Review: Impressive Clarity & Great for Everyday Use - I’ve been using the Core 500 Digital Stethoscope for a little while now, and it has definitely exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is incredibly clear—far better than my traditional stethoscope. Being able to amplify heart and lung sounds makes assessments faster and more accurate, especially in noisy environments. The digital display is simple and intuitive, and the overall build feels solid and professional. I really appreciate the ability to replay sounds; it’s a game changer when double-checking findings or discussing cases with coworkers. Battery life has held up well, and it charges quickly. If you’re looking to upgrade or want a reliable stethoscope that gives you an edge with digital features, the Core 500 is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend for EMS, nursing, and medical professionals who want the best tools possible.
Review: Best stethoscope on the market! - Absolutely love this stethoscope. I cannot recommend it any higher! I’ve been in the medical field for 25+ years, and I’ve always had difficulty hearing with a stethoscope to discern the various lung sounds and heart murmurs. This stethoscope muffles out any environmental noise and allows me to hear with such precision, that I can hear the tiniest, faint crackle or wheeze. Every coworker that’s expressed interest in it, I’ve handed it to them told them to go use it on a patient, and they come back in awe. It is well worth the price, in buying it through desertcart you can do longer payment plans if it’s not in the budget as a solid payment. I highly recommend it. I rarely use the Eko app, but the ability to record the EKG tracing in real time is amazing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty amazing stuff
*by J***G on June 5, 2024*

This stethoscope is amazing. The sound quality and clarity on the cardiac and wide modes are phenomenal. I don't love the pulmonary mode though because it picks up too much extra noise caused by the stethoscope rubbing up against the skin as the patient is taking big deep breaths. I've also used the app which is pretty cool. Being able to record the exam, as well as have it play on speakerphone in real time to let the patient near too, is something else. The chestpiece has a button at the top that allows you to instantly record the exam, which is saved into the app. One thing I wish they could do is to allow multiple back to back recordings. Currently, after each recording, you have to go into the app and fill in all the details (e.g., position, location) and save before being able to make another recording. The chestpiece battery duration is impressive. I noticed that when not in use, it turns off automatically to save battery. It also disconnects from bluetooth on the phone when this happens. However, once I woke up the chest piece by pressing the top button, it reconnected to my phone's bluetooth with barely any delay. It also did not have to reboot every time the chest piece was woken up. It's these little time savers that make a big difference because having to take extra steps collectively becomes time consuming. I bought the case from Eko separately. It holds the stethoscope very well. it's pretty big though. But it's a good size to fit my stethoscope as well as my otoscope. I could probably fit my blood pressure cuff in there if I wanted to. Overall great product. Patients found it interesting as well.
