Customer Reviews of Dual (Double) Head STETHOSCOPE (BLACK) - LATEX FREE

Customer Review: Great Value For The Money
Summary: 5 Stars

Like one of the other reviews states, there are no directions with this stethoscope. What you have to do is to turn the metal where the ear tube connect to the main part of the stethoscope. It will click when you turn it, which will direct the sound towards the ear pieces when you click it into one of the two positions. Just tap you finger on it and you will hear when it is in the correct position. I used it to take my Dad's blood pressure and it worked fine. I think you can spend twice or three times the money and end up with the same thing. If you want a really good one, I think you will be spending over ten times this price of $5.88. I have other things to spend my money on.

Customer Review: It's a cheap Stethoscope
Summary: 3 Stars

Uh it works. It picks up alot of ambient noise, which can be distracting. It's relatively rugged, throw it in your pack and leave it there. In short, it has a job, it does the job.

Customer Review: You need tough ears and good hearing
Summary: 2 Stars

The hospital gave us this to monitor our child. Because we are not experts, it takes us a while to find a pulse on an infant. Once we find it, most of the time the sound is poor and if our kid is moving, then it is nearly impossible to count pulses for more than 5 seconds; let alone if she's crying. On top of that, the pressure in your ears, from the plastic tips, is unbearable. It is really uncomfortable to use and poor sound quality.
We can still monitor our kid with it, (we've gotten better) but for $[...]we can make this a more pleasant experience, so I am buying another stethoscope and keeping this as a spare.

Customer Review: You get what you pay for...
Summary: 2 Stars

At first I could only hear out of one side but then I kept trying different things and reassembling it. And to make sure it wasn't just me or my ears, I had someone else take a listen and they encountered the same thing. So although the sound is kind of faint(you have to be really quiet to hear your heartbeat well), after reassembling it, it appears to be working fine in both ears now.

I guess for the price, I can't expect much more and it wouldn't be worth the shipping to return it. Like the old saying goes "you get what you pay for".
