 Highly recommended Jul 19, 2007
By Andrew Son
Although most current medical students, residents, and cardiologists are aware that the Cardiology III stethoscope by Littmann is in vogue, I decided that the price tag attached to one of those stethoscopes was outrageously astronomical and decided to purchase this stethoscope instead. As the name implies, it is lightweight, and the acoustics are impressive. I don't believe that the cardiology III, which I have used, offers anything more that is usable in terms of acoustic data, unless you have very sensitive ears and/or are a cardiology fellow/attending. Remember that medicine is definitely not about who has the fanciest or most expensive tools, but about caring and thinking.
I also recommend this specific color; I ordered it thinking that no one else would have this color. I was crestfallen to find that it is a popular choice among nurses, who also choose this color thinking that it's not popular, and therefore a less likely candidate for theft/long-long term borrowing. However, I have grown attached to the color; it's easy on the eyes, and the computer monitor doesn't reflect the true color. It's a little darker.

great stethoscope May 02, 2007
By T. Fleury
I have been an EMT-Intermediate for 6 years, and every time i get into our ambulance its a different stethoscope with a different diaphragm that is just awful. All i use it for is BPs and Lung Sounds really, but it works great for both and is very comfortable. A friend of mine who is an RN recommended this, and for the price, it is the best stethoscope on the market (IMHO)... wish it came with a nametag or some extra earpieces, but for $40, its the best deal on the market. This was the least expensive with shipping that I found online, and in the 5 medical supply catalogs I reviewed before purchasing. Do yourself a favor, and buy this.

Great all-around stethoscope Nov 19, 2005
By D. Andrews
Littman has always been a trusted name for high quality stethoscopes. The Littman Lightweight is no exception. This is the perfect stethoscope for CNA, LPN, and Nursing students. It is also ideal for people who have trouble hearing with low quality steths.
This model is durable and well-made. It is lightweight and comfortable...which is important when you wear it around your neck for extended periods of time. The tubing is flexible and the earpieces are much better than cheaper versions. I began with this Littman and upgraded to the Littman Classic when I graduated Nursing school. In my experience, a quality stethoscope makes a WORLD of difference in the care that is provided. It is well worth the investment!!!

 Good for the price, but not the best. Oct 28, 2007
By Mary T. Bain
I've had my Lightweight for a little over a year. I've found that with this scope, it's harder to hear apical pulses in women or overweight men with a lot of adipose breast tissue. It's good for blood pressure and very basic assessment, but if you're wanting a quality stethoscope, get a Littman Cardiology III. Cardiology III's are quite a bit more expensive, but it's a worthy investment for something you'll use over and over again throughout your nursing career.

Great Stethoscope Feb 09, 2008
By Rebecca J. Farley

I never really thought it mattered what stethoscope you had. If it cost 15 or 60 dollars I didn't think there was much difference. I stand corrected. After listening to lung and heart sounds through this Littmann, I will never again settle for a cheap imitation.
