Great gift!
I was a professional paramedic for 28 years, and I have used a lot of sthescopes in my life, my last was a 3M Littman Master Cardiology. This scope seems like it's pretty well made, and though NOT a Littman, it allows me to hear pretty doggone well. For the price it's just unbeatable. I have a grandson in EMT class, and purchased this for him as a Christmas present. I was reflecting on some of the terrible stethescopes I'd used in my career, and my hope is that the kid won't have to deal with what I had to. Again this is NOT a Littman; but for around the same price as a cheap Sprague style device, it seems infinitely more durable, with superior sound. One more thing, just the very good Littman style soft ear tips alone, make the performance very good, and cost around $10 a pair, or roughly half of the price I paid for this, so it is a bargain. Time will tell. So far, so good.
