The Warranty is worth the paper it's written on!!

I bought my television from a different Richer sounds shop in London (my second TV from the company) but after verifying my details Ben did not hesitate to help me with replacing a faulty remote on the generous warranty offered with my TV. No fuss, no bother, on its way to me within 24 hours. I have always had good service with Richer Sounds, thank you Ben!

First Class service

Both the online and in-store service (telephone call in this instance) was exceptional. I had a number of questions regarding the differences in my potential choice of purchase, and the people I spoke with couldn't have been more helpful.

Knowledgable sales staff

Knowledgable sales staff, experience and knowledge is lost on a lot of outlets these days but in Richer Sounds the purchasing experience is a pleasure.

Couldn't have had a better experience

Couldn't have had a better experience. Someone helped me as soon as I entered the store and took me through the different options for what I was looking for (a turntable and speakers). They did me a great deal so I could stick to my budget, and I got something much better than if I just bought a package online. Plus everything I wanted was in stock so I managed to take it home the same day. Would definitely recommend Richer Sounds.

We’re really pleased to hear that you found the colleagues advice helpful but apologies the set up of your new item proved challenging. Turntables can sometimes be a little more involved, particularly for first‑time setup, so I'll check in with the store to remind them to always explain to customers in the event of a problem to call the store for help.

If you are still having issues of course please do get in touch, otherwise I hope you are happy with the quality of the system and thank you again for your custom.

I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care, attention to detail, and overall service provided by Richer Sounds. From the very first interaction right through to after the purchase, the experience has been nothing short of outstanding.

A special mention has to go to Jim, who was incredible throughout the entire process. His depth of knowledge and genuine passion for what he does really stood out. He took the time to fully understand what I was looking for, offered thoughtful and tailored advice, and ensured I felt confident in every decision.

What really sets the experience apart is that the support didn’t stop once the purchase was made. The aftercare has been just as strong—responsive, helpful, and clearly focused on making sure everything continues to perform exactly as expected.

It’s rare to come across this level of professionalism combined with such a personal touch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Richer Sounds to anyone looking for not just great products, but a truly exceptional customer experience.

In addition for my thanks to Jim I would also like to thank Marc for his outstanding commitment to my needs in purchasing this projector and screen. He is always on hand to assist and guide me through each part of my set up

Great serivce at the Southampton branch, the staff are so friendly and can't be more accomodating.
The products they sell they stand by and I felt at ease talking through the options. They didn't push for a specific sale either, just made sure I was making the right choice and I felt I had the opportunity to test and be satisified myself that I made the right choice.
It's always good to feel like I'm supporting my local store as well.

Thank you Ben.

Richer Sounds listened to our requirement for speakers to replace our thirty year old ones and suggested several options, one of which we purchased at a very reasonable price and we have been very pleased with them. Ben was extremely helpful and Dexter was an impressive support.
