I've had the 4100ws for about a year, and am very pleased with it. The sound quality is very good, and it eliminates some (but not all) background noise. I have found it to be an outstanding teaching tool. The recording function is very easy to use, and the IR transfer works well. IR transfer to a desktop works only on windows XP at this point, which is frustrating for us mac users. You will need access to an XP machine to pull the recorded clips off. I often use the clips in presentations. This works very well, but you need to know that regular computer speakers won't be adequate. On normal speakers, the clips won't sound much like the murmur you are trying to present. I paired mine with a Bose sound dock, and the murmurs sound quite real when played on that. This is a GREAT way to teach med students, nurses, RTs, etc.... when you come across infrequent auscultation findings, you can record them and later play them for your colleagues so that everyone can gain some experience from the unusual presentation. I also love the 'slow play' feature, that lets me slow the playback down to 1/2 speed, to make murmurs easier to evaluate for students. My only complaint is that I can't transfer recorded clips directly to my mac.Get more detail about 3M Littmann 4100WS Electronic Stethoscope, Black.
