First let me say that this is NOT a cardiology stethoscope. It's more on par with the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/3M-Littmann-Lightweight-11-SE-Stethoscope-28-Black-L2450/dp/B001CCINO0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">3M Littmann Lightweight 11 SE Stethoscope, 28", Black, #L2450</a>&nbsp;and is probably best used for general assessments. That being said, the ear tips are really comfortable, the weight is AWESOME (I forget I'm wearing it sometimes) and it has nice non-chill rims on it for patient comfort. I've used this scope in my nursing school labs and have had really good results with it. ANother thing I like about it is that I don't hear the joints in my fingers creaking like I do in some of the other lightweight scopes I've tried, so that's a plus. And honestly, for the price, you can't say no!
