Faultless experience

Faultless experience from start to finish. Friendly, knowledgeable and refreshingly competent staff at the end of the phone; they quickly confirmed delivery vehicles for restricted access, processed a price match and ensured delivery instructions were passed on. They use a helpful and efficient delivery company that delivered to a countryside location following directions and on time. It is rare to find such a high level of customer service and I would not even consider using anyone else in future.

My latest business with you

Hello I would just like to say my click and collect from your your store was fuss free and went smoothly. You supplied exactly what I ordered within the timescale quoted. I am very happy with the results. Thank you very much.

Had a great demo session

Had a great demo session for 3 different pairs of speakers. Paddy did a proper deep dive on my room set up and musical tastes and was very knowledgeable and informative. After an hour of deliberation, he pulled the rabbit out of the hat with the Monitor Audio Silver 100 7g in gloss black. The most important thing to me was feeling good about my experience and coming away knowing what I'd chosen and the reasons for making that choice. Thanks Paddy and Richer Sounds Oxford.

I was undecided between two premium TV sets
I spoke to RS Oxford and they helped me decide. Offered next day delivery at a lower price than John Lewis and with six years warranty, again, better than John Lewis
Knowledgeable staff, quick, polite and offered better price.
What is not to like!

Topnotch customer service

Once again, Kaz from the Oxford store went above and beyond help with my query and helped me sourcing one of the last few Oberon Vokals (outgoing model).

I’ll definitely be coming back for all my future hifi needs 😊

Still top of the game 25 years later...

It's great to see a UK retailer still providing great service and commitment to good products (when so many have disappeared or gone faceless online). I bought by first hi-fi wiht my Dad aged 16 from Richer Sounds Birmingham who helped me with a sweet, easy going setup for not a lot of money. Over the years I've upgraded my way up the hi-fi chain, with great service from RS all the way at various locations - headphones, speakers, cables you name it. I dropped in to RS Oxford on route to town yesterday expecting to just browse and ended up demoing a few new speakers. Paddy knew his stuff and couldn't be more helpful. I went from looking at sub £1k speakers to fixing on some £2k Neat Petites which I'll be ordering as soon as I raise the additional funds! RS has always given no BS advice, great service and solid prices. Sure, you could look on Ebay or Aliexpress but I'd rather spend my £'s with a bunch that deserve it, safe that I've heard what I'm spending my money on.

The absolute best for home tech

Been buying stuff from these guys for decades and there’s a good reason for that. Always ridiculously knowledgeable, answer the most stupid questions with patience and grace, and perhaps most importantly for anyone who’s not already a customer, they NEVER try to oversell!

Happy customer

I was happy with the whole experience of interacting with Richer Sounds. The price of the product I bought was very good and it came with their 6 year guarantee for peace of mind. In making the purchase the service in the store with the manager was both professional and friendly.
