THE BEST SCOPE IVE TRIED!!!
As a nurse, as we are ALL well aware, our stethoscope is arguably our most IMPORTANT tool when conducting physical assessments and focused assessments (aside from our intuition, of course). And it’s super important to have a reliable stethoscope that you enjoy using within your arsenal! I’m going to apologize for the winded review, but I have a lot of things to say so please bear with me.Throughout nursing school I used an MDF Acoustica. It was cute, pink, lightweight and easy on the wallet at the time. The only problem? It was SO hard for me to hear clearly. I’m young and definitely not hard of hearing but I think it just wasn’t geared well enough to isolate what I needed to hear. Manual BPs??? Couldn’t hear anything. I graduated and began using an MDF Classic Cardiology which has awesome acoustics but it’s SO HEAVY! It couldn’t stay around my neck for the LIFE of me and was always falling off my shoulder and I was just so tired of being so conscientious about it and having to maneuver weird ways with it on and whatever. It was also expensive (like $170!!!) and I was kind of bummed, you know? I didn’t want to sacrifice my ability to hear things clearly so I did some research. Knew I wasn’t going to go for a Littmann Classic because I’ve used the Classic II and Classic III and was underwhelmed with their performance. I’ve used their Cardiology III as well and I honestly have to say that this Bjorn Hall Stethoscope has THE BEST acoustics for the price point. The sounds aren’t muffled and I’m able to differentiate whatever ambient noise I hear (if I happen to hear it at all) from what my patient’s noises are. Performs just as well as the Littmann Cardiology in my opinion and BETTER than the Classic model. And again, for the price and what comes with the scope you can’t beat it!Thank you Nurse Jenny and Bjorn Hall for making this wonderful scope! Please never ever stop making them! I’m going to have one for the rest of my career!

Best stethoscope I have ever used
I have had several different stethoscopes, all a certain L brand, and have never been super stoked by any of them. When I was, yet again, shopping for a new stethoscope I found a video here on Amazon reviewing stethoscopes. One of the scopes talked about was the Bjorn Hall. Based on the video and reviews I decided to get it and let me tell you— I LOVE it! The length is about two inches longer than my last scope and I really like that since I hate being up in my patient’s faces. The sound quality is SO clear. Love that it comes with a second set of diaphragms, three more sets of ear tips (small, medium, and large) in addition the the medium tips already on the scope, the little parts carrying case is awesome too, and all for $99. The stethoscope will come with kinks in the tubing. Do not fret my pet, just follow the video by Bjorn Hall on how to straighten the tubing and you will be good to go. It is a very light weight stethoscope but don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s cheap. The quality is there for sure.I do wish it came in colors other than black or white but that’s not a deal breaker for me in the least.

Excellent Stethoscope!
This stethoscope is one of the best I have ever used! The sound is crisp, and clear! The chestpiece is lightweight, but heavy enough to hang around neck without moving too much. The tactical black looks awesome, and does not chip like some steths with coated metal. The ear pieces are comfortable and provide a good seal, helping to block out external noises. I waited to use at work before leaving my review to be fair. I almost didn't buy because one review claimed all Bjorn Halls positive reviews are fake, I can tell you that's 100% not true after using it myself. I would say if you have trouble hearing out of this scope, you may need to get your ears cleaned, lol. No but seriously, you can adjust the ear pieces. I use the ones that were already attached and sound is amazing. So glad I didn't buy that other popular "L" brand! Customer service is excellent and they offer a money back guarantee, a 2 year warranty, and the scope comes with extra ear pieces and diaphragms. I absolutely love this steth!

Stylish, but functionally flawed
Update: I've now been using this stethoscope regularly for about 8 months and I have to say it has been very frustrating. Often times I can't hear anything out of one ear (sometimes both) and have to spend a considerable amount of time twisting the two ear pieces around to fix the issue. This is very impractical in the clinical setting. I noticed this issue when I first purchased it, but it seemed easy enough to adjust quickly, however it's gotten significantly worse and now I consider this stethoscope to be practically useless. It's very stylish and I really did want to love it, but now that I have to use a stethoscope every day, I realize I need something far more reliable.Original Review: This stethoscope is beautiful to look at and comfortable to use. The tubing has a wonderful, non-rubbery texture that doesn’t snag at the back of the neck, which I greatly appreciate. It is very lightweight, however I was happy to find that the diaphragm has a solid heft to it that makes it feel quality. And of course the acoustics are nice and clear; can’t ask for more!

I like it, but I dont
I loved the sleek look, quality, price, and packaging I saw online when researching this company and stethoscope. And the 1st few shifts, I loved using it. But now, it's so-so. The sound is great and I love the different sized ear pieces you get. But the carrying case is so stiff you can't use it and I didn't get the cute little case for the ear pieces either, they were just in a little plastic bag. I emailed the company to make sure I didn't just buy a dupe on Amazon. The company was nice and said they don't include those now and the packaging has also been scaled back,. It's supposed be a black matte finish on the tubing so it doesn't slide on your neck but mine is kind of a shiny black and slides off my neck more than the Adscope or Littmann do. So yes it is a good product and yes it does work, but what I got is not what I was hoping for. But it is worth the price you pay...so I like it, but I don't 🤷♀️
