Very impressed with the speed of service and friendliness

Had some old B&O speakers and HiFi system. The whole process was simple - all I needed to do was to email pictures of the items and I was given a quote which was honoured upon collection. James was super informative and friendly and did not try to renegotiate the price when he came to collect the goods. The whole sale was completed within a week of initial contact.

10/10 bought a bang olufsen item online, however they sold the item to a customer in their store so they decided to upgrade me to a more newer model free of charge, I cannot complain. New model is working perfectly fine, and the communication was amazing

Slight criticism item arrived with no instructions so took me a while to get it working,

It was great doing business with Sound Affair. James is a consumat professional, a credit to himself and his company.

The payment for the transaction was so quick, exactly as James said it would be.

I would thoroughly recommend anyone who wants to purchase good preloved Bang & Olufsen products to consider using Sound-Affair before anyone else.

James an absolute pleasure doing business with you and your Company

Replacing our B&O Overture

After experiencing problems with our B&O Overture and realising that the cost of repair from another dealer would be exorbitant we found Sound Affair whilst searching for an alternative solution.
James was helpful and his knowledge and experience convinced us to buy a pre owned same model Overture. The whole transaction was dealt with very quickly and delivery was made within a couple of days. Throughout the whole experience James gave us his time and support and even gave us a part exchange deal which was a bonus! Many thanks to James and his team.

I knew I would be doing business with James!

I knew I would be doing business with James from the first moment we spoke. The transaction was professional throughout with no pressure from him whatsoever. Polite, courteous and very, very efficient which made the whole thing quite enjoyable. His buying price was very fair and I had no hesitation in closing the deal with him. I know where to go should I be in the position to trade again Arthur.

An extremely personable service from a kind team who went the extra mile!

This Christmas I became officially worlds best daughter as I got to gift my dad a pair of Bang & Olufsen speakers. Thank you SO much to James and the team at Sound-Affair to made this magical moment possible.
I called the Sound-Affair team as I was anxious making a purchase on a resale site but they were SO professional, helpful and reassuring. James even hand delivered the speakers to me so I could get them in time for Christmas. As promised, they were in flawlessssss like-new condition (box and everything!).
An extremely personable service from a kind team who went the extra mile!

Straight Forward !

I just completed a deal with these guys and I would strongly recommend them.

Very straight forward and easy to do business with, we managed to complete the deal after a few emails between us then they collected at the agreed time and paid the agreed price instantly on the spot.

Fair prices and friendly service.

Sound Affair asked a very fair price for a pair of mint condition pre owned B&O speakers. Conversion cables were included and the order was delivered quickly and in their original packaging. James' emails kept me up do date at all times and it was a pleasure doing business.
