Eko CORE 500™ Digital Stethoscope — 40x Amplification, Active Noise Cancellation, 3-Lead ECG, FDA-Cleared AI with Eko+, Full-Color Display, Reimbursement Eligible — Silver, COR501

I’ve been using the Core 500 Digital Stethoscope for a little while now, and it has definitely exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is incredibly clear—far better than my traditional stethoscope. Being able to amplify heart and lung sounds makes assessments faster and more accurate, especially in noisy environments. The digital display is simple and intuitive, and the overall build feels solid and professional. I really appreciate the ability to replay sounds; it’s a game changer when double-checking findings or discussing cases with coworkers. Battery life has held up well, and it charges quickly. If you’re looking to upgrade or want a reliable stethoscope that gives you an edge with digital features, the Core 500 is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend for EMS, nursing, and medical professionals who want the best tools possible.

Absolutely love this stethoscope. I cannot recommend it any higher! I’ve been in the medical field for 25+ years, and I’ve always had difficulty hearing with a stethoscope to discern the various lung sounds and heart murmurs. This stethoscope muffles out any environmental noise and allows me to hear with such precision, that I can hear the tiniest, faint crackle or wheeze. Every coworker that’s expressed interest in it, I’ve handed it to them told them to go use it on a patient, and they come back in awe. It is well worth the price, in buying it through Amazon you can do longer payment plans if it’s not in the budget as a solid payment. I highly recommend it. I rarely use the Eko app, but the ability to record the EKG tracing in real time is amazing.

Bought this as a gift for graduating with my APRN. Looks very professional. I always struggled with being able to hear clearly with stethoscopes, love that I can turn up the sound and really hear and identify sounds clearly. I can easily hear murmurs I could never identify with my Littman. Love that you can toggle inbetween lung, heart or both. I use wide mostly unless I need a more clear sound from a specific area. Haven’t played must with the EKG features. Would buy again. Worth the prices. Well made. Lasts about a week consistent use before needing charging. Fast charges.

This was the best stethoscope I ever bought. The quality of sound and the visual is absolutely the best.

I have always been a fan of Eko. Got my first Litman Core in 2022 and will never go back to a standard stethoscope again. It' works amazingly. I recently upgraded to the Core 500. A little background, I work outpatient family medicine in a urban area. I see about 25-30 patiets per day in office, predominantly adults but also children and newborns. Pros: - sound quality is excellent. Exceptional filtering. I can hear more precisely than even with my other Eko products. It has helped me pick up on more early heart murmurs (allowing for early testing and early surveillance--including an asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis that was missed by his last provider). My parents really like hearing their kids heartbeat by bluetooth to my phone to allow for audio and I have used it in teaching as well so my student can listen as i'm listening. It's structurally stable. Lightweight--I barely notice the difference between it and my stethoscope. An ergonically works well. Cons - only one I can think of so far is that it's too large to use on a newborn. I have been very happy with my eko products and I appreciate the upgrade to the core 500. 2 other docturs in my office also have them. Most of the doctors here have upgraded to the digital stethoscopes. Most of them are Eko. We love it.

I absolutely love this stethoscope. I am an icu nurse manager, I use this frequently when I work in the emergency room and during resuscitation. I love how I can quickly get a 3 lead EKG during triage situations. The battery life is great as well, I work 12 hour shifts and it always lasts my full shift, usually a couple of them. It charges quickly too. I did also buy screen protectors for it and I’m glad I did because week 2 I hit it against a counter accidentally when taking it off and the screen protector cracked but the screen itself was protected yay. I do wish there was a way to attach it to your iCloud account or login and lock it to prevent theft. Maybe an update will provide that someday!

This is definitely an added tool that I didn't know I would be able to utilize in so many different ways. I work full-time fire and ems and this guy is top tier. Idk about the agencies you work for but we have issues with our electrodes drying out and not reading properly or those patients you get that are incredibly sweaty no matter how many times you wipe them off with a towel the electrodes just won't stick or stay on. This stethoscope has aided in both of those occurrences many times. Yes it is very pricey but I would purchase it again. The battery life is way better than I expected. Functionally all the buttons work perfectly haven't had any issues with sticking or getting gunked up. Durability is better than expected as well. Wish their were more color options.

Esta increíble la calidad, el sonido y lo del electrocardiograma. Creo hasta el momento es el mejor estetoscopio que existe.

EXCELENTE !!!

Purchased for my daughter who is studying veterinary medicine. Connects seamlessly to her cochlear implants and enables her to hear the same as other students who don’t have a hearing loss. Bought in the standard colour which was the only one available which is lovely but would have loved an opportunity to be able to purchase the blue one but that is purely personal choice and cosmetic! Would be lovely to be able to purchase some of the accessories as would have loved the case to keep it safe. Great visual display. Love love love it!

I read about the CORE 500 and having used an electronic stethoscope for over 20 years, I was keen to try it. It is quite simply the best stethoscope I have ever owned. The sound is crystal clear and is wonderful for detecting murmurs, chest sounds, bruits, etc. The heart rate and ECG is a bonus. I don't subscribe to EKO Plus for AI interpretation as it's too expensive and I am happy to trust my many years of experience, but I can well imagine it being useful to doctors at an earlier stage in their career.

El producto viene con su empaque íntegro y bien protegido. Es increíble cómo mejora la auscultación cardíaca y registra telemetría de forma rápida y guarda una copia en el celular. He tenido algunos problemas para modificar el registro de los pacientes en la aplicación pero son cosas menores que seguramente repararan en actualizaciones.
