Cant decide between the cd27 & Litt III

[inspire]

It sounds like both are = in quality but Litt's are more $ (which is ok). The CD27 is less likely to get "lost". The Litt has the name. This is a tough decision because I have no experience in using a stethoscope and it sounds a lot of it is personal preference. I want the best for school and would love suggestions! Thanks!

I prefer Littmann. I have used the Litt lightweight, which is at the lower end of the price scale. It served its purpose well. Had it for about 10.5 years. I recently purchased a Litt Cardiology III, and I absolutely love it!!! I can hear breath/heart sounds so much better and I don't pick up much background noise (makes a big difference) like I did with the lightweight version. My advice is go to a uniform store or place that sells them and try them out. Get the one that works best for you (usage and budget). You can always buy a nicer one when you get out of school and are making the big bucks! :wink2: He-he!

This is true, littmann scopes are great quality I myself have a litt master classic litt lightweight, and a grx cd27 I find myself using the CD27 more often then not, CD27 is a great scope for the money, and well worth it with the free goodies it comes with.
