“Should have purchased many years ago. Don't think I have ever heard as much as I have since starting to use my Eko 500. Numerous physicians have tried and are amazed at what they hear versus conventional stethoscope. Auto record has documented information for transmission and physician review improving treatment.”

“This stethoscope is well worth the money!! I can hear SO MUCH MORE CLEARLY than I can with my old stethoscope. The ECG monitoring on the screen is neat and helpful! I particularly like the fact that I can switch between listening to heart and lung sounds separately or just listening to the "wide" mode. If you are in the healthcare field, I highly recommend investing in this stethoscope because it will be the last one you will ever need!”

“Best sound quality of any stethoscope I’ve used, and I’ve used many good ones (including others with electronic sound amplification). The ability to detach it from the tubing and listen wirelessly while also getting an initial cardiac rhythm has transformed my EMS practice. It is so easy to carry this in my pocket compared to my old stethoscope). Being able to play recordings back for MDs and attach them to PCRs is something I’m just starting to do.”

“Has a nice heft to it but not much different in size/feel from a higher end Littman. The head of the stethescope can be used independently without the tube or earpieces attached by streaming to any paired Bluetooth earbuds through the Eko app. Makes carrying this thing around very easy, but the sound quality is indeed significantly better with the tube and earpieces. The screen brightness is adjustable and text is easily readable with decent resolution. EKG obviously doesn't work through clothing and requires physical contact to skin, but for simple auscultation, the Core 500 can easily pick up and amplify sound through thin clothing like a shirt of hospital gown. In terms of the 3-lead capability of the Core 500, it's best when used in conjunction with the app, as the built-in screen only shows 1 lead but it does the job if you're just looking for a quick reference of whether the PT is in sinus or not. The app has some pretty nifty functions like specific focused exams and can detect murmurs and other arrhythmia. Overall, the Core 500 is the real deal. Although the practicality of the EKG capability in the clinical setting can be questionable due to the ready availability of tele boxes and 12-lead machines, having the ability to do 3-lead at home on myself or family without having to go to a clinic or hospital is invaluable for me personally. Some areas of improvement that I could think of would be to make the tube just a tad bit thinner and less rigid to make it easier to store in a holster. Other than that, the Core 500 is in my opinion, currently the apex of high-end stethoscopes. It's expensive for sure, but I find the price quite fair considering that now I have EKG capability wherever I go with this thing. If EKG capability isn't important to you, the Core 500 may not necessarily be worth the price if all you're after is a quality auscultation device.”
