Buying a new Steth

Just been looking around, thinking about buying "3M Littman Classic II SE Stethescope Pink Color Breast cancer special awareness edition" for a future girlfriend when I get one that is into this type of thing and a "Burgundy 3M Littman Lightweight II SE" for myself. Does anyone know how quality these are? I'm assuming that it's rather high, since both are Littmann. PS, both are relatively cheap and in my price range.

Any Littman is a good Littman. I use a Littman Cardiac in both practice and in play. I got it when I got my board certification so it's been almost 12 years, it's never let me down and it's been chewed on by many animals. It doesn't look as good as the day it came out of the box, but it works just fine.

If the steth you're looking at is in your price range, I'd say go for it. One cautionary note however, I'm a girl and I wouldn't be caught dead with a pink steth around my neck, either in play or in real life. But that's just me and maybe I didn't get the pink gene!

Play On!

Well, the pink is a major turn-on for me. If any woman will wear a stethoscope and take my blood pressure, I doubt that she will care about the color of the stethoscope.

I think the 3m is probably the best type anyone can get. you always get a really nice sound from them. well worth the buy but not too sure about pink tho! i know they do other colours too!

No argument here. I use a Littman Cardiology III SE in my real life and for play. Easy to here bowel, heart and lung sounds. I am sure any Littman would be more than adequate for you. I also have a Tycos Harvey Elite, which isn't quite as good but works. It's fun to have several steths to mix it up a bit. the Spragues can be nice and cold on the skin!

Colored stethoscopes! Oh my! Shouldn't it be more austere, more dignified, I can still remember our school doctor and his amber tubing Bell chestpiece!

Sprague-Rappaport with dual chestpiece (and little plastic pouch with accessories). Many foreign look alikes - I bought two dozen to give away from an import house - price $6.40 each with choice of color. What is it about the stethoscope that gives me such fullness in the groin

Any Littmann is good. They're all designed well and will provide you with the reliability and quality that's put into the price. The difference between the low-end and the high-end ones is really just the acoustics and sound quality.

Yes,I've heard that Littmanns have extremely confortable eartips...

I'm thinking of buying a littmann clasic ii,black 😃 ...

but there is another brand,I think it's called Heinz or Heiz,not sure,looks very similer to Littmann
