Next stethoscope??

I am planning to buy myself another stethoscope in August or September. I am pending between a Sprague Rappaport and used Erkaphon duo. Which one would you choose?

If you can afford it I would suggest Littmann Classic III or even better Cardiology IV. You can also go with MDF that have a line of Sprague-Rappaport and Cardiology stethoscopes. Their products are less expensive than Littmann but they have highly positive reviews online. If you are interested in something more personalized they have the MPrints series and there is also the option of engraving. Another option is Ultrascopes that went even further with personalization and are making hand made printed stethoscopes. They are less popular on the market but the reviews I found on them are mostly positive as well.

At erkaphon duo, I like the look of the head. But Rapoport has double tubes. It depends on what you choose, sound or fetish. If only the sound, it is better erkaphon duo, if the appearance-Rapoport 😃

You can also go with MDF that have a line of Sprague-Rappaport and Cardiology stethoscopes. .

I can vouch for the MDF Sprague-Rappaport stethoscope. It's built a little nicer than the cheap knock-offs that you can find everywhere. The earpieces are nicer, the chestpiece rotation isn't a loud, abrupt "click" but a soft smoother one like on the Littmanns. It's a little bit more expensive than the knock-offs, but you also get free parts for the life of the stethoscope (but you have to register it online with MDF).

I have the navy one myself.
