The Adscope Cardiology Series is the perfect choice for any healthcare professional demanding the absolute best in sound and versatility. Whether you’re an internist, an ER nurse, a student, or a primary care physician, superior acoustic performance means clearer diagnoses and greater peace of mind. If you’re in the market for an upgrade, stop searching and start with Adscope.

Hear the Difference: A Closer Look at the Cardiology Headset

Our signature Cardiology headset is engineered for clarity and comfort:

Stereo Separation: We use two distinct sound channels to give you true stereo separation, allowing you to discern subtle sounds with unparalleled precision.
Silence the Noise: The tubing features soft, flexible PVC with extra mass, effectively dampening ambient noise so you can focus only on your patient.
Perfect Fit, Perfect Seal: Our large-bore aural tubes, crafted from German stainless steel or aluminum alloy, are fixed at a precise 15° angle. This design comfortably aligns with your ear canal for a proper acoustic seal, blocking outside sound and ensuring nothing is lost.

Every single instrument undergoes individual acoustic testing right here in our New York facility—a quality control step no other major manufacturer takes.
