ADCAdscope 615 Platinum Sculpted Clinician Stethoscope with Tunable AFD Technology, Tactical

Great stethoscope for the money. I replaced my missing Master Cardiology with it and it performs fine for my purposes. Recommend highly

I like that you don't hear a bunch of noises due to being one sided

I may not be an expert on these devices. I can only go by my personal experience and while I have a Littmann, I had better experiences using the equipment at school. I originally wanted to get a Erka stethoscope made in Germany, but you can't buy one for whatever reason. Thankfully, I found the ADC Adscope 615 series, which uses a similar design as the Erka. The ADC produces the kinds of audibles I have heard on the professional equipment at school. I highly recommend this stethoscope, as your field of hearing is more generalized and open to hear more sound. In other words, I find it easier to take manual blood pressures with this stethoscope over other manufactures. The difference in price should be noted as well, with the ADC being around $40 cheaper than the Littmann. The package does not come with a carrying case, which is a little disappointing. Even so, this has been one of my favorite purchases on the medical equipment side. Very happy to have the ADC 615.

se ecnucha muy bien pero las olivas no son de buena calidad

I’ve already reviewed this stethy in a different color, but I purchased this for my friend as a gift because I love mine so much. I mainly use it for BPs and HRs but I can hear better than any Littman I’ve ever had. It’s also super durable I don’t feel like it’s a piece of junk around my neck. It’s weighty but not too heavy and comfortable to wear all day. I’ll be buying one for my daughter when she starts nursing school soon!

I am a med student currently in my clinical rotations like all others I was in a dilemma whether to buy Litman or the never heard brand ADC. I spent about 2 days trying to find out the best stethoscope possible. After detailed reviews, I thought I should go for the branded Litman and it was costing me around 120$. Then my friend and most other people even suggested Litman. I have to tell you honestly if you want to get Litman get the top cardiology one don't waste your 120$ for something which is not very worthy I feel. But if you are med student and you are on a budget and want to get the top cardiology Litman mimic then get ADC Adoscpe 615 platinum. I have to tell you this one almost resembles the Litman cardiology and it just beats Litman classic-3. I believe this is just the right product for any med student who's in their rotation and when I received the product I felt its quite durable as well. I hope I don't have to get another one until I finish my residency. Litman's classic series is just a brand I feel. Its like BENZ there are basic and top-end models. people who ride the basic model they don't know why they are spending so much still they are buying it just for the brand. Please don't fall into the trap and not all branded products have great quality and vice-versa. This is my opinion because I have spent an ample amount of time comparing and used Litman products in hand. I would highly recommend hands down.

Normally a Littmann nurse this is my first time going off brand and I’m very pleased .. the sound quality is amazing and I love the color

I am an emergency physician. I use my stethoscope every day of my working life. For years I used a 3M Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope, Black Plated Chestpiece and Eartubes, Black Tube, 27 inch, 2161 (currently over $200). A year ago I picked up this ADC Adscope 615, and since then this has become the only stethoscope I bring to work. The longer tubing helps avoid bending over and saves my back. The elongated chest piece handles very nicely. Critically for me, it is light around the neck. Much much lighter than the Littman. It's quite possible that a technical acoustic assessment would find differences between the Littman (with it's thicker, shorter tubing, and heavier and more expensive chest piece) and the 615. However, for the scope of my work in the Emergency Department there are no differences which impact my clinical performance whatsoever. Even cardiologists these days rely far more on echocardiograms and do not make definitive diagnoses of murmurs by auscultation alone, so I really wonder if there are any physicians for whom there is an appreciable difference in performance. At under $50, with the longer tubing, the lighter carrying weight around the neck or in the coat pocket, and the excellent acoustics, this is a great choice for any physician, PA, NP, nurse, paramedic, EMT or medical student. The price tag definitely takes the sting out of losing one of these, which happens every few years.
