3M Littmann Cardiology IV Stethoscope Limited Edition, High Polish, Copper Chestpiece, 6180, Black Tube, 27 Inch

This was my first stethoscope that I actually owned and it did not disappoint. I was so set on getting the Black edition but I was not fond of the matte black so I looked into the smoke edition and wow. For reference, the metal pieces are gunmetal. I was not sure if the metal pieces would be black but with a glossy finish or more of a dark gray. It is like gunmetal, like a glossy dark gray. It is absolutely beautiful. Like a piece of jewelry for health care providers. For the acoustics: it is very clear. I don't know in comparison to the Master Cardiology or the Classic III but the acoustics are very clear and loud for me. The price for the stethoscope was the lowest price I have ever seen and I have been watching the prices like a hawk before and after Black Friday. There's no engravement option but that's okay. I am absolutely in love with it!

Great stethoscope! Looks nice and the sound quality is great. It’s hard to make something with quality be light weight! It doesn’t work that way. Anything around your neck especially a Cardiology stethoscope can weigh you down if you have it around your neck long enough. I got the magnetic stethoscope holder, steth ‘n go, and so I don’t have to worry about carrying my Cardiology 4 around my neck.

I’m a register nurse. I work in the ICU. I have tried other cardio stethoscopes. I own the ADC brand which is a good serviceable stethoscope. I also own the Littman cardio master very good stethoscope and was my go to device for a while. I wanted and did try an electric stethoscope, I feel they are overrated at this point ( price point vs technology). I read the reviews and though I would give it a shoot. Let me say this is by far the best stethoscope I have put into my ears. Not even close instantly impressed, whatever your trying to hear you will hear it and hear it clearly. This one is a no brainer folks.

My 20$ stethoscope that was included with my EMT class broke and I needed a new one. After speaking with a few people within the field they all recommended the investment of a good Littman stethoscope. I did some research and although the Cardiology IV was more expensive and heavier than the classic, it was rated better for sound quality especially in loud environments (like the ER or the back of the ambulance).I couldn’t believe the sound difference. The acoustics are so much better. Both more clear and louder.If you use one for a profession especially with loud external noises, I highly recommend the cardiology IV.For regular nurses (non ER) or quiet doctoral offices I’d save the 100 and go with the classic iii.I also chose this electric blue color to stand out because nice stethoscopes often grow legs or get lost on scene especially if black. The smoke finished diaphragm and ears look much classier IMO and don’t show as many fingerprints. This color really pops and others won’t be mistaking theirs for mine.Well worth the sound investment. You have to hear them to believe it. Ask a coworker if you can try there’s if you have a chance.

I am so shocked and I know how many people might think this is a fake review because of how good it is. THEY ARE AMAZINGGGG!! I originally thought I was getting a fake pair of littman and I was scared because of the price point. But I was not disappointed. I verified if it was a real on by going to littman websight and placing the serial number it sounds so crazy how clear the quality is. I am extremely happy and will definitely buy from them again for my mom and sister. Thank you for a true and amazing product.

Love the bell of this stethoscope and I get compliments on it all the time. Sounds quality is good. I lost my last cardio 4 and had to buy a replacement since I wasn’t happy with any of the others. Overall good purchase even though it may be more expensive than a standard littman.

This stethoscope sounds amazing. My only complaint is the tubing length. I know it's considered "long" technically, but my old stethoscope (not a littmann) is about 2" longer. This one does not sit as comfortably around my neck. It is a very nice stethoscope and works wonderfully, though.

When I bought this, there weren’t a whole lot of reviews from paramedics so I thought I’d do one. I bought it as a new medic because quite frankly, the company-provided ones are trash. Throughout medic school the one thing I struggled with was respiratory and more importantly differentiating subtle lung sounds.Once I got this and started using it in the field, I was amazed. I wasn’t just grossly incompetent after all! Apparently I had just been using really crappy stethoscopes up until then because now I could actually hear real lung sounds and it made a huge difference in my field impressions and ultimately my treatment plans for my patients. It made me so much more confident as a provider.I’ve carried it every day at work for a while now and even as a senior medic, it still sounds amazing. Definitely would recommend, especially for new medics that struggle to hear lung sounds.
