3M Littmann Classic III Monitoring Stethoscope, Smoke-Finish, Black Tube, 27 inch, 5811

Bought this stethoscope as a gift to my beautiful nurse. She loved it. She mentioned that is good sound quality, durable and she uses this one as her main stethoscope instead of the one NHS provides.

Excellent piece of kit as a doctor-in-training. Looks very lovely too.

Very good although I wish I bought the more expensive cardio one, as feel you may as well pay out for the best one.

Nice and does the job

I was recommended this stethoscope by my programme director when I was a student paramedic. A good stethoscope is essential for paramedics and nurses — the cheaper ones might get you by, but when listening to heart and lung sounds, you need reliable clarity. I’ve had no issues with this Littmann Classic III. The tubing is durable, and the sound quality is consistently clear. It’s not the cheapest option, so some students may find it expensive, but if you can afford it, it’s worth the investment. During my training, staff often commented positively on me having this particular stethoscope. Overall, it’s a dependable, professional-quality tool that I would recommend to anyone starting out in healthcare.

My student nursing essential item. The quality of the audio is impeccable and it is very comfortable to use. The colour is absolutely gorgeous. My favourite purchase.

Wish these were cheaper, perfect colour, just what I expected - perfect for nurses that work in community who need to undertake manual observations! maybe even student nurses starting out. I 100% would recommend - work great.

I have tried other stethoscopes in the past that were cheaper but it is definitely worth the extra money to get clear sounds, a comfortable fit, flexibility in the tubing, good weight, a high quality feel and not to mention stylish stethoscope.

Pros: The quality is great, the colour of the tubing and chest piece is very pretty looks even better in person, and it's unique amongst my classmates who have mainly black stethoscopes. Breath, and chest sounds sound nice and clear with this stethoscope in my opinion, I'm a paramedic student and needed a stethoscope to hear breath and heart sounds for physical assessment of patients while in potentially loud conditions and this works great to block out outside noises and isolate the body sounds, its comfortable in my ears. The tubing is lightweight (you can easily wear this around your neck for hours without fatigue). The tubing is very flexible, and it's easy to clean with alcohol wipes. Tubing is long enough to comfortably distance yourself from a patient while listening to breath/other sounds. Comes with a 5 year warranty. And the Littmann app membership included with purchase is helpful for studying sounds. Cons: It's very expensive (I have an MDF one stethoscope that is half the price of this and sounds almost as good, I'd rate the MDF one as a 8/10 and the littmann classic iii as 9/10 sound wise. The major difference for the MDF one is it's a bit heavier, tubing is longer, and stiffer, and it has a double sided chest piece in comparison to this littmann). Also the instructions warn that this tubing colour because its red based will fade or distort if santizied with bleach. Finally, I find the increasing pressure to hear different frequencies chest piece hit or miss, if I push too hard the sound is muted sometimes (I prefer a double sided chest piece with each side designated for different sound frequencies). Overall I would highly recommend this stethoscope to others. However, if your on a budget consider an MDF one. If you found this review helpful please click the helpful button below :)

Good quality

Works well and colours are nice. Downside is the box isn't sealed so you don't really know if it was used but just cleaned up. Also may ship in a plastic mailer with no padding so the box might get damaged, which can be an issue if you're buying as a gift.

Ils fonctionnent très bien. Très bonne qualité je suis contente merci beaucoup!

I Have been using this for 3years. Its worth the money. Sound is clear from both sides. It's earpiece are also good. Till the date it never caused me any issue.
