“I am very much enjoying the new Core 500 stethoscope — much better than my old Eko which was annoying because it would start to unscrew and then all I could hear was that. I’m actually using it wirelessly without the stethoscope tubing. I am using a compact Bluetooth transmitter which is paired to my Samsung earbuds and I find this is easier than opening the Eko app on my phone anytime I want to use it wirelessly. I like the maneuverability of using just the stethoscope head and not being tethered by the tubing, especially as a pediatrician because my patients tend to try to grab my stethoscope (or drool on it). The sound quality is excellent and the HR and ECG tracing is a little gimmicky but nice to have! I find the mechanism to turn the stethoscope off is a little tricky because it’s not easy to do it one-handed. I don’t think this would be an issue if I was using it with the tubing as it would turn itself off after a little while but with my set up I would still hear it rolling around in my coat pocket as I keep one earbud in. Overall I’m really happy with the stethoscope!”

“I have hearing loss in my right ear due to years of working in the phone company. This stethoscope and the previous version of Echo make all the difference. I hear what my colleagues miss with their standard stethoscopes. Picking up on crackles early means faster treatment. I am happy I purchased it, I have my colleagues try it out, and I recommend it to all my colleagues.”

“I thought when I ordered the Eko Core 500 it would be extremely heavy. It is not, it is so lightweight and so easy to use. To be able to listen to heart sounds and breath sounds in the context of listening through the Core 500 is amazing. Words can't describe how amazing the sound quality is and to have the ability to see an EKG is fantastic. I heard expiratory wheezes that could not be heard on a regular stethoscope. This was well worth the purchase!”

“EKO 500 is much more than the advertising shows. It is much more beautiful, and the detection of rhythms is spot on. I work in an area where support for NPs is quite limited, with my EKO 500 I feel at ease.”

“The stethoscope is worth every penny! This is my second Eko device and the difference is unbelievable. I didn’t think you could improve on the previous one, but this far surpasses its predecessor. The built-in amplification in the air pieces is such a nice surprise and the ability to differentiate between cardiac and pulmonary. sounds with Samir click of a button is great the quick rhythm analysis display is like having a little EKG at my hands. I’m able to analyze the rhythm to determine if an EKG is indicated and to be able to save it for future reference and attaching to the patient chart is a great feature, highly recommend the stethoscope for any provider”

“So, to be honest, this thing is next level amazing. I really did not have time to read the literature, but if what I am seeing/observing is correct, when a patient has an irregular rhythm, it starts an immediate ecg on the stethascope. Otherwise, I do not know why it is doing that. It's already paid for itself within a week of me having it. I am a brand new RN, and I'm telling you minor quirks aside because I have not had time to fully read, this is just unbelievably amazing as far as a stethascope is concerned. I have a Littman Cardiology IV, and for the price, it's not THAT much more to pay for a great stethascope. Only time will tell how durable it is. My only regret is I should have gotten my name engraved. I would send it back to be done, but I do not think I can live without this. I work on medical surgical and the majority of my patients are on telemetry. It's very worth, but don't do like I did, fully read all the literature so you know how it works, it is quite comprehensive and sometimes a little quirky. The backorder wait was worth it.”
