What a fantastic experience! Steve and Alan are two of the finest customer service colleagues to ever draw breath - what the former lacks in hair, he more than makes up for in charm, knowledge and cha... See more

Steve was (still is) brilliant, from the moment I walked into the store. Great customer service, I told him what I liked, he arranged a demo of the equipment within 30 mins. I ended up purchasing a Ca... See more

I went into the store expecting to order something and one was already in store, so took it away immediately. The service was friendly and helpful.

Always an absolute pleasure

Always an absolute pleasure. I visited Holborn store for a quick purchase after earlier reserving the item. What followed was a smooth and pleasant exchange before leaving the store happy.

The chap who served me was new to Richer Sounds but handled everything with aplomb. I have experienced this at every richer sounds I’ve been too, there is no better hifi/av shop.

Thank you

5 star as usual

5 star as usual. This time ordered a REL T5x subwoofer - all easy, good advice given (& taken). Delivery was days earlier than expected (DPD) which made a welcome change from the antics of some of the other delivery companies. Also was very impressed as received a follow up call a few days later to see if all was ok with the unit. Such a good place to deal with.

The staff did not come across as friendly. I asked for a recommendation, but the response felt unwelcoming. I made the purchase out of urgency, but I’m unlikely to return to this branch.

Thanks for your feedback although it's of course disappointing that you felt a lack of friendliness when you came to see us recently.

I will arrange for our customer service team to get in touch and find out more about the visit, so we can both put things right with you, as well as speak to the store manager about your experience so they can learn and improve urgently..

Support your local HiFi store, don’t always buy online

Great store with wonderful staff (especially Alan!), I’m glad they’re local to me and have already been very helpful with a spare part I needed. I will be mindful to buy from them directly, instead of mindlessly going with their online store (which is separate) or any online store like Amazon or whatever.

The staff knew what I was talking about and what they were talking about. This is increasingly rare on the high street.

They were also engaged and pleasant to deal with.

Great advice in-store

Visited Richer Sounds at Holborn and even though the store had limited stock in my price range, I received excellent advice from Daniel, so went ahead and made the purchase online.
The quality of advice is the reason I know I'll return to Richer Sounds.

I’m pleased with the product but there was an issue with the click and collect order which was sorted very swiftly and efficiently once I flagged it up. I think I would definitely buy from Richer Sounds again as I think they offer good value for money and their service is impressive

Outstanding customer service

Outstanding customer service — I was a complete novice to record players and received excellent advice on how to replace the stylus. Thank you so much!

Daniel that served us was very helpful and knowledgeable. He followed up with a quote for some other audio equipment I was looking at.
Would use them again and will contact Daniel when I need more equipment.
