Great Customer Service

I volunteer for a non-profit and we recently purchased a large screen TV for our meeting room. Ordering over the phone was made very easy with sound advice on mounts and commercial warranties. Unfortunatly we had not one but two faulty units, but both times the return and exchange was handled quickly and efficiently. We're very pleased with our choice to purchase via RS, I doubt that we would have had such good service from other well known retailers.

Smart OLED TV… LG the winner!

I had to replace a very early smart TV by Samsung and had identified that it would either be another Samsung OLED or more likely, the award winning 2025 LG model. LG was the winner and, as ever the Richer Sounds experience was excellent. One happy customer... now to wire in some quality speakers and enjoy classical music better than the TV can manage. Thanks once again to Richer Sounds!

A fantastic Marantz setup thanks to Richer Sounds.

The communication between me and Richer Sounds was great, very helpful with my requests. I walked into the shop and was greated by Harry who was very helpful and understanding. I listened to both of the set up cd players and amplifiers and speaker choice. I purchased the Marantz cd and amplifier with the Fyne audio speakers which are fantastic. Harry asked me about the cables that will connect everything up with pricing and the length. I now have a fantastic Marantz setup thanks to Richer Sounds, I would highly recommend them.

Excellent experience shopping at Richer Sounds Newcastle. I had enquired about the item, price (very good deal) etc. and then just needed to ensure domestic harmony!
I returned and ordered and it was delivered next day!

Excellent Service from Euan and the Newcastle store.

Excellent Service from Euan and the Newcastle team.. I was seeking a Monitor Audio centre in Ash but they weren't available online..
He sourced one direct from them and had it delivered within a few days and the communication was excellent. Would highly recommend. I will be coming back for the next upgrades.

Quality of service and advice is great

Quality of service and advice is great. Purchased new pair of headphones. Only downside is that I've had to purchase a separate headphone amplifier to use them as neither the cambridge amplifier or denon record player has headphone socket. That needs to be shown before customer buys the unit.

Thank you for your feedback and I'm glad the service at the Newcastle branch was as you expected. As you rightly say, with no headphone socket, the only way to connect wired headphones to a set up is with a headphone amp. I'm sorry that this was not discussed when you were buying the headphones for whatever reason, and will raise this with the branch.

I hope all is now well with the system of course, but if you do need any help please feel free to get in touch..

Great advice and service in the shop

Great advice and service in the shop, as always. When my cd player was delivered it was found to be faulty. When I reported this, staff were extremely helpful and quickly arranged for a new cd player to be delivered and the faulty one taken away.
