I absolutely Love my new Littman. I was worried about spending so much on a stethoscope without being able to try it first. I have been in the Respiratory care field for over 20 years. I can not Give enough praise to Littman 3100. All I can say.. IT'S Wonderful. I now have others at work that are looking into purchasing one after trying mine. Its my personal opinion that this is the Best of the Best.

I bought this stethescope after another amplified stethescope that I have been using for years stopped working. I wear hearing aids and take my aids out and crank the sound up. I was nervous buying one over the internet without trying it out first, but I did my homework, and boy did it pay off! I can hear just as well with this stethescope as the one that died. I also like that the controls are near the diaphram where your fingers are anyway. I do not mind taking my aids out to oscultate sounds. I just worn my patients not to say anything important to me untill they are back in. This is the way I have done it for years. The sound from the stethescope is clear, and the background noises are indeed minimized. What a joy after years of using older techmology! I also like the feature that displays the pulse rate right on the back of the diaphram, saving me a little time. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase. As an added bonus, by purchesing it here, I saved so much money that I had it ingraved and had mone

Love it! I work as a paramedic in an extremely noisy truck. I can now hear lung sounds and heart tones loud and clear and adjust the volume according to the noise level! This is a blessing!

I've used about four different electronic stethoscopes over the years. I am hear impaired. This is the best that I have had. It amplifies better and I can hear much better. Prior to this my favorite was and E-scope. This works better.

I was a little apprehensive spending this much money sight unseen (or unheard in this case), but this stethoscope is AMAZING! Fantastic clarity and easy to use controls. Does display patient's heart rate, but I wouldn't necessarily rely on it's reading in place of actually counting for myself

i have had this for about 3 years now it works great have issues with auto shut on on b/ps but other then that it is great, and it keeps me from having to get hearing aids which is what i want to put off till i have to

I teach students to NEVER listen to breath sounds (especially kids) through clothing. The noise reduction is good enough to hear through clothes and hear murmurs and egophony and petroliloquy right through the clothes, though this still would not be a good practice. Almost too sensitive, but great for these old ears. Pricey, but worth it, especially if this is your first device. You sure will use it in clinical medicine no matter what field you are in. If you need to hear more than blood pressures, consider this steth.

The best stethoscope for heart sounds

i have had 2 other electronic stethoscopes and this one by far is the best i ever had.

I participated in the 14 day free trial using this stethoscope and I really dreaded the day that I had to return it. This is an excellent stethoscope, I'm saving up to purchase one. A must have for me.

I'm so glad I bought this item. I highly recommend it to every nurse.

I love this steth. The only complaint that I would register is that I was hoping that ""ambient noise reduction"" would reduce the level of noise associated with manipulation of the device. This has not been the case, however, once in place and no shirt rubbing over the back of fingers etc... you can pick up the faintest of sounds. Overall, very pleased.

That's a excellent product!!!

With different earpieces (purchased separately) this stethoscope works great with my ITC hearing aids. The operation is very simple and straight forward. I like that I can preprogram the settings. Most of my pts. don't even realize there is anything different between my stethoscope and others. So far battery life seems good. Very happy with my purchase.

Great sound and filtering.

Use it daily as a replacement for my old 3000, whose arm snapped. This one is much-improved, primarily with better sound amplification and noticeably-better ambient noise reduction. I definitely like that there's a screen readout so you can see what volume setting you're really on. (With the old one I just had to guess, hard with 7 or 8 different levels.) The pulse-reader is cute, but takes too long to capture for it to actually be useful.

I got it for my dad, He's a cardiologist and kind of starting to have hearing problems, He says the stethoscope is fantastic and very helpful and easy to use. I can't throw more details since I'm not the final user, so far my dad is very happy with this stethoscope.

Good--Enables me to hear heart, lung, bowel, vascular sounds where I couldn't before. The background noise elimination is good, not perfect. The choice of high-pitched or low-pitched sounds works well.

I work in an Emergency Department that has excessive loud sounds. The ability to have noise cancellation and amplification is great.

LATELY I HAD SOME TROUBLES HEARING FINE SOUNDS, AND WITH THIS STETHOSCOPE ALL THE TROUBLES DISSAPEARED.........GREAT

I wear behind-the-ear hearing aids and the 3100 works well with them. I wish I had bought this years ago.

I have used electronic stethoscopes for over 12 years now due to hearing loss. This one is the best. Appears solid in the headpiece, not ""plasticky"" like so many others. Headpiece is easy to clean with alcohol swab, no creases that accumulate debris or germs. Sound quality is adequate, and the feel is good. The biggest problem I have had with the stethoscopes over the years is that the wires break from folding it to put in your pocket, or maybe just from general use. We will have to see how long this one lasts.

The first Littmann 3100 sent to me wouldn't work properly out of the box. It had a problem with the connection where the head comes off to insert the battery. The connection was bad and only gave loud static. I returned it and was immediately sent a working unit. This stethoscope is great. I can hear bowel sounds when auscultating the heart! O.K., maybe that is not a good thing, but I can hear very well with this. I can hear breath sounds clearly and last week I identified a murmur. I love this stethoscope, just hope it lasts. Had to remove the name plate I bought (Black Identification Tag, $3.98) specifically for this tubing--and paid $7 to have engraved-because the name plate wouldn't lay flat and kept catching on everything, especially hair.

Noise in the background does not interfer with your examination. You don't need to have a hearing impairment to appreciate this stethoscope.

I was pleased to find I had much more amplification, better noise reduction ( still not all I could hope for). It was very nice to see it used a conventional battery. I used to have to order a $20 replacement battery for my no name

So far I love this stethoscope. I haven't used it too long but what I have used it for it works great

I bought this stethoscope because I wear hearing aids in both ears. Although I have to remove my hearing aids to use this stethoscope, the electronic volume controls make up all the difference. I can hear the sounds I need to hear & can distinguish them. It is a benefit to have to scope look ""normal"" rather than the headset style stethoscope typically recommended for hearing aid wearers.

Great for hearing in the busy emergency department. Love the versatility.

Light weight easy to use.

Fast shipping from Allheart! This stethoscope is awesome! I have trouble hearing in one ear and this stethoscope makes it no problem to hear any sound I need to hear, it is an answer to a real problem!

I bought this item for my fiance who is a registered nurse and he loves it. He says that it works so well that the physicians ask to borrow it all the time. I would say that is excellent since he works on a cardiology floor.

i couldn't be more pleased with the quality and workmanship, as well as the features offered on this scope. My hearing is not as sharp as it once was was, and this scope cleans up the background noise and allows you to amplify what you are hearing .

Still getting used to it.

Great unit very easy to use

I purchased this stethescope as a back-up for my other amplified stethescope. I am totally deaf in one ear, and have a high frequency loss in the other. I like this stethescope much better, and the sound is much clearer than my other one.

I love this stethoscope! It certainly is a step up from the Littmann 3000 Electronic Stethoscope.

The most advanced and sophisticated stethoscope that I have ever used in my 30 years in the medical profession.

I would give this product a 4.5 star rating. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is I trialed the 3200 and was under the impression the 3100 had all the same acoustic features. I was disappointed to find it did not have the extended frequency listening capability.I have been delighted with the acoustics. It is truly incredible to hear crystal clear breath sounds and heart sounds. It is no heavier than the master cardiology, and the battery is easy to replace. I have recommended the 3100 to several colleagues.

I used this stethoscope from a nursing friend. It is Amazing! The clarity of sounds... what I thought was clear lung sounds, I may have been missing without the 3100. I just ordered one for myself, can hardly wait for it to come it.

I love this product. It works wonderfully. Its easy to use. The fact that you can turn up the volume is amazing!

I have hearing aids and have difficulty hearing with a conventional stethoscope. The 3100 allows me to adjust the volume so I can continue to do pt. care. I can even hear to get a manual blood pressure in the back of a noisey moving ambulance. I am a Paramedic and the 3100 is allowing mre to continue to provide good patient care. Thank You!Gwen Reed

I knew I was going to need this item soon. Getting older, have tinnitus. Hosing cracked on 15 year old Littman Cardiology scope, time to come off the money. Glad I did, i love it!

I LOVE THIS STETHOSCOPE. THE CLARITY IS SUPER. THE PRICE WAS WITHIN MY BUDGET.

I purchased this stethoscope about 2 weeks ago and love it. I work as a paramedic in EMS and had a cardiology III prior to this. Althought the III was good it was hard to take a BP or listen to heart/lung sounds going down the road but with this 3100 I can do B/P's and hear a flea hickup in the back of the medic unit. I would recommend this unit to anyone. Would make a good gift for someone who is fixing to graduate a medic class. Also this unit isnt all that heavy.
