My school told us all to get Littman Cardio IIIs. Word of advice: unless you're 5'2" or shorter, get the 27in steth. Also, order from someplace that does engraving - it makes it harder for your expensive steth to grow legs.

Caribbean Blue Littmann Lightweight II S.E.

It's alright, I reckon, but I plan to get a better one once I have a job. If I end up working where I want to work, I'll need a pediatric scope. Tiny, tiny babies. Yeah man.

Littmann Classic II S.E. in ocean blue. I absolutely love it and it was worth the money My friend has an ultrascope and I have used her's before but I personally hear better with the Littmann (it's cheaper than the ultrascope, too!)

I have ended up with 2 Lightweight SE and ordered a Master Card. with my name on it because i wanted the best. I am kinda embarrassed to pull my Master Cardio out at the hospital because the nurses seem to get jealous and give me dirty looks. lol...

I use a Littman Master Classic II, Black Edition.
I love it because it doesn't have any 'shiny parts' (although I paid dearly for the Black Edition). If I'm buying a Littman, I always go with black. I think it looks sharp, more professional.
I would like to have an Ultrascope with a cute picture to have as a back-up, though. Just for funzies!

Yep Master classic II SE Black. I like it for the fact again that its not shiny! Plus no one is in our school had it, now all the incomings love it so they pick it up. Whatever you do, get it engraved or get a name tag for it!
