Bought a cassette recorder/player to listen to and possibly digitise some very old (50+ years) tapes. Received one that had a slight fault. Spoke to Telesales who suggested I take it to a local store.... See more

Perfect Experience

Perfect Experience
Wish all companies were this easy to deal with! Spoke to a really awesome chap in the Guildford store called Roland! Super helpful, very knowledgeable about all aspects of the projector I wanted to know about. Even had an open box item that had a decent discount on and then 10% off on top again for being a VIP member. Also had a courtesy call from Roland a week later to see if I was enjoying the product. A proper old school style setup which you can't put a price on!

RS team are always knowledgeable and helpful

The Richer Sounds team are always knowledgeable and helpful - in this case they recommended an excellent and good value TV in Guildford, allowed us to order it to a different branch (Watford) and then helped us collect it when we got there.

My go-to shop for TV and Audio

As always, knowledgeable staff who will understand what your requirement is and do not try to bluff you into an upsell. All the best products and amazing support. A 6-year warranty and honest price will beat ANY cheaper looking deal elsewhere.

The Web site product specifications could be more complete.

Excelent help purchasing a new television.

We decided to purchase a new television but wanted to know more about the choice of sets and their various features. After looking on line and not finding out much of what we wanted to know, we realized that the only way was the ‘old fashioned” method of going to see one and ask for demonstrations and try-outs of actual tv sets – not possible on line. Going to big popular high street stores is useless as most of the staff in them can hardly tell the difference between a tv and a washing machine! They only ever read the shop labels.
We needed to find better than that so we tried (for the first time) Richer Sounds. We were amazed at the knowledge and helpfulness of the staff. They actually knew what they were talking about. We spent the best part of an hour looking at and trying out different sets with the staff’s help. They could even answer many of my technical questions. (I’m a life long electronic design and development engineer.)
Satisfied with a final choice, we purchased a high spec. tv there and then on our first visit to the shop, which we normally never do. Now we have installed it and used it at home and the whole family are very pleased with the choice that we could not have made without the very helpful staff at Richer Sounds. We were really impressed with the shop which is extremely unusual for us. Well done Guildford Richer Sounds and thank you.

Superb Service as always

I Wanted to add a 'Pre-Amp' only option into my Fosi Audio desktop system, and Richer Sounds had the Fosi Audio ZP3 on an amazing offer. Making it, a superb 'value for the money' option. Great service as always from the staff at the Guildford store, who made sure I was happy with the item, and had all the correct 'interconnects' required for it. Richer sounds is definitely the go-to place for all your hi-fi needs.

Good service, friendly employees

After a small issue, RS were quick to get back to me and Paddy contacted me to swiftly resolve the issue and explain what had happened. I'm very happy with my speakers and buying from RS.
