Greater Goods - Dual head stethoscope for nurses, medical students and medical doctors

I love this company. This is my fourth product from them, and everything they make is absolutely outstanding. From the moment you open the package, the attention to detail and quality of this stethoscope are evident. The unit itself is sturdy, well-crafted, and feels professional. It’s single-tubed (many others are double-tubed) so this may not do as well in a super-busy, loud hospital setting. In a non-noisy environment, the single-tube approach helps cut down on the ambient noise floor, instead letting your ears focus on what they need to...your patient! The chestpiece has a plastic edge instead of a cold metal edge. How many times have we all cringed a little when that cold stethoscope first gets pressed onto our chest or back? That cringe is non-existent here, and there’s nothing but comfort while being examined. In my testing, I had no issues hearing heartbeats, breathing, blood flow, peristalsis, etc. The tips fit well in my ears, and it’s a tight enough fit to allow you to hear what you need to without feeling like your ears are being crushed. Both the tips and chest piece are removable for cleaning or replacement. (Pro tip: 70% isopropyl alcohol does the trick...) Two super cool things: 1) You buy this thing and you’re automatically a part of the Greater Goods “free parts for life” program. They’ll send you additional ear tips or chestpiece replacements for the life of your product. 2) With every purchase you make with Greater Goods, they donate money toward ending child sex trafficking, which is *awesome*. I may sound like a company plant writing this review, but I’m honestly not. I’m just a very impressed customer who is thrilled at the quality of the products these guys churn out time and time again. Their customer service is spot on, and their products are rock solid. Buy this stethoscope.

I tried another stethoscope here on Amazon (the Omron Sprague), the supposed gold standard, but it was just so bad that I had to return it (it was sold by Amazon, so this isn't a "counterfeit" problem). Also had to return an Omron BP monitor recently -- evidently some companies don't care about quality control once they've made a name for themselves. Well, fool me twice, shame on me. When I called their customer service dept, they even tried to tell me that I could not return it and that Amazon would reject the return -- wrong ... This stethoscope, on the other hand, is wonderful. Even though my head is fairly wide, the earpieces were snug but comfortable. The acoustics were excellent (I'm not a medical student or professional, so take for what it's worth). But for what I need it for, this is a very nice stethoscope and I can easily hear what I expect to hear. This is my second GreaterGoods purchase and I'm very happy with it (oddly enough, the last one was also a BP monitor). I haven't had to talk to customer support, so I can't talk to that, but I suppose that's the best customer support you can have -- where your products are so good, you don't need it.

Good quality and can hear just as well as the more expensive brand

Just ok, hard to hear heart.
