ERKA Finesse 2 Stethoscope | Switchable Dual-Head Convex Membranes And Dual Channel Tubing For Each Ear | Perfect For Cardiology And Pediatric Use | Lightweight With Case Included | Black

My mom (hospice nurse of nearly 20 years) recommended this stethoscope to me for my EMT class. The dual-lumen (like Littman Cardiology stethoscopes!!) and lower price point (lower than a Littman Classic III when I bought it) made it an easy sell for me. I can hear heart sounds, lungs sounds, and take BP with ease. It feels really high quality. It’s made in Germany. Furthermore, the extra ear pieces and canvas carrying case are a nice plus. I imagine I will use the stethoscope for years and years (unless I lose it)!

Very sensitive and yes, it does block out external noise well. I originally was going to return this as I made the mistake of ordering another stethoscope after directly from Amazon (poor business practice to not accept returns Amazon and not disclose it on the product page). Anyway, I figured I didn't need 2 stethoscopes, but couldn't see sending this one back as the sound quality is SO much better than my Adscope. I have decided to save my Erka for when I return to nursing school, since I only need something for BPs and pediatric apicals right now. Even compared to the few times I've needed to borrow my coworkers Littman, my Erka outperforms them hands down.

I use it in my office only, as everything German is heavy built. I cannot walk around carrying it al day I use another lighter stethoscope for that.Great sensitivity and acousticsRecommend this item

Every bit as good as my Cardio III was before it went missing. As others have noted: it's heavy. I wear my stethoscopes around my neck, but you stuff yours in a labcoat pocket it might be an issue for you. Excellent product, excellent price.

The thingie you put on your chest is a bit heavy. Feels like it is made out of lead, but it works great so no problem. Had my first palpitations attack recently and wondered what it sounded like, really strange. No heart problems, doctor says it is just age related, as in OLD.

Love it! Use it more than I do my littman stethoscope

Best stethoscope I've ever had! A must buy.

Very good stethoscope. The sound quality is one of the best I have ever used. I would recommend this to anyone seeking a good quality stethoscope.
