Clear, specific sound for easy diagnosis. EKG trace very useful for rapid interpretation, saves record to your cell phone. Never going back to "normal" stethoscope. NOTE: buy a case to protect it. TIGA brand highly recommended. Review: Quick, easy-to-use, and efficient - I am a medical student with graduate-level experience in signal processing. An early academic project of mine involved work on a portable ECG device, so I have a general understanding of the core ideas and challenges that come with designing such a device. I own a KardiaMobile portable 6L EKG device and a Littmann stethoscope with a tunable diaphragm which provide great points of comparison. My overall experience with this stethoscope is quite positive. I can see it being an useful learning tool as well, saving example EKG AND PCG recordings (simultaneously!!) of heart conditions as I observe them in the clinic. The EKG feature is easy to use, and finds a signal quite quickly (even faster than my KardiaMobile device). While it finds a signal super quick, it'd be nice to have some translation of the 3 plotted leads to the standard EKG leads found on a regular hospital system-- right now it requires some user interpretation. As far as the acoustics on this stethoscope go, it's handy to have the amplification, and I could see how it might help some clinicians with mild hearing loss. The noise-cancelling feature is also handy, reducing some of the artifactual noise you pick up with stethoscopes like the standard Littmann. HOWEVER, I find that turning the noise-cancelling can sometimes help pick up some of the higher-frequency sounds (the pulmonary setting also helps with this). Also, (nitpicking here) I've noticed the diaphragm paired with the Eko signal processing seems to be a bit different than I'm used to with the Littmann, especially on the cardio setting. Higher pressure on the Littmann emphasizes the higher frequency sounds, but on the Eko, it oddly seems to emphasize the lower frequency sounds. Also, sometimes the pressure optimal for clean EKG is not optimal for listening (in some cases). So it might require a little playing around and getting used to. Also, when using the stethoscope head paired with Bluetooth instead of the wired earpiece, there's a slight delay in the connection which is noticeable but at the end of the day is probably not a big deal, and could just be my earbuds. It is still pretty cool to be able to keep the head in my bag or pocket without the earpiece in case I see something interesting I want to record (and its fairly easy to tell on the app whether the acoustic/electric signal quality is good, even without listening). Overall, it's been both super educational and fun working with this stethoscope, and I look forward to using it more! ## Features - SMART STETHOSCOPE — The CORE 500 is the modern stethoscope replacement, blending 3-lead ECG with AI insights, unparalleled audio clarity, waveform visualizations, and exam recording and sharing capabilities. - AI DETECTION WITH EKO+ — Your purchase includes a free 14-day Eko+ trial to unlock murmur and AFib detection, plus unlimited recording.

This enhances exam accuracy and aids in detecting diseases often missed by traditional stethoscopes. **Q: Who is the CORE 500 designed for?** A: It’s designed for clinicians who need to listen to heart and lung sounds with precision, work in settings with background noise, or regularly assess patients for arrhythmias such as AFib. It can be used in outpatient and inpatient settings. **Q: What is Eko+ membership, and is it required to use the CORE 500?** A: Eko+ membership is required to save recordings and run Eko AI analysis. Enjoy a 14-day free trial with purchase; membership auto-renews at US$119.99/year unless canceled. Prices shown in local currency where Eko+ is offered. Taxes and fees may apply. **Q: Can the CORE 500 be used with Bluetooth-enabled headphones or hearing aids?** A: The CORE 500 can be used with wireless listening devices such as Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids or headphones when connected through the Eko App. For the best audio quality, listening through your mobile device’s built-in speaker is not recommended. **Q: How do clinicians use Eko AI in their practice?** A: Eko AI is FDA-cleared software that uses screening algorithms to help clinicians detect suspected abnormalities. The findings are not diagnoses but serve to aid clinicians in reaching an accurate and confident diagnosis quickly. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best! *by R***O on September 9, 2026* Worth every penny.

My wife, her daughter, is a LVN and she had to use her stethoscope to know when she passes to stop her pacemaker (DNR). I bought her this stethoscope so she could leave it on her chest and monitor from her phone or the other daughters could check her heart rate while sitting in the room with her as they took turns throughout the night. This was the best thing I could ever have gotten her. It reduced the stress during a stressful time and allowed the sisters to sit around their mom and share stories, and laugh. I am so thankful for this device and if she never uses it again, it was completely worth it! ## Frequently Bought Together - CORE 500™ Digital Stethoscope — 40x Amplification, Active Noise Cancellation, 3-Lead ECG, FDA-Cleared AI with Eko+, Full-Color Display, Reimbursement Eligible — Silver, COR501 - Eko CORE 500™ Digital Stethoscope Chestpiece Cover - 3 Pack (Bloom Collection) - Eko CORE 500™ Digital Stethoscope Case --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/611259531-core-500-digital-stethoscope-40x-amplification-active-noise-cancellation-3](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/611259531-core-500-digital-stethoscope-40x-amplification-active-noise-cancellation-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
