Beautiful!
Style: Satin Finish Tube Color: Alabaster Tube Black-Finish Chestpiece
Littmann is the only brand of stethoscope I will ever use! I went with the satin because the standard finish irritates my skin when I hang it around my neck during my shift. Both the finish and color are unique and beautiful! Also, the sound quality is amazing! The best Littmann I’ve ever used!

Excellent audio quality and lightweight
Style: Satin Finish Tube Color: Alabaster Tube Black-Finish Chestpiece
This brand is excellent and provides high-quality audio. I selected this off-white color because it appears delicate and sophisticated. I recommend the 3M Littmann brand; it offers good value for the price, is user-friendly, and is lightweight.

Stethoscope
Style: Satin Finish Tube Color: Alabaster Tube Black-Finish Chestpiece
Love this stethoscope! Use daily at work. Great quality, can hear heart/lungs well! One down side is white / cream color gets stained from hanging it on side of computer, so I have black marks.

Does not cling to hair
Style: Satin Finish Tube Color: Alabaster Tube Black-Finish Chestpiece
I love my cardiology IV stethoscope! The satin finish is fantastic, doesn’t catch onto my hair and is much easier to bend. The tubing does feel a little fake/flimsy since it is so light, but the sound is still great!
