Ok ...so this weekend i am planning on shopping for my stethoscope. Would you all recommend the Littman Cadio III? If not which one?

ok so now i just read about the Welch Allyn stethoscope and while Littman has a 5 year warranty Welch has a 10 year warranty and they seem pretty good too. http://allheart.com/ty5079elite.html

Do yourself a big favor and test a few different models. What works for one may not work for you. The weight of the tubing against your neck, the shape of your ears and how they are set, all play a part in how a stethescope will work for you, as well as your hearing.

And where you are going to be working.................

I think the Littman Cardio is excellent myself. Mine is going strong 8 years after I got it as a gift for graduation.
