I was just browsing.

I went in to have a look at headphones. I didn’t expect to spend over £200 on a pair, but Daniel was so helpful and knowledgeable. He also gave me quotes for a suitable sound system for an old deck that I have. Great shop.

Amazing service and audio knowledge

So good to have a company where the staff are passionate and the range is enormous. Was great to be able to buy something from their warehouse and collect it the next morning from the shop

I misjudged the amount of speaker cable I needed, originally buying 3m rather than the 5m I needed, and rather than charge me for another 5m, I was just charged for the extra 2m when I returned to the shop. There was a slight problem with the banana plugs too, and this was resolved with no fuss, and the whole thing was done efficiently and pleasantly, and I'm listening to music right now through the CD receiver I bought a while back at another Richer Sounds, with my new speakers and all is good :-)

Steve was (still is) brilliant

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 Cambridge Audio Evo 150SE, Focal Aria Evo X No2 and Chord Shawline X as recommended. The system sounds amazing. Thank you Steve!

Great experience

The staff is really great and it is evident they know their stuff. I despise telephone sales but I was relieved when they sent a link to make the purchase.

Almost there this time...

It would have been five stars but the £10 off VIP Club introductory offer didn't work online and I had to call telesales. The person I spoke to was very efficient and polite.

Still a Great Service!

I have been a RS customer for many years. The customer service (in fact, the overall service) is simply brilliant. Your team are knowledgeable, courteous, and a pleasure to deal with. Whenever I have had questions or have needed to amend my order, everything is always sorted out without any delay or fuss. Thank you!

I need to replace my CD player

I need to replace my CD player, I have always used Richer Sounds, so I went to the London Bridge branch. One assistant was speaking to a customer on the telephone which is fine, the other was looking at his phone. After a while I left with the assistant still looking at his phone. I went to the Holborn Branch and OH what a difference. Immediate welcome and they were finding me a new CD player straight away, brilliant service.

Great Sale price and great customer service.

I needed an inexpensive DVD player as I had offered to loan some DVDs to my grandson's school. The films were early silent movies that are not available on streaming sites. Richer Sounds Holborn had a DVD player on sale. I telephoned the branch to get information on the player and the accessories that came in the box. Having decided that the player would be perfect for occasional use in Media Studies I was keen to make my purchase. The Holborn staff were happy to set the player aside and I was able to pick it up later the same day.
The school was delighted as now they can show students films that never make it to the streaming platforms because they are simply too niche to find a large audience.
It turns out we grandparents have become a resource for old films and a DVD player still has a use in the online age.
