Greater Goods Dual-Head Stethoscope for Nurses, Medical Students & EMTs

I love this company. This is my fourth product from them, and everything they make is absolutely outstanding. From the moment you open the package, the attention to detail and quality of this stethoscope are evident. The unit itself is sturdy, well-crafted, and feels professional. It’s single-tubed (many others are double-tubed) so this may not do as well in a super-busy, loud hospital setting. In a non-noisy environment, the single-tube approach helps cut down on the ambient noise floor, instead letting your ears focus on what they need to...your patient! The chestpiece has a plastic edge instead of a cold metal edge. How many times have we all cringed a little when that cold stethoscope first gets pressed onto our chest or back? That cringe is non-existent here, and there’s nothing but comfort while being examined.In my testing, I had no issues hearing heartbeats, breathing, blood flow, peristalsis, etc. The tips fit well in my ears, and it’s a tight enough fit to allow you to hear what you need to without feeling like your ears are being crushed. Both the tips and chest piece are removable for cleaning or replacement. (Pro tip: 70% isopropyl alcohol does the trick...)Two super cool things: 1) You buy this thing and you’re automatically a part of the Greater Goods “free parts for life” program. They’ll send you additional ear tips or chestpiece replacements for the life of your product. 2) With every purchase you make with Greater Goods, they donate money toward ending child sex trafficking, which is *awesome*.I may sound like a company plant writing this review, but I’m honestly not. I’m just a very impressed customer who is thrilled at the quality of the products these guys churn out time and time again. Their customer service is spot on, and their products are rock solid. Buy this stethoscope.

I tried another stethoscope here on Amazon (the Omron Sprague), the supposed gold standard, but it was just so bad that I had to return it (it was sold by Amazon, so this isn't a "counterfeit" problem). Also had to return an Omron BP monitor recently -- evidently some companies don't care about quality control once they've made a name for themselves. Well, fool me twice, shame on me. When I called their customer service dept, they even tried to tell me that I could not return it and that Amazon would reject the return -- wrong ...This stethoscope, on the other hand, is wonderful. Even though my head is fairly wide, the earpieces were snug but comfortable. The acoustics were excellent (I'm not a medical student or professional, so take for what it's worth). But for what I need it for, this is a very nice stethoscope and I can easily hear what I expect to hear.This is my second GreaterGoods purchase and I'm very happy with it (oddly enough, the last one was also a BP monitor). I haven't had to talk to customer support, so I can't talk to that, but I suppose that's the best customer support you can have -- where your products are so good, you don't need it.

Excellent product, expedited shipping. There's no way I was gonna pay for $180+ for a local Stethoscope. This was affordable and very comfortable on my ears when I wear them (biggest amenity I was prioritizing was comfort) I can hear well but I have to concentrate due to surrounding noise . Highly recommended.

Haven't used yet but it looks well built and as described. Not cheap or shoddy. For home use as we intend it- should work out very nicely.

I am not in the medical profession nor am I a medical student. I bought this to detect pneumonia as my wife is quite susceptible and if she gets it again I want to be able to detect it early. The only thing I have to compare is listening to audios on the Internet of recordings of heart and lungs through a stethoscope. Sounded identical to me. I'm not sure what advantages stethoscopes have that cost five times as much offer but this one seems to do a pretty good job. The tension on the ear buds is comfortable and they provide a perfect seal such that I couldn't understand my wife when she was talking to me while I was listening to her. Bear in mind that I am not a medical professional and this is the only stethoscope I've ever listened through but it seems sensitive enough to me. If you inadvertently tap on the diaphragm, it sounds like a cannon so it's certainly sensitive enough. Should work for a wide range of applications.

Good quality and can hear just as well as the more expensive brand

Just ok, hard to hear heart.

Being elderly and having some underlying health issues means that I'm not going to quite as many doctor's appointments nowadays as I normally would if there weren't a pandemic going on. So, I've invested a little in some medical devices for home use. I've got all I need to check temperature, blood pressure, EKG, Blood oxygen levels, and more. I thought that maybe having a stethoscope might be a good idea also. Saw several listed and found this one from Greater Goods. I've purchased other items from them and have been impressed by the quality and price. I also like the fact that this is company with a history of giving to charitable causes. That impressed me also. Money well spent.
