Which Littmann stethoscope is best?

Published

Hi all! I'm a nursing student about to graduate. (Less than 3 weeks!) I'm asking for a Littmann stethoscope for Christmas from my family, but I can't decide which one. Thoughts? Tips? Opinions? I'm probably going to start in Tele, but I'm hoping to move to ER once I get some experience, if that makes a difference. Thanks!

I compared the classic III and cardio III for sound and weight and hands down get the classic III. Best of both worlds not as heavy as cardio III.

I'm trying to make the same decision - is having the tunable feature better than the traditional bell design? And is the cardio worth it above the classic? There aren't as many reviews out there about the III's but I think I'm leaning towards one of those and would love to get it today due to Cyber Monday sales.

For nursing school cardio III is way overkill. I'd get the classic II for school.
