A beautiful device and is a definite must have. This is my third Eko stethoscope. The Eko duo was first and I was impressed with the function, but it broke twice and was replaced via outstanding customer service, but I used the Littman core daily and saved the duo its wear and tear. The core 500 is a beast and I hope to get many years of use. If you’re on the fence, this is the one!

Great scope excellent noise cancellation. The EKG readings very useful. My only critique would be l with the reading would stay available on the scope head so l could turn it and show to patients instead of using my phone. Would be great to have a connection to Apple Watch that would be convenient. I wear hearing aids so very helpful but ear pieces work well in my ears. Highly recommend

In a busy ER, the noise canceling is awesome! I appreciate nearly every feature because I feel more confident in my assessments.

Had to return first order because the sthetesope had a defect, the replacement that was given to me, so far works well and love that it shows the heart rate as well as a rhythm.

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.
