Fantastic service. Well informed staff and incredibly helpful at tailoring your needs and price range to the correct product. Would always buy electrical equipment off them rather than online.

I always use Richer sounds because of…their knowledge and expertise

I always use Richer sounds because of their excellent service, products and value.
This time I purchased a CD/Receiver, which, after a short time, proved to be faulty. When I rung up it was instantly "Would you like to replace it or exchange for a different model" I exchanged for a different model and it was with me in 3 days.
I also love their knowledgeable staff who give you advice without making you feel like an idiot when you don't understand technical terms.

Hifi System

Bought a hifi system from the Chester shop, Adam was brilliant, I explained what I was after, what type of music I listened to and Adam advised accordingly. Excellent service.

Great service and a great product

From the first minute of my initial telephone contact,Craig,at the Chester branch, was extremely helpful.He offered to put together the two CD players I was considering,despite them not being currently available at Chester branch.As promised he contacted me when he was confident they would be onsite.We arranged a demo at a time that suited me,and he had set everything up for my arrival.He gave me coffee and left me to listen,occasionally checking I was okay.There was no pressure.After switching from one to the other it soon became evident which one I would be taking home.The unit I chose was an “open box “item in immaculate condition, which was offered to me at a very fair discount.I am currently enjoying my new acquisition in my existing system,and all is well in my world.Thanks to everyone at Chester,but especially Craig,for who it seems,nothing is too much trouble.

Very friendly and professional

Very friendly, helpful and informative staff. Deputy Manager Jon and his Manager at the Chester branch even carried some of the store available items out to my car. The rest were delivered in double quick time the next day.
Richer Sounds service was faultless.

Almost always great service and always competitive pricing. The one time the service was less than stellar they kind of made up for it and I was happy again.
My last 3 TVs and AV receiver were purchased with RS which I think says everything.

Great experience

I had an absolutely outstanding experience at Richer Sounds in Chester. From the moment I walked through the door, the service was nothing short of impeccable. The team clearly knows their stuff — every question I had was answered with confidence, clarity, and genuine enthusiasm. It’s rare to find a place where the staff combine deep technical knowledge with such an easygoing, friendly approach.

The atmosphere was brilliant too. Plenty of good banter, no pressure, and a real sense that they genuinely care about getting you the right setup rather than just making a sale. It made the whole visit feel relaxed, enjoyable, and surprisingly fun. Came away with 2 Denon speakers that suit my requirements perfectly.

A special shout‑out to Ewan who was absolutely superb throughout. His knowledge, patience, and ability to explain things in a way that actually makes sense were top‑tier. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism and personality, and he made the whole experience feel effortless. Honestly, he was brilliant (give the man a pay rise or at least a gold star 😝).

Overall, the entire visit was second to none — one of the best retail experiences I’ve had in years and well worth the trip from West Wales. I can’t recommend Richer Sounds Chester highly enough.
