Hisense 43" TV and Stand

I made an appointment with Jon, explaining that we weren't going to spend a tremendous amount but due to a bad back couldn't hang around. He was brilliant from start to finish. He is an example of why I'd use Richer Sounds before anyone else.

Good service & knowledge

I spoke with a customer representative on the phone. He helped confirm my option for a Sony Bravia and soundbar was a good one, as well as going for a stand rather than wall mounting. The TV & soundbar arrived within a week. Communication was good throughout.

Really helpful staff. Solution orientated.

I called them to explain I was not sure whether to buy active or passive speakers for my new Brennan amplifier, and they said bring it in and we'll try out a range of options. So I had an hour in the listening lounge swapping a variety of options. The staff were great and I settled on a pair of passive.

I went in asking questions and they were answered. I asked about one particular item and was introduced to a cheaper option which turns out suited me better. They even hooked it up to demonstrate.
I left with a better idea of what I was looking for and a quote.
On returning with some changes to the suggested items there were no quibbles or trying to upsell. Just an offer of help if I needed any at any time in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and I’m really pleased to read your comments about Andie. I’ll be sure to pass your kind words on.

I’m sorry to hear that the setup process proved so difficult of course, and whilst I’m glad you were able to get some help, I understand the frustration. If you need any assistance in future, whether that’s setup advice over the phone or any other support, we’re always happy to help and you can reach us at...

Welcoming atmosphere in the store (Cardiff) and friendly, expert advice led to a hifi purchase that I’m delighted with. Very pleased with the suggestion to use the soundproof room to listen to the system and try a better record deck (Argon) which was well worth the extra cost.

Second Samsung TV with a backlight issues in the last 3 years. 3 years into this latest 6 year warranty period struggled to get hold of service help. Given a number I tried to call with no joy as of yet. Hoping to get problem remedied.
*Update: Richer Sounds repairs replaced the faulty screen, however the power button is now missing from the tv unit. Can use the remote to power on. Not ideal.
Further update: Richer Sounds has offered to remedy the issue with a further repair or vouchers for a future purchase. I am really pleased they take their customer service seriously and have done their best to help throughout.

Thank you for your feedback, although I’m genuinely sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced with your Samsung TV.

I appreciate how frustrating it is to encounter a backlight fault again, particularly given this is the second Samsung TV you’ve owned following us replacing a previous model. Rest assured, we’ll be highlighting your experience to the manufacturer.

I'm also sorry that post your review, and the repair subsequently being booked and completed by our service team, there is an outstanding problem, which I will of course investigate with the engineer who worked on your TV. I understand our customer service team are in touch with you and helping resolve things, although if you should need my help please do get in touch..

Just the best of service possible

I received from the outset excellent advice and support. Both on the telephone or in person the staff were unfailingly polite, attentive and pro-active. Andy in particular was both true to his word and his actions. It was obvious that he and his manager enjoyed a harmonious working relationship which helped the transaction enormously. Excellent

Candid advice and very competitive prices. Made better by offering the difference in price a week after purchasing, when the TV was reduced. Even helped me out to the car with the TV!
Hars to quibble with that level of service.
