Ali, I'm not a doctor but I don't think I've ever seen a doctor with a basic Classic. I agree with That Medic, obesity AND through the gown if for no other reason, I mean, how much time do you want to spend auscultating with your 15 minutes portal to portal? So in that sense it WILL make you a better doctor.
It's funny how the Littman Cardiology IV is the standard stethoscope, even for med students, here where I live, and yet it's like the Porsche among stethoscopes
I just got that one a few days ago (not yet arrived) but yea, it was pretty much between this and the classic 3, i chose the fancy one because my doctor (for Studies) sait that price here doed relate to sound really but she still uses the one she got at uni so maybe invest a bit. (And really, its expensive anyways so why not, and it has so many designs to make it more personal, i got an all black with a purple stem)
I've had the litmann cardiology III stethoscope since medical school and it's definitely worth the purchase, agree that it's not worth upgrading if you already have one though.
Brother Ali, Cardiology IV is louder as it has double tube.Classic SE II is a Single tube stethoscope. I have extensively used Classic SE II and Cardiology III. 5 years back I started using Cardiology III which is the older model of Cardiology IV. I have been thinking of buying Cardiology IV in near future. Both Stethoscope provide excellent acoustic fidelity and high SNR (Signal Noise Ratio).

You neglected to mention that both sides of the chest piece can be used as both a diaphragm and bell. You can adjust the frequency by changing the pressure. High pressure=high frequency and the inverse is also true. The bell is great for pediatric patients as well as well as stuff like listening to the korotkof sounds. I love mine so much. Before that I also had a classic ii and the reason I upgraded was because I was working with a lot of dementia patients and when theres a lot of screaming it helps to have good sound.
Hi boss. I have the cardiology 4 and you mentioned korotkoff sounds. When taking a blood pressure, which bell do you use and how much pressure do you apply? Cheers!
I bought my Cardiology IV last year, since my 20 year old C-II was pretty much fossilized. When I opened the box, my reaction to the manual was the same as yours. Poof- over the shoulder. Thanks for the laugh!!
I think they are worth the upgrade Ali. Ur residents and senior doctors notice you, you become more confident about the sound and u don't need to wonder of maybe there was, maybe there wasn't. Think that makes it worth it...
I just bought exactly the same, i thought yours was black until i saw close, and then watch the #6169 on the box. Caribean blue w/mirror best choice in my opinion. salutes
This is precisely what happened to me, every time in I'd left my Cardio III somewhere in the last 20 years it came back to me, not this time. Got a deal on Ebay for a new IV.
Hey Ali , In one of your video you said that listening music between your study period can interfere in with memory... Can you elaborate on this topic... Plus, what should be the alternative
i think what would have been cool for this video would have been to try to use your "should i buy this object" framework applied to this piece of medical equipment, so we can see it being used in this ~other context~
Being in the back of an ambulance it’s hard to hear lung sounds on a patient a with standard stethoscopes, so now I’m considering buying my own cardiology iv stethoscope to see what the hype is about
Why would you need a cardiology 4 for listening to just heart beats? they are for more complicated stuff which can be easily auscultated by classic 3 as well.
Ali, I just saw you last instagram’s posts and i noticed that you went to France. Why didn’t you came to see me in Lyon, I would have loved it. Shame on you 🤣. I’ m joking of course but that would have been cool. By the way, your videos are absolutely lit and I’ m glad to be a bilingual guy because if I had not been bilingual I would have never discovered you ! So thanks Mum and Dad !!
I just dropped $200 on a MDF titanium stethoscope 🩺 for a gift 😳 only way to get the color 😂... ohhh well I spend more in tools and gadgets... this is a tool for you professionals so spend the $$$ for your profession. Plus MDF is LIFETIME WARRANTY!!!
Just wondering as I’ve seen pics on Instagram. On the bell, does the littman signs attach from each side of the bell? Pics I’ve seen looks like it detaches, I feel I’m not hearing clearly. Not sure if it’s technique or the circle needs to be removed 🤷🏽♂️
"Hey guys, welcome back to my channel, if you're new here.." No I am not!, I've been here for 8 hours, watching all the videos, and now i think i need an ipad.
Don’t like Medisave sp services is much more better (Edit). Turns out Medisave is still good getting a Littmann classic lll in dark olive and black, getting my name ingraved in it as well
Secondly , I am trying hard to enhance my writing skills. Do you know any technique , evidence from research paper or anything that can help in this endeavor.
If these stethoscopes are more sensitive and better at transferring sounds, is it possible that another internal organ or the patient's phone may have done the vibration but the vibration is mistaken to be of the heart? Not a medical person just asking.
There is only one person on RUclips that will make a stethoscope review and make it a fun video to watch! Cheers man 😂😂❤️

9292O98 Yeah true hahaha but IMO the classic 3 should be more than enough for medical school.
Loool, where do you study?
I just got that one a few days ago (not yet arrived) but yea, it was pretty much between this and the classic 3, i chose the fancy one because my doctor (for Studies) sait that price here doed relate to sound really but she still uses the one she got at uni so maybe invest a bit.

@@JustMe-12345 how do you like it so far
lol for a med student ? Those disposale one should be fine for them... you hear shit anyway...
When I'm in my study break and I receive an Ali Abdaal video notification I know what I got to do.
why watch pewdiepies meme review when you could watch a stethoscope review
I never realised that there can be a stethoscope rewiew.
😂
I've had the litmann cardiology III stethoscope since medical school and it's definitely worth the purchase, agree that it's not worth upgrading if you already have one though.
No clue why I’m watching this, I’m in my final year at school, but still a great video.
Ali: Do we need an upgrade? Probably Not.
Medisave: Return my stethoscope ASAP!
😂😂
lol thats what I said.
Ali: I cannot be bought.
overall great video.
😂😂😂😂😂😂

Which should i buy?
Cardiology IV or master cardiology
Please give an opinion

@@EdDerp101 howdy friend. I use the pediatric side because the are is smaller. But you can use the adult side if you'd like.
@@MrPaulosophy Thanks for the reply :)
One more question if I can ask, do you use light pressure as korotkof sounds are generally deeper?
@@EdDerp101 yes. Because they are low frequency sounds. Low pressure for low frequency. High pressure for high frequency.
Cheers, legend!@@MrPaulosophy
I bought my Cardiology IV last year, since my 20 year old C-II was pretty much fossilized. When I opened the box, my reaction to the manual was the same as yours. Poof- over the shoulder. Thanks for the laugh!!
My medical school put together a diagnostic kit for us and that was the stethoscope we got.
lmao Ali i love your honest review and how you threw the box and the manuel😂 i usually don’t like watching product reviews but yours are the best😂😂
That's was amongst the most unhelpful reviews I've ever watched, still enjoyed watching it.
I think they are worth the upgrade Ali. Ur residents and senior doctors notice you, you become more confident about the sound and u don't need to wonder of maybe there was, maybe there wasn't. Think that makes it worth it...
I used a Littman the other day in dental school to listen for temporomandibular disorders. Such a versatile medical instrument!
Love that you throw the manual
Just got one of these as a med school gift, didn't realise it was so fancy
roses are red
violets are blue
i dunno why i'm watching this
and neither do you
Cause I lost my cheap stethoscope, and ordered this one out of worry for the fact I needed one lol
im a doctor ,MD internal medicine 😁
Well well well! I've been watching your channel for quite some time and was surprised that you did a review for a steth! I am looking for one now.
I am not the only one to be shocked seeing a stethoscope review!XDdddd~looking forward your new Vlog!
It’s like the Ferrari of stethoscopes 😂
Right?😂
Is this the future? Stethoscope review?
Great vid!
Just bought my first stethoscope in time for my first year OSCEs with your code! thanks!!!
Pleasee do a video on how you do essay plans! Love your vids as always!
I like how you throw everything 😂😂
I already purchased mine and I’m excited to check my patients!😁
Just got that one for a graduation present! It’s great
I just bought exactly the same, i thought yours was black until i saw close, and then watch the #6169 on the box.
Caribean blue w/mirror best choice in my opinion. salutes
I’m a high school freshman... why am I watching this😂
You have no idea Ali how fast my heart beats when I see you....can you please check with that stethoscope😍
Honesty goes a long way
I hope it was as cold as my Doctors stethoscope is ! That is the coldest thing I have ever encountered. Fun video 🤓🎧
I had my littmann cardiology stethoscope for 20 years, great stuff, vanished in COVID storm....sad I am
This is precisely what happened to me, every time in I'd left my Cardio III somewhere in the last 20 years it came back to me, not this time. Got a deal on Ebay for a new IV.
I love how show daily doctor utensils on your channel, keep up the work doctor
Its kinda funny how you review and try it to yourself hahaha Love you Ali!
Should I buy Classic iii or master cardiology
no stethoscopes were harmed ❤️
Medical Monday hype (and one day early Tech Tuesday) 🎉
What you think of digital stethoscopes, especially "thinklab"
Hey Ali , In one of your video you said that listening music between your study period can interfere in with memory... Can you elaborate on this topic... Plus, what should be the alternative
I’m not even a med student or a doctor yet I just feel I need to get one after watching this video 😅
If one stands mainly on semiological findings, which would be ideal, the Cardiology IV will make the difference.
" i mean..this one is a bit fatter"...lol nicely done! I use the classic III and so far so good!
Lool
I have a classic III and it’s really good
Watching this waiting for mine to be delivered lol
I'm wondering what you'll review next. How about putting the Johns Hopkins antibiotic Poc-it guide vs Sanford antibiotic apps against each other? 😈
I was looking through your blog, and finding out that you've read Eragon was fantastic.
I use the classic 3, I’m thinking about upgrading
I am between the cardialogy IV and the Master cardiologist .....any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Me too!! Wich is the better?
Doctor Ali, putting the Lit in Littman since 2019.
I’ve never thought about listening to my own breath sounds before * grabs stethoscope * 😂
That literally *sounds* nice and healthy 😂
I miss this version of Ali❤️
Thx for saving my money!
i think what would have been cool for this video would have been to try to use your "should i buy this object" framework applied to this piece of medical equipment, so we can see it being used in this ~other context~
I'm not even a Doctor, but I want this.
Being in the back of an ambulance it’s hard to hear lung sounds on a patient a with standard stethoscopes, so now I’m considering buying my own cardiology iv stethoscope to see what the hype is about
Why would you need a cardiology 4 for listening to just heart beats? they are for more complicated stuff which can be easily auscultated by classic 3 as well.
I got the Littmann Classic III and is good enough :D light and trusty. Great videos as always ^^
Littmann master or Cardiology IV is the most ideal for an anesthesiologist? I am searching it as a present for a good friend. 🌷
Ali, I just saw you last instagram’s posts and i noticed that you went to France. Why didn’t you came to see me in Lyon, I would have loved it. Shame on you 🤣. I’ m joking of course but that would have been cool.

Now you will have to spend a few minutes to pick all those things off the floor. There goes your productivity :D
looks likes Harry Potter with that fancy torch pen !
Most people waiting ipad mini 5 video from you with how look with apple pencil and compare. I think its better writing experience what do you think ?
"Hey guys, welcome back to my channel, if you're new here.." No I am not!, I've been here for 8 hours, watching all the videos, and now i think i need an ipad.
Last thing for you to review are the crocs wore in O.T
I wish someone could send me a free stethoscope 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I feel your pain!
Oh shit... Ali shelled out for the Littman 4 omg, normally only physicians use it. Only have Littman 3, PT student here xD
if the 4 is the best, then the 4 with the CORE attachment is insane
Thank you. Most reviewers talk rubbish and don't test and compare. 👏👏
im a pre-med and i wanna buy a stethescope just right now lol
Hey Ali ! Can you make a video on how to use the rocket book for Active recall and all for those who cant afford an iPad for note taking ?
I got that same stethoscope for my birthday and I LOVE it😭❤️❤️❤️
And now I know that the shorter and fatter ones are much louder
Don’t like Medisave sp services is much more better
(Edit). Turns out Medisave is still good getting a Littmann classic lll in dark olive and black, getting my name ingraved in it as well
I really love this brand!
Where on the website do you type in the discount code? I can't find it :(
I love my Caribbean Blue IV.
Secondly , I am trying hard to enhance my writing skills. Do you know any technique , evidence from research paper or anything that can help in this endeavor.
You should compare this to the Welch Allyn that costs as four times as much if you ever manage to come across one.
"i need all the help i can get"
my emergency specialist said that he had lost 6 stethoscopes for 15 years of his career life
It is nice to hear that this will make you see things better! I got one too a more simple one good video btw tho!
Its covid and yet I am back here....Hi!
My doctor I work for who is a PCP is letting me borrow his! But he has another one that his go to so im hoping he will let me keep it in the end
When you already know how to use the stethoscope *throw the manual *
One of my wish to buy it🥺
Lost my cardio 4 last week😢😢😢😢 it hurts
It's not the stethoscopes that matters but rather what is between the ears that counts.
I have the classic 3 and love
Hey Ali
I am going to study medicine, so I want to take your advice..would I be a heart surgeon or brain surgeon
If these stethoscopes are more sensitive and better at transferring sounds, is it possible that another internal organ or the patient's phone may have done the vibration but the vibration is mistaken to be of the heart? Not a medical person just asking.
Hi, a friend is hearing impaired and is considering buying an electronic stethoscope. Do you think it could be useful to her?
Next video, Draw my life! please
I liked the attitude with which u r throwing away vogus materials
When you threw the manual😂
As a LPN student, should I buy Classic III or Cardiology IV? Thanks!
Is this stethoscope suitable for someone doing internal medicine?
My boss once said Most important part of a stethoscope is the head between two earpiece
