Steve was (still is) brilliant, from the moment I walked into the store. Great customer service, I told him what I liked, he arranged a demo of the equipment within 30 mins. I ended up purchasing a Ca... See more

An almost impossible purchase!

Speedy collection, near impossible to believe that a multi-region DVD player (which also plays CDs), can be purchased new and under warranty for 3 years for £29, but it can. Bought to supplement a DVD gift for our neighbour's young children, who in the age of streaming did not have one! Served with a smile on collection, despite a price that probably leaves very little margin.

Excellent service

Really helpful on the phone, offered a great alternative deal as the item I was asking about was sold out. Visited in store and they upheld, and standard delivery was super quick. Speakers are great 😃

Best place to buy audio-visual equipment

Richer Sounds has been my first (and usually only) shop to buy from. There are a number of reasons but three stand out. First is the staff, knowledgeable, friendly, ready to answer questions. Second the after sales service, on the odd time I've needed it they have been most helpful, third prices, Almost always either or near the cheapest and combined with points one and two the best buy. It seems invidious to single out one individual in a history of helpful staff but Elliot had all the qualities that make it such a pleasure to shop at Richer Sounds.

First class service

It’s a pleasure to visit a shop that is interested in ensuring that I buy the best equipment for my wants rather than something that might just about do, but is going to make them the biggest profit margin.

New Sennheisers don't like USB C adapter

Holborn extremely helpful, courteous.
Advice on new Sennheiser headphones. Purchased but didn't work with the USB C adapter that I had to use for my lighting phone. Very understanding and helpful.

A quality shop

The original advice was exactly what I needed to find what I wanted. Most helpful!
Once I had decided what I wanted, the purchase was completed speedily and hassle free.
At no time did I feel pressured into purchasing something I didn't need.
The product was delivered promptly and to the specified time.

Steve went above and beyond to sort out my order, very knowledgable on the product range and gave me brilliant tailored advice. Would recommend anyone looking to buy a high end piece of equipment to go through richer sounds as their warranty is the best in industry and if you know anything about the company they make sure to look after both their staff & customers.

Great service and quick delivery

I was after a specific hifi stand which I had ordered direct from the manufacturer but they kept pushing the delivery date back. Found the same stand at Richer Sounds and went to my local store. The shop staff were very helpful, ordered up the item from their warehouse and had it delivered the next day. Very happy with service and speed of delivery.
