Easy to buy over the phone and reassured by their expertise. Delivery was super quick and there were no issues in swapping out a damaged lid when my player arrived.

Helpful understanding staff

Helpful understanding staff, Richer Sounds Oxford are very professional.
I was not certain of which speaker to purchase but with the good advice from the staff I purchased the Wharfedale Diamond 12 set. Delighted with them.
Thank you.

Knowledgeable service, good price, excellent post-purchase support.

Excellent purchase experience - Paddy provided lots of info to help us decide between various TVs we we considering. Not in stock at the branch, but delivered direct to our home the following morning - impressive!! Setting up the various functions posed a few problems, but a couple of phone calls eleicited the info we needed and now we are all set up and enjoying our new viewing SMART TV viewing experience. Definitely 5 stars for Richer Sounds and the Botley team.

Cambridge evo 150 open box

Bought a Cambridge evo 150 open box. Great price, new and unused, buying process was quick and easy by phone. Product delivered in 2 days and it’s great. Still offered the free 6 year warranty.

I knew what I wanted

I knew what I wanted, so did not need much help, and the process was very smooth. Only niggle was that the TV did not come with mounting screws for the wall mount, which I though was a bit unusual.

Buying new HiFi after being away for many years.

Not being technically 'up to date' with all things audio I needed to speak 'face to face' with a real human being and not a robot. I had already been impressed with You Tube video's from Richer Sounds, so I called in to my local branch in Oxford. I was greeted by Ash who listened carefully to my requirements and then suggested I leave it with him to come up with solutions. He got back to me within a day or two and gave me his recommendations. I checked out the equipment online and it did look like what I was looking for. I got back to him and he arranged a demo for me. I was happy with what I saw and heard and agreed to purchase the equipment. In setting up at home I did come across a problem when attaching my existing ProJect turntable. I emailed Ash with my problem and he worked through the matter with me. Eventually I found the problem, nothing to do with the new equipment, and the matter was resolved. He, and the other members of staff I spoke to, were friendly, knowledgeable and patient, much better than dealing with a robot, or large company's that only have an interest in selling and not customer service. Well done Richer Sounds, you have a new fan.

Brilliant upgrade advice and help with set up

Staff listened to what I wanted to upgrade and advised a unit that, in their opinion, would integrate well with my existing set up. When I subsequently returned a few days later with technical queries about set up, the store manager Kaz, painstakingly took the time to clearly explain the intricacies to me. His help enabled me to complete full integration over the next few days. I was impressed with his technical knowledge without resorting to manuals. Well done!
