Had a problem with my DAB500
Had a problem with my DAB500 , we contacted Oakcastle who replied promptly and after jumping through a couple of hoops to prove the extra warranty we had was valid, we were sent an email with an update to the firmware which was quite easy to do, our high spec equipment is now working perfectly !
All in all , a good customer service experience !

Very good Customer Service
I sent an e-mail to their Customer Service/Technicsl Support line to request information on a particular model in their range. Not only did their agent reply within an hour, but gave me very useful information regarding my impending purchase. I already own one radio/CD player which I have been extremely pleased with, but needed information on a second purchase. I can't rank the company highly enough.

Dab500 pc message
I contacted Oakcastle about a message I was receiving. Within 10 mins Emilyn had come back to me with the reason and the solution. After a few emails due to my lack of a working pc I actually got the pc working and Emilyn took me through the process to upgrade the firmware on my dab500. All worked well and my radio is back up running perfectly. Excellent service and a knowledgeable contact. Can’t speak too highly of the service thank you Emilyn

I was having problems with the speakers…
I was having problems with the speakers on my CD250 player. I got in touch with customer service via Email and Emilyn and Josh sorted my problem out in no time at all. They were both fantastic, taking time to respond to every Email with Courtesy, care and patience. Nothing was too much trouble and i felt valued as a customer. The whole experience was very positive from start to finish. I would highly recommend Oakcastle to everyone for going above and beyond to all their customers. Thank you for a fantastic five star service to everyone at oakcastle especially Josh and Emilyn, thank you for all your help. Sara

Solid Product.
My unit had a couple of teething problems but these were dealt with superbly by their tech support. Now I have a solid product which I am enjoying very much, This is high quality hifi built by a British company at a very affordable price.
Excellent service and products
Excellent service and products. Very pleased with my purchase and highly recommend the company.

the company's customer after sales support is unrivalled, in my experience.
It was very prompt, not adversarial in any way, supportive and decisive.
Music to my Ears
I wanted a small HIFi unit for upstairs. I didn't want a one piece mini boombox.I wanted something with separate speakers. I came across Oakcastle on Amazon and looked at their collection. A HiFi150 Unit was priced at £59.95. It arrived within 48 hours. After unboxing, setup was so easy, I didn't need to read the instructions. It has 30 Radio Stations you can chose to save. Aux socket to connect to other devices. USB, Bluetooth, and Headphone jack. Everything you would see on a more expensive unit. I am very pleased with my purchase. The sound is unbelievable for the price. If you are looking for something HiFi at a very reasonable price, give Oakcastle a look. I highly Recommend.
Good Looking Unit - Excellent Sound Quality
Good Looking Unit
Budget friendly price with excellent sound quality
Easy to set up once in position, plug and play, along with setting up the radio stations that you require.
We had a Bose that packed up and loved the quality, to be honest we are really impressed with this unit.
We are in out late 60's and we couldn't have got a better unit to set up.
Before ordering we did email Oakcastle customer service with a question and they came back within an hour which was impressive.
Crystal Clear Sound ...............
Always wondered about a DAB Radio/CD Player and if they were worth the price tag.
We did an awful lot of research and came across the Oakcastle DAB500 which seemed to hit all the right notes, after careful consideration we purchased while on promotion via Amazon UK, this was delivered promptly.
On opening the black wood surround looked attractive and stylish.
With everything set up, time to try - What perfect sound on the DAB Radio and the CD Player - So nice to be able to listen once again to the CD's we had wasting away in a cupboard and not heard for quite some time.
The DAB500 is everything I was looking for and more, so nice to have the CD Player too.
Crystal clear sound, not only sounds great it has an attractive design which fits into the decor of our home so well.
Would highly recommend and great to buy especially when on promotion.

Great products and customer service
Had radios and CD players from the company and loved the products. Had a problem with one product after a years warranty had expired. But as i had registered on their website for an extended 3 year warranty they first of all gave me plenty of support trying to solve the problem and when that wasn't possible they replaced it. Best customer support I've ever experienced...!!!
