Great service, knowledgeable staff

What made my experience with Richer Sounds great was the no-nonsense responses to all my queries and the excellent demonstration of the product so I could try in store before buying. Dominic was very knowledgeable and patient.

I recently purchased an LG Mini LED TV from Richer Sounds⁠, and I had a very positive experience from start to finish. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to answer all my questions without any pressure to buy. The ordering process was smooth, communication was clear, and the TV arrived as expected.

I’m extremely pleased with the LG Mini LED TV itself, and the advice I received helped me choose the right model for my needs. The customer service and professionalism shown throughout the purchase made the experience even better.

I would happily recommend Richer Sounds to anyone looking for a new TV or home entertainment equipment. Excellent service and a great overall buying experience.

Excellent service

Friendly and helpful staff when I telephoned the Croydon branch and good follow up email communication.
Despite being an "open box" purchase, my item was in perfect condition and was delivered for a small charge to Yorkshire in record time in the original packaging and with all the accessories.
Well done Richer Sounds Croydon

Exceptional Service, Unmatched Warranty, and Massive Thanks to Keiron!

I cannot recommend Richer Sounds highly enough, specifically Keiron and the team at the Croydon branch, who have just secured me as a customer for life.

My old LG CX recently developed panel delamination along the bottom edge, resulting in black semi-circles. I had completely forgotten about the 6yr warranty included with my original purchase until I checked and realised I still had a few months remaining. After a quick phone call, the store advised me that LG no longer supplied replacement panels for that specific model, but they immediately offered me 40% of the original value as store credit.

Given the panel issue, I decided to use the credit toward a new Sony Bravia 8 (complete with a fresh 6yr warranty!). Initially, I loved the Sony; the colours, app calibration, UI, and PS5 integration were fantastic. However, my setup includes a Philips Hue HDMI Sync Box connected to a Google Streamer and my PS5. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get the Sony to consistently output 4K UHD, 120Hz, Dolby Vision, and Atmos simultaneously without some sort of trade-off, an issue I never experienced with my old LG.

I called the store to explain the headache I was having. The staff were incredibly patient, helping me troubleshoot and even escalating the issue directly to Sony on my behalf. While I continued to test cables and tweak settings, I did a deep dive and discovered the bottleneck was due to Sony's HDMI port bandwidth limitations, and that the newest LG C5 models had fully addressed the previous overheating and delamination flaws.

I called the store back to share my findings and spoke with Keiron. He was super helpful, incredibly friendly, and didn't hesitate for a second to arrange a swapout for the new LG. Because the LG was slightly cheaper, he seamlessly refunded the price difference. No friction, no issues, no problems.

The staff here are genuinely knowledgeable, profoundly helpful, and truly care that you are completely happy with your home cinema investment. Exceptional customer service from start to finish, this is exactly why I will keep going back.

Richard was great

Richard was great, good balanced advice. Asked what I wanted to get out of the system and adviced accordingly of the types of speakers to provide that. Got me an excellent package deal and prepped the speaker cables for me.
