I like a shop where the staff know what they are talking about, know their own stock and are keen to help the customer. I never go elsewhere for audio products.

I have had 2 tvs in 5 days

I have had 2 tvs in 5 days . The 1st did not support headphones which was important to me . The 2nd, I could not fit the stand because the holes in the casing did not line up with the screw holes. I sent it back. I got my tv from Currys.

Great service as always

I phoned the store to ask if they had my item in stock. They offered to hold it for me, and did so even when I was a couple of days late collecting. I love Richer Sounds! Wouldn't go anywhere else.

I had a great experience with Dan at the Holborn Store. He managed to upsell and convinced me to purchase The EVO 1. Originally i was set on getting the Naim Muso which is incredible.
His attention to detail and overall service swayed my opinion!!

We'd love to hear from you!

Firstly, thank you for shopping with Richer Sounds.

Your opinion matters (no, it really does!).

Whilst it is reported that 78% of people say they receive too many survey requests, and it feels like their feedback doesn't register, at Richer Sounds we're listening - and we take every single comment and review seriously."

Excellent service

Went looking for headphones for my son's 18th birthday present and the manager allowed him to trial a couple of pairs in the demo room. One he had already tried somewhere else but was needed as a reference to the other which we hadn't seen anywhere else on display.
It helped him opt for a model not out but available, which upon checking was price matched on the spot to another retailer, no quibble.
Very professional and keeps Richer Sounds somewhere I will always check out and visit when tv and hifi needs arise.

Fantastic advice & brilliant headphones!

I saw they had the headphones I was looking for in stock & they couldn’t have been kinder and more helpful with answering any questions I had. Cans came the next day. Brilliant!

Fuller and better guidance needed

The instructions with my Freesat box were minimal and I’ve spent the last few days wrestling with it - still can’t get it to consistently record two programmes at once. Hoping I can eventually figure it out without having to bother the shop staff (who were really helpful when I bought it).

Thank you for the feedback, I was sorry of course to read of the installation difficulties you've been having, and apologies that the product instructions were unsatisfactory.

I will arrange for our team to follow up and check if all is now resolved or whether you need further assistance..

I had a really great experience

I had a really great experience at this shop! So friendly and helpful, taking their time to find exactly what I needed — my cartridge, Cambridge gear, and a cable. They patiently explained everything and answered all my questions, making the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. Felt really cool walking out with everything sorted. Highly recommend!
Thank you !!!
