Classic III Stethoscope
I purchased this stethoscope for my daughter who is in her second semester of nursing school and she absolutely loves it! She said she can hear everything extremely clear & loud. She likes it so much she told all her friends about it, as well as purchased one for a gift for a friend of hers in her cohort & they all equally love it as well! Very satisfied with the purchase, delivery, and product itself. We will definitely be coming back to this site in the future !

For a future PA
Given as a gift. She thought it was perfect and what she has wanted. A lot of the other students use this model. She said it is too good for some of her current patients (non-injured athletes).

FAQ: Littmann Classic III
How do you use a Littmann Classic III stethoscope?
To use the Littmann Classic III, place the eartips in your ears with the tips angled forward toward your nose. Position the chestpiece directly on the patient's skin whenever possible. Use the larger diaphragm side for adult patients and the smaller side for pediatric patients or smaller assessment areas. Apply light pressure to hear low-frequency sounds and firmer pressure to hear higher-frequency sounds, thanks to Littmann's tunable diaphragm technology.
How much is a Littmann Classic III stethoscope?
The Littmann Classic III stethoscope typically starts around $99.99, with pricing varying by tubing color, chestpiece finish, limited-edition style, and engraving options. Current Classic III styles include standard and satin tube options, with many models eligible for same-day engraving and shipping.
Is the Littmann Classic III good for nursing students?
Yes. The Littmann Classic III is a strong choice for nursing students because it is lightweight, durable, versatile, and designed for routine assessment of adult and pediatric patients. It is often recommended as an everyday clinical stethoscope for students, nurses, general practitioners, EMTs, and other healthcare professionals. Check out our Stethoscope Selector to find the best stethoscopes by profession.
Will Classic II tubing fit on a Classic III Littmann?
It depends on the exact replacement part. Some aftermarket or compatible binaural assemblies are listed for both Classic II S.E. and Classic III models, but older Classic II models without the "S.E." designation may not accept the same parts. The safest option is to use our Littmann Parts Finder or browse our Littmann Spare Parts specifically listed for the Classic III.
What is the difference between the Littmann Classic II and Classic III?
The Littmann Classic III is the newer, more versatile model. Compared with many Classic II versions, the Classic III offers updated tubing, a two-sided chestpiece, tunable diaphragm technology, and a pediatric side that can convert to an open bell. The Classic III is generally the better choice for students and clinicians who want one everyday stethoscope for both adult and pediatric assessments.
