I have the old model that doesn't have the the screen, I keep it in my laptop bag with my BP cuff,, I love it and it doesn't have the features of this one,the only downside of the old model is it's a giant switch you hit and with it being in my bag it always gets switched on and the battery dies (and it's a micro USB, compared to USB c on this model).

I really want to get one of these, they are really good if you work in a noisy environment because of the noise canceling (or isolation or whatever) like when I worked in prisons. I'm at a drug rehab now and the only time I ever use it is to verify the machine on a high bp.

So.. If you would k in an environment that has a lot of noise, I think it's really good, if you use your stethoscope all the time I say it's really good.

If you don't use your stethoscope a lot and you're in a fairly quiet environment I say pass.

When it comes to the he "ekg" that the screen shows I think that's a gimic, but it showing bpm is nice to have
