Buying guide
Is the Littmann Classic III the right stethoscope for you?
The Classic III is the stethoscope most of our students choose. Here is how it compares with the other Littmann models, and how to pick between its many finishes.
The range at a glance
What do you get with a Classic III?
Every Classic III has a dual-sided stainless steel chestpiece with a tunable diaphragm on both the adult and paediatric sides. Light pressure brings out low-frequency sounds and firmer pressure brings out high-frequency sounds, so each side handles both. The paediatric side converts to a traditional open bell with a non-chill rim, and the small diaphragm is handy for children, thin patients and carotid assessment. The 69 cm next-generation tubing is made without natural rubber latex and resists skin oils and alcohol. Littmann backs it with a 5-year warranty.
Classic III or Cardiology IV?
This is the question we hear most. Both are dual-sided with tunable diaphragms and both cover adult and paediatric patients. The Cardiology IV has a chestpiece 40% larger and a bell 60% deeper than the Classic III, is designed for critical care and comes with a 7-year warranty instead of 5. It also costs noticeably more. For students and general ward work the Classic III is the sensible choice; if you are heading into ICU, emergency or cardiology, the Cardiology IV is worth the step up.
Classic III or Lightweight II S.E.?
The Lightweight II S.E. is the entry-level Littmann at 118 g, with a teardrop chestpiece that sits under a blood pressure cuff, one tunable diaphragm, an open bell and a 2-year warranty. It suits nursing and BP-heavy work. The Classic III gives you tunable diaphragms on both sides and a longer warranty, which matters if you will auscultate hearts and chests every day.
Stainless, rainbow, smoke or Black Edition?
The finish changes the look, not the chestpiece. Stainless steel is the classic choice. The Black Edition has a matte black chestpiece, headset and stem for an all-dark look, while the smoke finish pairs a smoke-finish chestpiece with the tube colour you choose. Mirror, champagne, rainbow and copper finishes add colour to the chestpiece, and the Satin Finish limited editions use a different tube surface with the same acoustics as the standard model.

Spares for later
When a diaphragm wears or an eartip goes missing, the Classic III takes the Littmann 40016 (black) or 40017 (grey) spare parts kit, which has both tunable diaphragms and two small eartips. Replacement tubing is also available, so a worn tube does not mean a new stethoscope.

Questions we get asked
Before you buy
What is the difference between the Littmann Classic II and Classic III?
The Classic II S.E. has a tunable diaphragm on the adult side and a bell on the other. The Classic III has tunable diaphragms on both the adult and paediatric sides, and the paediatric side converts to an open bell. We stock Classic III models and Classic II S.E. spare parts kits.
Does the Classic III work for children?
Yes. The smaller side is a paediatric tunable diaphragm, and it converts to an open bell. If you work with children or newborns every day, the Classic II Paediatric or Infant has a chestpiece made for small patients.
Can I have my Classic III engraved?
Yes. We laser-engrave the name on the chestpiece in-house, usually on the same day you order. Tick the engraving option on the product page and type your text.
What should I engrave on my stethoscope?
Most people choose their name and surname, or initials if the name is long. Keep it short so it reads clearly on the chestpiece. Ask us if you want a symbol or image added.
How long is the Classic III warranty?
Littmann gives the Classic III a 5-year warranty. We are an authorised Littmann distributor, so the warranty applies to every Classic III we sell.
