Shops like they used to be

In some ways going into Richer Sounds makes me sad because it shows how good other retail outlets could and should be. They have amazing customer service from staff who know what they’re talking about. If you have a problem they *phone you* to put it right. It’s like going in a shop from a time when shops cared about what they sold and what you bought. I can’t rate it highly enough.

Bought £2k TV with free soundbar and promised price would be held till next day and I think manager in Southgate said he couldn't so paid higher price for TV. Decided to buy headphones . Walked into Southgate , staff serving customer. Waited . Manager who served me walked out back and ignored me so had to go to Holborn to put hase. Staff really tried to help. Bought because fiio 21 with iem sounded bad ..asked staff if he'd help set it up and he agreed , but over ear sounds great so will probably just sell iem.

Thank you for choosing to shop with us and I'm glad that the Holborn team were able to help with your purchase, although I’m sorry to read about some parts of the experience, particularly in your Southgate, which I will of course review with the branch manager.

If there’s anything further I can assist with, or if you’d like me to look into any of the points you’ve raised in more detail, please don’t hesitate to get in touch..

I have had 2 tvs in 5 days

I have had 2 tvs in 5 days . The 1st did not support headphones which was important to me . The 2nd, I could not fit the stand because the holes in the casing did not line up with the screw holes. I sent it back. I got my tv from Currys.

Great service as always

I phoned the store to ask if they had my item in stock. They offered to hold it for me, and did so even when I was a couple of days late collecting. I love Richer Sounds! Wouldn't go anywhere else.

I had a great experience with Dan at the Holborn Store. He managed to upsell and convinced me to purchase The EVO 1. Originally i was set on getting the Naim Muso which is incredible.
His attention to detail and overall service swayed my opinion!!

We'd love to hear from you!

Firstly, thank you for shopping with Richer Sounds.

Your opinion matters (no, it really does!).

Whilst it is reported that 78% of people say they receive too many survey requests, and it feels like their feedback doesn't register, at Richer Sounds we're listening - and we take every single comment and review seriously."

Excellent service

Went looking for headphones for my son's 18th birthday present and the manager allowed him to trial a couple of pairs in the demo room. One he had already tried somewhere else but was needed as a reference to the other which we hadn't seen anywhere else on display.
It helped him opt for a model not out but available, which upon checking was price matched on the spot to another retailer, no quibble.
Very professional and keeps Richer Sounds somewhere I will always check out and visit when tv and hifi needs arise.

Fantastic advice & brilliant headphones!

I saw they had the headphones I was looking for in stock & they couldn’t have been kinder and more helpful with answering any questions I had. Cans came the next day. Brilliant!
