Does anyone know of a website that sells Littmann stethescopes at a lesser price? Maybe one that is having a sale? I have been to allheart.com and their prices are pretty decent...so many different models...some are around 50$ are those as good quality? I have also tried ebay but im not a big fan of ebay....anyone have an old one they want to sell? Im a nursing student and we are going over heart and lung sounds right now...my steth is a cheap one I picked up from the bookstore...it has two tubes and i'd really like another model that is better quality...but being a poor student money is always an issue...sigh...lol....

I've heard nothing but praise for Littman. I guess it just depends on what you need. My school requires a dual head stethoscope so I ordered the Classic II.

But I took a quick listen to my own heart and breathing, and it came in loud and clear. I have a murmur and a MVP (it clicks) so I'm going to find a quiet place and see if I can hear those. I'll let you know!

GrnHonu99, RN 1,459 Posts Specializes in Neuro, Critical Care. Jun 24, 2005 Hm that seems to be the consensus...all my teachers say its well worth the extra money.....maybe for my bday:)
