ADC Adscope 615 - Platinum Stethoscope - Navy

Very solid build quality and good acoustics comparable to Littmann in all terms. Recommended for the price. Really cheap as compared to the expensive ones.

Average

Sehr gute Akustik, für den Stationsalltag ausreichend (ITS)

Great craftsmanship, good length and soft flexibility of the pipe. I love the one sided chest piece as it stops the hassle of checking for correct position of which membrane is selected. I don't see any difference in quality in comparison to Lithmann.

Klasse Klang , top Preis-/Leistung

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.

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.
