What brand and model stethoscope do you have?
Bonus question: How do you wear it?

I have 3 scopes
Littman Cardio III my favorite,
Littman 4100 Electronic for initial assessments,
Littman Classic II given to me @ work.
Love the 4100 and you are right, you can hear everything!! Even w/ the volume mostly off, heart, breath sounds can be deafening.
Wouldn't trade them for anything.

Bought a green Littman Cardiology III as a treat for post-graduation but the tubing is very broad. So I got a black Adascope which has a narrower tubing but just as good acoustics and the eartips are more comfortable--but most of all it winds up nicely in my large scrubs side pocket. I'm beginning to think a $12 model from Walmart would be just as good.

I have a cheapy Prestige in lilac from the uniform store and I just ordered a GRX CD27 (Littman Cardiology III knockoff) in orange.
How do you like it? I think I will order one of those, then if I don't like it I'll buy a Littman when the financial aid comes!

Hey Zooz,
Which one you reccomend quality and sound-wise?
Prestige Clinical I or MDF 777?
I need a trusty scope with accurate sound.
Thanks,

lol I have two...but now I only use one. I have a Littmann Classic II S.E. and a Littmann Cardiology III (which is the one I use, obviously!) It's in the color plum, which is a pretty dark purple! My Classic II is the color ocean, a very very light blue.
I think sprague steths suck. The sound could be clear but I sold mine as the binaurals just did not fit and the extrnal noise always sneaked in my ears... Not for us EMT students I guess.. The double tubing was really stiff and not too flexible.
Sold it.

I have the Littman 3100 Electronic in plum. I LOVE it! Sounds are so clear. Definitely worth the investment my dad made :)
