The help and advice I received from Matt was probably the best I have ever received from anyone in a store. I really appreciated his assistance. If I was to give him marks out of 10 I would give him 12 !
Best wishes Roger Aley.

Great experience

Great experience. I booked a demo and tried a few options. No time pressure, and backed by a 14 days retun. Great.

Great quality product, sound lacks bass initially but with EQ it comes alive!

The design and build quality are fab.

The sound is good but after trying the DMS Labs tuning I absolutely love them now, nice and flat EQ with equal representation that sounds brilliant and characterful!

Great value for money at £179 but definitely try the labs tune (available in video 'Nothing CEO reacts to Headphone (1) reviews' at 6:56 )

P.S When the ear cups are flat they will clink together and I've read reports of them chipping away at each other, I've just popped some electrical tape where they touch and that seems to have reduced the impact :)

Notable mentions:
Paid for 6 day delivery and received it the next day which was nice!

Staff in the Manchester shop were very helpful and allowed me ample time to decide without feeling rushed, also very knowledgeable and friendly. I think it was James that helped me, (long grey hair)

Excellent advice as always!

I contacted Richer Sounds asking for advice regarding a pre-amp for my turntable. The advice I received was spot on as always. Although I ended up buying the pre-amp from Amazon (cos I could get it next day rather than wait til after Easter) I did buy a RCA cable from RS in Manchester. Very pleased with the cable & the advice I received from the team was superb as always.

Outstanding service from the Manchester team.
Ryan was patient and very informative with my purchase.
Very pleased with the price, and believe me I DID shop around - and quite confident that not only this was the cheapest price in the UK but with the 6 year warranty and brilliant customer service this was a cracking deal.
Speedy delivery with 2 great guys too.

The headphones are brilliant

The headphones are brilliant. The app lets you EQ the sound I like very much recommended. The only fly in the ointment is DPD. I dread deliveries from them. This time was no different. The driver took one look a the flats and drove straight passed. I then had to go and collect from a shop. Despite the fact I was at home and never left the flat. I paid for home delivery. Please stop using DPD as they couldn't a cold in the middle of a Pandemic.

Purchase of a Humax aura EZ 4K FHR-6000T PVR

I recently purchased Humax aura EZ 4K FHR-6000T personal video recorder. The superficial nature of the accompanying user manual meant that the procedure for its initial installation and configuration was anything but straightforward.
Following a visit to the Manchester branch of Richer Sounds, the staff quickly resolved my installation problems by offering and delivering a prompt solution.
It makes a refreshing change to deal with staff with relevant technical knowledge and abilities as opposed to staff whose expertise lies solely in sales and marketing.
