Dual Head Stethoscope - Lavender

At this low price I was very skeptical but decided to try them anyhow. I was not disappointed. I just wanted something for my first aid kit because we live out in the boonies and I wanted to add this to my assessment kit, to help decide when it is time to make the long trek to a medical facility. I don’t think you are going to find a medical professional using these in most circumstances, but for the layperson who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money they will probably suit your needs. Mine came in a box, packaged in zip bags and needed assembly. It is pretty intuitive, but there were no instructions so if there were any little tricks to be missed, I probably missed them. Also, the description says there are extra ear pieces so you can choose the ones that best fit your ear canal but mine had none of these and I would not describe them as comfortable because the plastic is rather hard. I messed with them a bit, pulling the plastic closer to the end of the tubes and that helped a bit. Also, the metal part comes flat and you need to know that you should twist them into the V-shape so they go into the ear canal properly. They must be adjusted properly for comfort and effectiveness. Also, as mentioned in other reviews, the diaphragm is the type that twists, so if you can’t hear anything flip it around until it clicks; one direction gives good sound and the other doesn’t. It flips so you can using either the small side or the large one but must be in the correct position for the one you are using for good results. Quick tip: If you’ve never used a stethoscope before, do yourself a favor and check out some you tube vids. There are some good ones that will tell you how to adjust it for your use and go over the basics of placement points and how the “patient” should breath, etc. There are a few basics you can learn in around 10 minutes that will greatly improve your experience with this tool. So, at this price it is a great value, cheap enough to give kids a real working tool for their first doctor kit, and I think most people who want this kind of extra for their home medical kit would find it satisfactory as well. And I’m guessing the people who say it doesn’t work are people who don’t know how to properly adjust and use the tool.

Love it and get my use

Didn't work. Couldn't even hear heartbeat. They also won't let me return it.

I bought this as a toy for my daughter. It’s pretty, you just need to assemble it. Sound quality is pretty good, you just need to turn the diaphragm so the hole is closed for better sound. The smaller side doesn’t really work. Overall, great for kids play but not for actual hospitals.

This is not a super high quality stethoscope, but at the price I paid, I did not expect it to be. It works fairly well and it is very light weight. I actually bought it for my daughter to play with when she's playing with her doctor toys, but I have to be careful to help her use it because it is very loud whenever something bumps the diaphragm part. I'm concerned that just accidentally hitting that end against a hard surface while the ear pieces are in her ears could damage her hearing. Obviously, yelling into it could damage hearing. I think this could be used by a healthcare professional, but I'm quite sure that there are better functioning models available. I give it a full five stars because it does what it says it will do, and at the very affordable price, I think it's a good value.

Moderate quality worked good for my little of puppies but for the price it was worth it

My niece loves this! When she comes to visit, she always plays with my nursing stethoscope. This is great for her to play with still can hear a heartbeat and breathing and it’s good for her to learn.

When you have an aspiring little veterinarian or doctor getting them a stethoscope is absolute must or otherwise you will never hear the end of it :) I set to amazon to get some toy that would allow some serious pretend play with Mom and Dad and stuffed toys or the house pets to pretend to listen to "patient's hearts". I was surprised that this truly budget priced stethoscope actually works SO BEAUTIFULLY! I was expecting something that will only look close to real stethoscope but it works like a professional one! We all tried it many times and we could hear the heart beats loud and clear! Very very happy with the purchase. I can't even count how many playdate kids who came over to had fun with listening to our very patient dogs heart beats. ABSOLUTELY love it!

Very good item, received safely - recommend seller

Doesnt work. Like at all!. I guess you get what you pay for

Absolute garbage. Components are low quality, it’s painful to wear, and you can barely hear anything. Not recommended for clinical use.

used to heart heart beat in eggs in the in the incubater

I purchased the Ever Ready First Aid Dual Head Stethoscope in royal blue, and for the price, it's a solid option. While it only slightly amplifies sound compared to higher-end models, it still serves its purpose well for basic use. The sound quality is decent enough for general listening, and it’s certainly a good choice if you're looking for an affordable stethoscope. The build is sturdy, and the royal blue color looks great. It's lightweight and comfortable to wear for extended periods. While it may not have all the features of more expensive stethoscopes, it provides good value for money, especially for someone who doesn't need heavy-duty sound amplification. Overall, it's a reliable and budget-friendly choice for everyday use. If you're not looking to spend a lot but still want something functional, I would recommend this stethoscope.
