Review on Tunable AFD Technology ADC Adscope 615 Platinum Tactical Sculpted Clinician Stethoscope by James Mangum

A little too heavy for me

I've been in In EMS since 2010 and for those of you who are in emergency services especially already know that your stuff including stethoscope will just up and walk away! So with that being said, I tend to keep my stethoscope around my neck during shift that way I limit the chances of it happening! The packaging came in great condition and fast with my ebay prime! I picked the purple but was a little darker in person and could slightly be mistaken for a dark navy if u aren't looking at it like that. I would absolutely agree that the EAR BUDS are HORRIBLE! I thought I would use them for awhile and then replace with Littman one! Ha! Yeah u can't use them especially if your like me and are use to Littman ones! The ones that come with it are super thin, uncomfortable and will tear and possibly crumble! Lol Now the acoustics are great! I can see know why ppl buy this instead of th classic II but for me, the diaphragm is extremely heavy! It pulled my uniform down all day! Now some of u are probably like, why not take it off! Well when u work in Extremely busy cities and have had things taken before time after time then you wouldn't take it off either! Plus it's a habit for me! It definitely comes in handy when I am running a code or something else that will keep my attention occupied and don't leave anything on scene because the last thing I'm worrying about is a stethoscope! Lol I returned this and it was super easy to do! So now I'm back to using either by Littman lightweight or classic II on the truck! Overall I did it because of the weight of the stethoscope! It's definitely heavier than the lightweight and close to what the classic II is but the main difference is how the weight is evenly distributed on the Littman vs this one! If the weight was more evenly distributed then I would definitely own this one! Give it a try! It may work for you better than it did for me but also make sure you include a set of Littman ear buds! Lol

Great stethoscope to check blood pressure manually. I use it everyday at work and it works great. I love the color options, too. Clear sound and lightweight.
