Great speakers

I got the Audioengine A2+ from Hidef Lifstyle. I'm very happy with this purchase. Their customer service is excellent, shipping super fast and the product prices very competitive.

Everyone should conduct business like this!!

I would like to thank all of the folks at HiDef Lifestyle. I had made contact several times, wanting to turn my whole house into a wireless experience. I asked so many questions and each answer worked toward helping me make the right decision. Thank you all again very much. I would heartily pass your name around to anyone needing anything in the way of hi fidelity audio / video. Thank you so much again...God bless you all.

I hate surprises and there were none.
I got what I wanted and they shipped quickly. The person I spoke to was knowledgable and friendly.

I would buy from them again.

FIrst rate service

The amplifier that I originally ordered from HiDEF Lifestyle was out of stock and they upgraded my order to a model higher in the product line at no additional cost. They kept me informed as the process developed and followed up to make sure everything went according to plan. The amplifier was delivered and sounds great.

Great support and great prices

Great group here, especially Dylan. You can get rock solid product knowledge and great prices. I have absolutely no reservation recommending these guys for audio/video purchases. They beat the pants off the dealers in my immediate area.

Good old fashioned service

While browsing the internet to make a decision on which latest hi fi portable music player to purchase, I found one I was considering but needed some operating questions answered prior to making a purchase. I saw on Amazon this company was one of the sellers. I emailed the company with my questions. I immediately received a lengthy, educational, step by step response back from Dylan, one of the sales managers there. Because he was so helpful to me without even making a purchase I decided to purchase the unit from this store. Dylan even expedited the shipping speed at no extra cost and continued to give me a couple of tutorial emails after receipt. I'm very pleased with my purchase and the excellent service from HiDef Lifestyle.

Excellent customer service and fast shipping

I called to purchase an AV Receiver and the gentleman helping me was extremely polite, helpful, and knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of my technical questions and was more than happy to help me with a special request. He even took care of ensuring that my order was shipped out the same day.

The AV Receiver showed up well packed, safe and sound. It was on-time, and everything about the experience was a demonstration that HiDEF Lifestyle cares about it's customers. In a time when customer service seems to continue to degrade, HiDEF Lifestyle treated me like I was their most valued customer. I will definitely shop with HiDEF Lifestyle whenever possible going forward. Thank you!

Class. Top class.

Good, patient, thoughtful counsel.

My old amp died, and I bought a new one based solely on ignorance and internet reviews from HiDEF on eBay. Arrived promptly, but upon listening I discovered the sound was no match for my speakers, so I called to see about a return/exchange. No problem, said Dylan, and then we went over my options with regards to both my existing system and my not-so-existing budget. What I ended up with meets both criteria superbly. I'll be back.

damaged but resolved

i ordered a pair of dali zensor 1's from HiDef off Amazon. i paid for two day shipping on my dime but sadly one of the pair had a damaged tweeter. i arranged for the speakers to be shipped back on HiDef's dime. in the meanwhile, i decided to upgrade to the zensor 3's and rather than wait, just paid for the speakers outright. while the vendor wouldnt send the new pair back to me two day (100 dollar value) they did ship them back 3 day. at any rate, i received the upgraded pair without issue and shipped the dali 1's back about one week later. the only real issue in the transaction is i had to call back to inquire about my credit (it was missing). vendor said it was in pending status and had to push it through. this was perhaps as many as two weeks after i shipped out the speakers. however, had i not caught it then what? sometimes things go wrong and plenty went wrong in this transaction...but it was resolved mostly without incident so i feel confident in giving them a 4 star. if i could be more precise, i'd give them 3.8 stars for the credit hassle and otherwise but i am happy with new speakers and in the end, it all came out in the wash. no worries. i guess this is part of the adventure of buying HiFi online :)

Top Notch

I recently purchased some Def Tech speakers from HiDEF. Their prices were the most competitive after doing my research. There ordering process was simple and customer service very solid. I will do business with them again.
