A very decent unit

I bought this unit after I had tried a couple of systems which proved to be of limited satisfaction, as they did not play all my cds. This unit is very nicely finished, of excellent quality, and plays everything. The speakers are pretty good too, I find the sound perfectly acceptable for my room size, although anyone wanting power sound would be better attaching something bigger and hooking them in via a receiver. I am reserving this as an option for the future, but even as it stands I recommend this unit as good value for money

Steepletone Houston 6-in-1 Music System

While the order was fulfilled smoothly, I've had a persistent problem with the DAB+ radio in that when listening to the radio, system randomly locks up and, the only way to restore functionality is to power cycle the system. I initially approached HiFi Music Systems for support and was redirected to steepletone due to the music system being under warranty, to which I never received a reply. Disappointed to say the least.

Just ok, but not great

The order and delivery process was easy, quick and seamless, all very satisfactory.
The product itself, a Steepletone Houston XP 6-in-1 Music System, I find a bit underwhelming in its performance and handling. The sound from cassette and CD and external sources are acceptable for the price, also having all the available functions combined in one compact system is definitely an advantage. However, the turntable is slightly disappointing. It feels a bit flimsy and you have to put the arm down on the record manually, so it's almost inevitable to scratch the record. The sound is quite flat and tinny, and bass and treble adjustments don't make much of a difference. Another issue is the poor radio reception, the little antenna doesn't help much. Also, something I didn't expect is that you have to choose all the functions via one button, which you have to click multiple times to switch between functions. If you miss, which is easy to do because there are short delays while clicking through, you have to go through the whole list again. This is a nuisance and would have been so much easier with separate buttons for each function. Another slightly irritating characteristic of this system is the ever so slight background noise the speakers emit even when switched off, and which you can hear if it is otherwise completely quiet in the room. In addition, when you switch the system on or off, the speakers make a loud noise, which also is completely unnecessary.
In summary, I'm not unhappy enough to return the music system, but next time would definitely spend a little more money for something with better quality.

Happy customer

Ordering and delivery were seamless. The music system is better than we were expecting from such a compact product, especially playing back some live recordings made on a small tape recorder in the 1980s! Similar satisfaction for old records, which was another reason for the purchase.

How Hi The Fi

Hifi Music Systems were very helpful and dealt with my order quickly and competently. The reason I give 4 rather than 5 stars is not to do with them, but with the product itself. The Fi of the Steepletone Richmond, is not quite so high as the manufacturers pretend. It is true the machine is well made and solid, but the bass and treble controls have very limited response, and in my view Steepletone rather over-estimate the sound quality (and price) of the machine. This is the fault of Steepletone publicity material.

I would leave 0 if I could

I would leave 0 if I could, purchased a Calm Alarm Clock, and the sound has stopped working within about 4 months cost £50. Have emailed twice and rang various times no response at all. Would never order from this company again, absolutely disgusting.

Really good customer service

I had an minor issue with a product and I had to wait a while to hear back from them to start the return process but it sounds like they are not to blame and would of got back to me sooner. They actually went above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction so I have no complaints what so ever. Certainly happy to buy something else here now I’ve found something with bigger sound and more bass on sale here.

The issue I had was when I turned on one of the multi speakers it was suppose to turn the rest of the speakers on automatically but it didn’t work for some reason.
