Awesome

Really like it
The Navy color was a bit darker than it looks in the pictures (so take that into consideration when picking colors) but other than that I love the way it looks. As far as function is concerned, it is very comfortable to wear, the rubber is extremely soft and bendable, and the hammer is not as cold to touch as most stethoscopes. I have only used it on myself so far, I bought it for nursing school that starts in fall and we are in shelter in place now due to the pandemic, but the sound quality was great on myself.

The beat goes on....
Christmas gift and it was engraved. Colors are gorgeous. It is heavy if you wear it around your neck for awhile. Heart sounds are easier to hear compared to my older Littmann. Still practicing with lung sounds since it is different. Overall I am happy to have it.
