Product Reviews of Prestige Clinical Cardiology Stethoscope
Product Review: not top of the line
Summary: 4 Stars
This Prestige is a decent stethoscope with very good acoustics, but lacks one key feature compared to my old Tycos- the ear pieces do not rotate where they insert into the black tubing, therefore you cannot make minute adjustments for optimal ear comfort. Otherwise it is well worth the money.Product Review: poor quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I recently bought this stethascope as a less expensive alternative to the Litman cardiology I had that finally broke after a good 4 years of use. Although it had the look and lumen thickness similar to the Litman, with fairly good diaphram, the bell side had terrible quality. Also it would try to twist on you while in the ears make it very uncomfortable. The last straw was when the eartip split after just 2 weeks of use. I have returned it to Amazon and ordered a duplicate of my original Litman Cardiology that I know is a great product. It'll be 150% more money, but well worth it.Product Review: prestige clinical cardiology stethoscope
Summary: 4 Stars
the clarity of sound is very good. I have a littman lightweight and couldn't hear minute sounds like lung sound but this prestige allows me to hear crackles, wheezes and heart murmurs clearly. Additional pediatric diaphram and bell add more function. Overall the value and clarity outshine the minor drawbacks.
One drawback is the stiff hose so your ear piece tend to shift in your ear as you move the other end to listen. I usually just move my head along. Another drawback is the weight and bulky size of the bell/diaphram. I don't use the bell much at all so I just unscrew it off (feature to change the diaphram/bell). Lastly there seems to be some plays (slight looseness) where the bell/diaphram connect with the hose.
Product Review: suprised me!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this Prestige Clinical Cardiology stethescope because I wanted a good stethescope for a decent price and this doesn't dissapoint. I was a little bit weary and a little bit scared that I would be very dissapointed since this doesn't have the name Littman on it, but dont be afraid to get this. For the price it is such a bargin compared to littman. I used my girlfriends Littman Classic II as a comparison and boy does this stethoscope blow it out of the water. The clarity of this stethoscope compared to the littman is unprecedented. I listened to my dad's murmur with this stethescope and boy could you hear it with such clarity. The volume of this stethescope is also very loud. Dont be afraid to buy this stethescope, with the price and the quality you can't go wrong.
Edit: Also it comes with a pediatric diaphragm that you can easily change so that you can still retain the bell function
