Ryan was honest and spoke Welsh! However I did NOT like the comment at the bottom of the invoice about getting back to you within 24 hours if the product is damaged being in "microscopic" print. This... See more

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

I thought the service was good
I thought the service was good. Matt the salesman in the shop was really helpful and the speakers I bought are very good.

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.

Excellent customer service
Matt at the Manchester store was excellent. He got in touch directly when my initial choice of product was unavailable, and guided me towards a suitable alternative with expert advice provided in an easily understandable way. I couldn’t be happier with the service and product I received, and I’m continuously impressed with the offerings of Richer Sounds.
