I'm a big fan of Richer Sounds and like…

I'm a big fan of Richer Sounds and like their business philosophy and support of their work colleagues. I also like staffs' welcoming demeanour and service. Recently I went to the Leicester branch for some speaker cable and was served by Paul. He was very obliging and gave me the 24 metres of quality cable as requested for a reasonable price. I have now cut the cable in half to create two cables, fitted connectors to each end and the cables now form an important part of my Bang & Olufsen 5000 system that I recently acquired for my special Birthday present. Just a small point though, having got home and measured the speaker cable length it was roughly 1 metre short and only 23 metres long. It's not an issue as I had allowed extra but I had also paid for 24 metres and was sold short 😢. Anyway, the B&O system sounds great through the Redline 60s that I have owned for about 30 years and recently refurbished the auxiliary bass reflex panels. So if anyone is looking for a reliable aftermarket method of rebuilding a pair of RL60 ABRs please get in touch. BH

Thank you for the feedback and the kind words about the business and the team at the branch. We're really sorry for the oversight with the cable however and will of course ask the store to make sure they are more careful going forward.

Kind regards

Went into Richer Sounds to buy a TV for 93 year old - it's all about the controller

Went into Richer Sounds to buy a TV for my 93 year old Mum. My only concern was will she be able to use the controller - the staff member was brilliant (he had recently bought a new TV for his elderly Dad so knew my dilemma). Explained the TV to both my husband and myself and showed us the controller. TV was arranged to be delivered to my Mum's assisted living facility between 10am -1pm the following day. I then received a phone call from the delivery driver at 7.35am stating he was trying to deliver the TV - I declined the delivery. I rang Richer Sounds Leicester spoke to Paul gave him the details and he informed me dont worry we will sort it for you. I received a phone call from the Manager (Sebastian) stating he would be bringing the TV himself to my Mum's home - which he did. Brilliant customer service. Thank you Richer Sounds from a 93 year old & a happy daughter.

As usual...

As usual.... the team respond quickly to messages, they've bags of enthusiasm (with great product knowledge), they listen and they recommend without it turning into a pitch. I've been a Richer customer for years and I know what I'm going to get every time I head into the shop. Outstanding, again - thank you!

Great service provided by Richard

I phoned the national telesales phone line and the call was redirected to Richard at the Liecester shop. I knew which TV I wanted to purchase but had a few questions about the product, the price and the warranty. Richard was very helpful in all respects and processed my order very efficiently providing lots of useful additional information about the product and delivery process.
I have been a long standing customer of Richer Sounds and have always been impressed by the service I have received and this experience was as good as ever. Many thanks to Richard.

Knowledgeable salesman

Knowledgeable salesman who gave honest opinions of products and didn't try to upsell the product. (Although I'd've been willing to be upsold some speakers!).
Offers explained properly.
Delivery went well.
Product better than expected.

All staff in Richer Sounds Leicester…

All staff in Richer Sounds Leicester branch were very helpful & understanding -when I had problems with the new TV Id purchased. I contacted the shop to discuss my problems. The stall were very attentive & understanding. They suggested their TV engineer to come to me & try to sort my difficulties. The above was prompt, coming out within the hour. He couldn't fix the problems . He reported back to Richer Sounds, saying the TV was not functioning properly. Richer Sounds arranges with me, to purchase a different model. This I did, with lots help from all the staff. I now have a perfect TV-working properly. Its fantastic-such a clear beautiful colour & sound. THANKS TO ALL-STAFF & MARK (engineer.)
I certainly recommend anyone of thinking of purchasing TVs or other related goods to use Richer Sounds.
M.A.Wardle. (Mrs.)
