The Littmann Cardiology Stethoscope is said to be one of the best stethoscopes when It comes to acoustic sounds. Some people even claim it’s better than the Master Cardiology Stethoscope… That’s a bold statement! This Littmann is not light weighted like most, with that said it’s strong and durable. You can drop it, kick it around (although I wouldn’t suggest it) and it keeps on ticking. So, If you are or ever were worried about longevity, worry no more this is a piece that will last for years. One thing I would suggest purchasing is alternative and or replacement tubing. Some people have personal tastes of longer or shorter tubing so get what you fits best for you. If you’re a person that likes to hang your stethoscope around your neck then I would strongly suggest you get longer tubing
