Very friendly knowledgeable staff in store and agreed to source me a remote with a solar panel when the tv arrived without one. 6 year warranty is excellent. Would recommend visiting the showroom as most tvs are on display and you’re welcome to play with them.

Outstanding service and excellent…

Outstanding service and excellent prices, it is a real joy to shop again with Richer Sounds. All the staff in the Cardiff Branch are highly professional and extremely knowledgeable about all the products they sell. Jonathan has given me excellent answers to all my questions.

I purchased a TEAC W1200 double cassette player which has proved to be a brilliant player and a brilliant recorder.

I would strongly recommend Richer Sounds to anyone wishing to build an excellent music or media system.

Early Failure of £300 Audio-Technica Record Player

I recently purchased a new record player (Audio Technical) from a store at the beginning of April for £300 to replace the one I have carefully maintained for many years. A few days ago, the needle snapped during its normal use. When I tried to phone customer service, they told me that the needle was not covered under warranty and they tried to get me to buy a new needle for £49!The response is disappointing, having spent a huge amount on a record player which should have been high-quality and durable. I did not expect for any part of the product to fail so soon. My experience has left me concerned by the lack of quality and reliability of the products and service provided by Richer Sounds.

I’m genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate why you’d be disappointed to be told that the issue described is not covered by guarantee.

To clarify, the stylus or needle is classed as a consumable part, and is therefore excluded from the manufacturer’s guarantee. This is standard across record players, although diamond tipped styli are extremely delicate, in general they can only be damaged by factors such as handling or set‑up rather than through an internal fault with the turntable itself.

We would like the opportunity to look into what’s happened in more detail further of course and see how we can help come to a solution with you. So if you're be happy to get in touch with me, you can e-mail me directly at seniorcomplaintsteam@richersounds.com

Hope to hear from you soon,

Hisense 43" TV and Stand

I made an appointment with Jon, explaining that we weren't going to spend a tremendous amount but due to a bad back couldn't hang around. He was brilliant from start to finish. He is an example of why I'd use Richer Sounds before anyone else.

Good service & knowledge

I spoke with a customer representative on the phone. He helped confirm my option for a Sony Bravia and soundbar was a good one, as well as going for a stand rather than wall mounting. The TV & soundbar arrived within a week. Communication was good throughout.

Really helpful staff. Solution orientated.

I called them to explain I was not sure whether to buy active or passive speakers for my new Brennan amplifier, and they said bring it in and we'll try out a range of options. So I had an hour in the listening lounge swapping a variety of options. The staff were great and I settled on a pair of passive.

I went in asking questions and they were answered. I asked about one particular item and was introduced to a cheaper option which turns out suited me better. They even hooked it up to demonstrate.
I left with a better idea of what I was looking for and a quote.
On returning with some changes to the suggested items there were no quibbles or trying to upsell. Just an offer of help if I needed any at any time in the future.
