1. Anymore feedback on the GRX Medical Expert Cardiology CD-27 stethoscope?

   beyondx4 replied to CaringMama's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Yep. That is the CD27 stethoscope. Don't forget you could also pick your colors when you order. If you've never used these Cardiology III-type scopes, keep in mind they're a little bit heavier than the Classic II SE dual heads.

2. Anymore feedback on the GRX Medical Expert Cardiology CD-27 stethoscope?

   beyondx4 replied to CaringMama's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I've owned a couple of Littmanns myself and was introduced to the GRX CD27 last year and I still love it. Sound quality is excellent, probably only topped by the Master Cardiology (which has a bigger diaphragm and better isolating single-head). I'm s...

3. An Interesting Finding Regarding Kila Lab's Single-Head

   beyondx4 replied to beyondx4's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Thanks. I've been trying to get as much feedbacks on the CD27 as possible to ensure that it's not just me and I'm not recommending the wrong equipments to fellow students. When I was first recommended the CD27, being a Littmann fan, I didn't want to ...

   beyondx4 replied to beyondx4's topic in Uniform/Gear

   CNA_Timmy, That was some work you had to go through. I'm glad it's all cleared up; however, I doubt if your nursing director will be able to enforce his/her authoritarian rulings upon the nursing class on such a ridiculous requirement. Please test ou...

   beyondx4 replied to beyondx4's topic in Uniform/Gear

   CNA_Timmy, Hmmm, registered to FDA? I think that is one of the most ridiculous **** I've ever heard. I don't recall even seeing an FDA registration certificate with either my Littmann Classic II Se or the Cardiology III. I was actually introduced to ...

   beyondx4 replied to beyondx4's topic in Uniform/Gear

   CNA_Timmy, Make sure your nursing school allows students to use single-head scopes. Honestly, if any student asks me what scope I would recommend, I wouldn't hesitate telling them to get the GRX CD27 due to its performance and versatility (it may be...

7. An Interesting Finding Regarding Kila Lab's Single-Head

   beyondx4 replied to beyondx4's topic in Uniform/Gear

   GlenCoco, With my limited experience, I'm not aware of another company that makes a single-head stethoscope that is so close in specifications to the Littmann MC as the Kila single-head. The only GRX scope that I currently have is the GRX CD27 (the C...

   beyondx4 replied to beyondx4's topic in Uniform/Gear

   No, actually, I'm not that good of a salesman. I've made a career change from computer network engineering into the health industry recently. It's ok if you wanted to go with the majority and buy the Littmann...nobody's telling not to do so, in fact,...

   beyondx4 posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   Some of you may have read my earlier review postings on various stethoscopes from Kila Labs and GRX Medical (the CD27 is just amazing). I've been using Kila's single-head stethoscope (http://www.kila.com/specssingle.html) for a few months now and was...

    kylesscreenname, i've ordered from kila multiple times and have never received boxes like these. the boxes should be similar in style and quality to, say, a 3m littmann box. email them and complain about the packaging. their customer service is very ...

11. Littmann Cardiology III Stethoscope or Classic II S.E?

    beyondx4 replied to futurern123's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I think most students make it a bigger deal than it really is. Trust me, there will be many things in nursing school that will stress you out much more. You seem like you're set on the Littmanns. The Classic II SE is a good universal stethoscope many...

    I used to have a Littman Classic II SE throughout nursing school and it was great until it disappeared. I do have a Cardiology III as a gift that I also love but don't use too often because I don't want to lose another expensive stethoscope. Now, if ...

13. Littmann Cardiology III Stethoscope or Classic II S.E?

    beyondx4 replied to futurern123's topic in Uniform/Gear

    Inspire, To be honest, having the Littmann Cardiology III still feels so cool...it's like having a Porsche or a Ferrari; however, note that the recent Nissan GT-R from Japan has spanked both the Porsche and Ferrari on the road and on the track for ab...

14. Littmann Cardiology III Stethoscope or Classic II S.E?

    beyondx4 replied to futurern123's topic in Uniform/Gear

    2bnursesteph2010, It's a good idea to start out in nursing school with a quality scope that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I'd hate to make recommendations because what may sound good to me may not to you; however, for students on a budget, I agree t...

15. Littmann Cardiology III Stethoscope or Classic II S.E?

    beyondx4 replied to futurern123's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I'm not sure why most nursing students are just stressing and drooling over these Littmann stethoscopes, mostly because of the brand name. I'm guilty of this trend myself, as I own a Classic II SE and Cardiology III scope; however, my gf, who's a 3rd...
