A user can choose either a wired or wireless earphone to listen to these engaging sounds. Stemoscope is the world's first wearable stethoscope. With the specially designed strap (might need to be ordered separately), you can easily wear it or carry it easily with you. It is so small that you can store it with your earphone in the same bag. The stemoscope comes with an engaging App with many rich and useful features that are easy to use by anyone. You can save the sounds and the locations where the sound comes from. You can share the recorded sounds with others through emails. The App supports playback at half the normal speed so that it is easier for anyone to recognize the detailed sound characteristics.
