Review on ADC 619BK Adscope Lite Stethoscope: Ultra Lightweight With Tunable AFD Technology - Black by Scott Kalinowski

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As good as their competitor

I spent maybe $150 on that expensive stethoscope they recommend you buy in the bookstore as a medical student. It was certainly a great stethoscope, did it's job, but unfortunately it was stolen during my residency training. I was miffed, so I never purchased a replacement and instead used the disposable stethoscopes. They served their function well, but the sound quality was definitely lacking.Here comes Walmart. Searched for stethoscope and found this one with great reviews. I tried to go as cheap as possible while being of good quality. After owning for a week, it's decently built, definitely of lower build quality than three competitor, but it costs five times less. Sound quality is good, very sufficient for my needs. I'm no cardiologist, so I only need to hear obvious heart murmurs and obviously poor lung sounds, and this fits the bill. As a plus, it also weighs less, you are not as mad if it gets stolen or misplaced.Medical students--save your money, get something under $50, there's no need to spend over a hundred on a stethoscope.

Pros
  • The stethoscope is designed to be compatible with a wide range of acoustic accessories, allowing for customization of sound transmission
Cons
  • Poor customer service for warranty claims
