Definitely worth the price. This stethoscope is of good quality and is a nice addition to any nurse or student nurse’s equipment bag. It is definitely durable and ear piece are comfortable and allows me to ease of comfort when using it in the clinical setting.

I recently started using the FriCARE Lightweight Stethoscope, and it's been a fantastic tool for both my nursing studies and practical use. This stethoscope, designed specifically for nurses and medical students, delivers impressive performance without weighing you down.One day during a busy clinic rotation, I was grateful for how light and comfortable this stethoscope felt around my neck. The clarity of sound allowed me to hear every heartbeat and lung sound with precision, which was crucial during patient assessments. The lightweight design made it easy to carry around all day, making it a reliable companion through long shifts.The durable build and clear acoustic quality have made it an essential part of my medical toolkit. Whether you're a nursing student or a seasoned professional, the FriCARE stethoscope combines functionality with comfort, ensuring you can focus on providing the best care without any distractions. For anyone in the medical field looking for a dependable and ergonomic stethoscope, this one is definitely worth considering.

I think it is a good product, good value for the price. However, you have to use it correctly or you may think it doesn't work. I saw some reviews saying it didn't work, but I suspect they were not using it correctly. I also heard nothing when I first tried it, but then realized that the ear pieces are angled for a reason, to channel the sound into your ear canals. If you put it on reverse (wrong angle) then sound does not get directed in to your ears. The other thing is, that the amount of pressure you apply on the sound sensor end is important. Placed on center of heart and pressed in, I could hear nothing, but when I used less pressure against my skin, just lightly touching, it worked, and it was sort of a fine line about the optimal pressure. The instruction booklet shows 4 locations to measure around your heart, and I found that those 4 locations work a lot better than just centering the sensor where I thought would be the center of my heart. In the correct 4 locations, the sound was stronger and the pressure applied to the sensor and skin contact was less critical. I don't know how it compares to a more expensive product since I have not had a chance to try another variety. With no medical training, don't know if what I am hearing is good or not, but it compares well with the sounds I found on an internet site for what a heart should sound like. Also note that I am a senior citizen, so my hearing is probably not as good as a typical younger person. Noting that, I never could hear anything down in the crook of my arm at the elbow. I have no idea what you should hear there, but I never heard anything that way, and I don't have a lot of body fat to obscure the sound, so it is probably a lack of technique, or older ears for that measurement. Overall, I would recommend this product as adequate for a home user who is curious to hear their heart sounds. I will leave it to the professionals to compare with more expensive products.

Affordable and lightweight!

Sturdy frame. Flexible tubing.Beautiful rose gold metal with off white tubing.

Happy with it, I can hear well. I use it to check my pets heart condition, confirm death if one has passed...

I got sick of other nurses stealing my Littmans. Yes LittmanS! I kept replacing them for work (medsurg nurse). I wanted something that if stolen, wouldn’t keep costing money but do the job. I read reviews and thought let me give this a shot. Hey can always return it. You won’t!! Impressive right out of the box. I got the crazy light blue color on purpose.It is a nice construction. The extra included pieces are nice to have. I put the steth around my neck and walked the halls of the hospital. What is that noise I keep hearing? OMG the steth is picking up hall sounds and amplifying them through the ear pieces. I know right? Stinking crazy!! I never experienced that with any of my many Littmans.My issues with the steth are two fold. It is clunky as all get out. I can’t think of a nice way to put it. The bell is so heavy you can use it to knock a would be carjacker out. Then you can use the steth to check his vitals. Don’t hit yourself with it!Number two is the product used for the tubing. Hey it’s great, feels nice and antimicrobial. Ok but when you sling the steth around your neck, it slides off the bell side. It does it in a sneaky way. You never feel it. I have caught the steth falling or about to from my neck. I can’t figure how to solve this problem.You walk in a room, do something for the client and you have to put the steth down or it’s going off the neck. Never fails!That being said GET IT!! Get it!! This steth is heaven sent, I just wish the head wasn’t so clunky. They should make one with a plastic head, but changing the design would probably take from the acoustics. If coworkers steal it? Well at least you know they are giving good care with the steth and we all win!
