Amazing service and advice yet again from the team at Newcastle store. I fully recommend Richer Sounds and I wouldn’t shop anywhere else for my TVs and Hi-Fi stuff.

Excellent Staff in the Newcastle shop

I dealt with the staff at the Newcastle branch when I bought my new speakers and I couldn’t fault them. There was an issue with delivery which they sorted out very quickly to my benefit, thank you.

Very helpful at their Newcastle store…Floor Standing Speakers

Very helpful at their Newcastle store when I was selecting a pair of floor standing speakers. They set up 3 different pairs to listen to, and organised their delivery, which arrived less than 48 hours later. Many many thanks to Callum, who was so patient, cheers Callum!

Entry level Turntable/Amp/Speakers

Having done some initial research online I went into the Newcastle store looking for further guidance and advise on an entry level turntable/amp/speaker set up.
3 members of staff were present, one of whom immediately introduced himself and listened to my inquiry/requirements/limitations.
Over the following 45 minutes various options were discussed and a couple set up in the demonstration room.
I left with an order placed and advise as to how to set it up once delivered.
Having had the pleasure of listening to the equipment for a week now I am a very satisfied customer.

Thank you for your review, although I’m genuinely sorry for the frustration caused by receiving the same feedback request more than once, which is understandably annoying. Our Trustpilot invitations are triggered automatically from our emailed receipts, so we’ve raised this with them to investigate why multiple invites were sent.

Having since spoken to you directly I’m pleased we were able to get everything resolved, of course if you do receive any further duplicates, please drop us a quick email and we’ll take it up with Trustpilot straight away.

Brilliant from start to finish…

Richer Sounds Newcastle were brilliant from start to finish. I’d been in the market for a new OLED TV for months, and patiently waited until the model I wanted dropped in price. As promised, RS then beat that price and offered a better warranty, all without fuss over email. The TV was then delivered the very next day at no extra cost. A pleasure to deal with - would highly recommend.

Best in town or anywhere else.

Good value. Excellent tv. Delivered quickly. The customer service is 2nd to none. Love the 6 year guarantee. I would highly recommend this company. I wouldn't buy from anywhere else now. It's the quality and that's so hard to find these days. Love them.

Fantastic service

Excellent service at Richer Sounds Newcastle. I had decided to upgrade my cd player, headphones, and possibly purchase a turntable too. After a bit of online research, I went into the shop for a chat. The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and took their time to explain everything and answer my questions. It is also very useful that they have a room where you can try the equipment you are considering to make sure the sound is right for you. After a couple of visits I left with my new purchases and I am thrilled. Top marks for service and choice. I would highly recommend.

Richer sounds richer experience

Richer sounds were recommended to me by my father in law, who’s been a customer for years.

I ordered yesterday for click and collect. I received a phone call this morning to say it was ready. The guy was super helpful and helped get the tv in the car, taking extreme care.

My wife found the same tv at a different retailer and they kept there beat promise.

Tv ordered and collected from Newcastle. Whilst waiting I didn’t realise the range of appliances they sold.

Will 100% be a returning customer for tech needs.

Speaker Cable - Advice & Purchase

Popped into the Newcastle store to get advice about 2 sets of speaker cables. Got one in the store, ordered the other for delivery on the day I wanted it. Can't fault the service from Richer Sounds
