3M Littmann CORE Digital Stethoscope, Our Most Advanced Stethoscope Yet, Up To 40x Amplification, Active Noise Cancellation, In-App Sound Wave Visualization, High Polish Copper Chestpiece, 8870

I am honestly obsessed with this stethoscope. I have some reduced hearing right now due to fluid buildup (getting that taken care of soon, don’t worry), and I was a little nervous about how that would affect my assessments—but this completely changed the game for me. I can hear so clearly with this, it’s honestly kind of amazing. The amplification is a huge difference compared to a standard stethoscope. Heart and lung sounds are much easier to pick up, and the noise cancellation really helps cut out background noise, especially in busy clinical settings. It makes me feel way more confident in what I’m hearing instead of second-guessing everything. The digital features are also really cool. Being able to visualize sound waves in the app adds another layer of learning, which is super helpful as a student. It’s not just a tool, it actually helps you improve your assessment skills. The only downside is the price, it’s definitely an investment. But for me, especially with hearing challenges right now, it’s 100% worth it.

This Stethoscope Raises the Bar! Although it’s a bit pricey, I can confidently say that it sets a new standard for what a stethoscope should be. From the moment I picked it up, I could tell it was built with high-quality materials and craftsmanship. All I can say is wow! The sound quality is exceptional, making it easy to hear even the faintest heartbeats and lung sounds, which is crucial in my line of work. What’s even more impressive is how many people I've let try it out who also respond with a resounding wow. Many of them end up ordering one for themselves if they can afford it. While it’s not the cheapest option on the market, I genuinely believe it is worth every penny. The performance and durability you get are unparalleled compared to other stethoscopes. I also highly recommend purchasing the hard case that’s specifically designed for this stethoscope. It’s essential for protecting your investment, especially if you accidentally drop it while transporting it. Overall, this stethoscope combines quality, performance, and a touch of luxury, making it an invaluable tool for any healthcare professional. I couldn't be happier with my purchase

Should have upgraded a long time ago. What a difference in what I can hear!! ONLY downside is the digital amplifier rides directly on my clavicle when wearing around my neck, and that gets a bit annoying.

Works absolutely well, and I love the silencer feature too. You won’t regret this purchase, and it’s worth the price, too.

After spending a few hours on the internet I didn't think that I would be able to get a stethoscope that would connect wirelessly to my bluetooth enabled hearing aids. That however, is exactly what the Littmann Core Stethoscope does. In my medical experience (I am a doctor: MD) the Littman cardioscope has always been an excellent instrument. If you are not wearing hearing aids, this instrument amplifies the heart and lung sounds very effectively. That part is unchanged. However, and this is the big news, you can disconnect the headphones from the stethoscope, turn on the Eko app on your bluetooth enabled cell phone (I have an Iphone), select start and connect the CORE device, choose either full cardiac exam or spot check (I prefer the full cardiac exam) and not only do you get a tracing of the heart rhythm, but the heart tones are crystal clear and easily identifiable. I can easily identify my very soft murmur of mild aortic stenosis. One important caveat: be sure that your phone volume setting is about 3 quarters of full volume to full volume. This is the most effective way to get full amplification of the heart tones. I am auscultating heart tones more effectively now (with my hearing impairment) than I was able to do when I had no hearing loss! It's that good. One other point, because you're not tethered to a stethoscope, you can keep a safe distance from those possibly infected patients. I plan to carry the headpiece of the stethecope in my pocket and just use it as such, without the ear pieces. Someone had commented in one of the reviews that I read that said the sounds were "scratchy". I did not experience this problem to any significant degree. You always get a little "scratchiness" with any stethoscope, when you move to different positions on the chest wall. One request of the manufacturer: it would be great if you could manufacture a small cap to cover the opening of the head of the stethoscope (where it connects to the headset tubes) so it doesn't get clogged up in my coat pocket. For all of you hearing impaired medical practitioners, I hope this helps!

Phenomenal amplification and clarity! Excellent quality as expected from Littmann.

As a former Fire & Rescue EMT I went all out and I bought this 3M Littmann CORE digital stethoscope to compliment my Wellue BP2 Connect - Blood Pressure Monitor + AI-ECG and O2/pulse finger monitor. I will be adding a few more items to my "set" soon. My declining health and doctors somewhat dictated that I get those and few other things. I decided that I would bite the bullet and get now what I could not afford as and EMT back then. Sometimes nice things just make you feel better, at least that was my perspective and rationale that I used to justify this. I will leave it to my favorite doctor in my Will! lol It is nice and works well, but very overpriced for me and my application- that of being the patient and not a doctor, especially a cardiologist and that is who this setup is aimed at. I would like to suggest that they have an APP that is aimed for people/users like me, but it is a HIGH QUALITY PROFESSIONAL DEVICE and I suspect that there are very few of the MEs out there that will spring for this and at the price they ask. When I saw my GP today he and his assistant were impressed, and got the appropriate amount of OOOHs and AAAAHHHs that one would expect. I like COPPER color and that is what I got with gold being to tripe and overused now-days I picked COPPER as my go-to metallic color of choice. I do with the metal earpieces would match instead of being black, but I bet I can make a project of it and copper plate it at home one of these days?? However, after getting this and more contemplation- I have decided that if I were todo it over again, YES- I would do it again. Now if I can find an APP that would let me integrate this S-Scope with the Wellue products then I would be a really happy camper. I don't have time to learn to program an APP to do it so I will just have to hope some bored programmer will and let me know! lol YES- If this is what you need and want, go for it- buy it and then ask nicely for better software if you need it (like me). I did not like the optional ID tag that I purchased with it. At any price (or free) is a cheap-out option to go with such a fine medical instrument and then put their name on it!?! What were you thinking 3M/LITTMANN? Someone in authority needs to see the packaging and quality and reconsider that option, seriously reconsider. Yes- get the S-scope CORE Digital thing and pass up the optional ID thing. Maybe use a gold paint pen and write your name behind the short hose, sounds trashy but it is a step up from what they offer and actually put their brand on! If you have any questions feel free to ask.

So far, it looks and feels great. I'm HOH so I needed something I can amplify sound with. I had a budget, so it was important to stay below a certain number but still have something good and effective. I have not taken this to work yet, but trying it at home, it met my expectations. I did compare it to my basic stethoscope and the difference is night and day. I can definitely hear better from this. I don't know if I'll use the smart features, but I do hope there is a way to adjust volume gradually instead of the button going regular to loud. We'll see. Its very stylish and professional looking. It feels durable. The black color was affordable compared to competitors who charge more for a solid color. I didn't receive any incentives but I do recommend this product.

I have to say, I love this stethoscope! I previously had the III version stethoscope from Littmann and although I liked it, I struggled to hear sounds clearly on certain patients. After trying a similar model of my co-worker's I was finally convinced to get this one. I love how clear the audio is; I can even hear heart sounds when listening to lower posterior lungs! I'm not a big fan of the Eko app as I don't have much use for it but I like connecting to it to see my stethoscope's battery life. I've heard some people say it's tedious to charge the stethoscope but I simply turn the electronic mode off after auscultating patients and I only have to charge it every ~3 (12 hour) shifts. And even then it's only about 2 hours to charge it fully. So not a big nuisance in my eyes. To me the only slight issue is that the stethoscope tubing is longer than the III model, meaning it doesn't fit into my current stethoscope case and is a bit awkward to fold and put in my scrub pants' side pocket. But still a great item!

Excellent ! Le stéthoscope à avoir comme praticien ! Enfin des diagnostic plus facile juste à l’écoute

I couldn't register the product online. When contacted littman through mail with serial number and pics they didn't bothered to reply. So I returned it.

3 m core stethoscope working well, perfectly clear audio, I use it all the time in the hospital where I work

So clear and loud,a perfect choice
