Which Stethoscope Should I Buy? Littmann Classic III Or Littmann Cardiology IV

Do you think Littman Core is too much for a nursing student?

music way to loud.

1. How to ensure the Quality of the Littman Stethoscope?
2. Is there any Testing Devices / Simulators for testing Stethoscopes ?
3. What is the Testing Method(s) for Testing the Stethoscopes ?
4. Which one is the Original -- the engraved Trade Mark or Printed Trade mark?

stupid music… sorry.

What's better if you have hearing loss?

The cheaper paramed has the best acoustics, seriously. Try it

Would you say if auscultation is difficult for you, it might be wise to try/go for the Cardiology IV even as a student/almost to capstone student? I can't seem to hear heart and lung sounds or blood pressures very well consistently with my Littmann Lightweight and I purchased a Classic III that I ended up returning because it didn't seem to make much of a difference compared to the cost difference, but I tried one of the nurse's Cardio IV's at my clinical rotation and I heard at least my own heartbeat way clearer and didn't seem to get as much feedback from moving around my fingers on the tubing or the chestpiece, but I wanted to know if maybe that was just maybe a good moment or if that's genuinely likely a known benefit of the Cardio IV? Unfortunately I wasn't able to actually use it beyond just trying on my own heart lol. I suppose I could purchase it somewhere with a good return policy so I could try it out and see if it helps me and actually is worth the bigger asking price.

Great video, especially the cutting of the tube was a nice touch. Now I can finally see why the Cardiology IV is better than the III. I am using at this time Littman Select for a few years and I really had trouble to hear anything, especially in patients with a few extra pounds, so I am definitely going for an upgrade from a Littman Select to a Cardiology IV. Thanks ! =)

Hi, would you say the cardiology iv does not have background noises

I’m a medical assisting student right now. I currently use Littman series 2 lightweight. I can’t hear much of anything. All I hear very low sounds I can barely hear. Just recently ordered a Cardiology 4. I was thinking about it for awhile. Can’t wait for it to arrive and test out how different the two are. Thanks for your video.

What do you recommend for an adult oncology nurse?

Littmann master or Cardiology IV is the most ideal for an anesthesiologist? I am searching it as a present for a good friend. 🌷

can bsc cardiac technolgy students use this?

what is the purpose of bigger chest piece in cardiology 4.

Hello there, i just became a paramedic and i was wondering which is better for my work environment, given the situations such as trying to auscultate in a moving ambulance etc. looking forward to your opinion!

Hi Jenny
Long time no see! I wonder to know what’s the music in the video 😃 Thank you😘

I am a first semester nursing student and I am debating on littmann 3 or 4. I do not mind investing in a good stethoscope since I would like to become an ER or ICU nurse in the future. However, I do not know if starting off with the 4 will make it more difficult since it is all new to me. What do you recommend?

If u r medical student and if u have money to buy Littman 4. Would u go for it over littmann 3?

Which one do you think would be better in noisy environments as a paramedic?

I’m in EMS I’m get start of with the classic 3 then get that Cardiology 4 later thanks for the review I got an better understanding

What would you recommend for a first-year medical student?

I wonder two things. Is there a plan for a Bjorn Hall cardiology prototype sometime? And how long will it still take Littmann to premiere the Cardiology V?

Great video! In the future if you could please turn down the background music :)

Thanks for the cutting ......😂😂

Thank you for shooting this comparison video! Will be really helpful for me to take right decision.

I have one doubt though. As per the specification mentioned in Amazon site both are 27 inches long, but on some other online sites the Cardiology IV is also of 22 inches long. So is there any chances that Cardiology IV is available in both 22 inch and 27 inch sizes in the market? and may be you have the 22 inch one in the video, because as you mentioned and it does looks like, Cardiology IV is shorter in length than Classic III in the video.

Can you please confirm this? And what's the length mentioned on the box of your Cardiology IV?

Happy New Year which of the two stethoscopes can you recommend? Many thanks in advance
