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.

Excellent service

Excellent service. Ordered over the phone and picked up from the store an hour later. They added carrying handles to the box which made my journey back on the tube more comfortable. My son was delighted with the turntable and has started his journey into the world of vinyl albums.

Thank you Elliot !!!

Elliot at Richer Sounds made our phone and email transaction (I live on the Orkney Islands, off the North of Scotland!) completely painless. He was pleasant, efficient, and seemed really to care about the service he was offering. He even followed up to make sure everything was going well. Thank you!

As usual I received exemplary service from Richer Sounds. I wasn’t quite happy with some speakers I had bought so they exchanged them for some other ones with no hesitation. They also made it really easy for me to do this via dpd. If only all companies took customer service so seriously.

Simply the best service and value

The service from Richer Sounds is simply brilliant. Nothing is too much trouble for them, they will head out to see your house free of charge and provide advice as to the right TV and audio solution and will always give the right guidance on what products to buy (not simply the most expensive). They also always seem to have very compelling promotions on offer. The only place to buy a TV as far as I’m concerned. Special mention to Steve who heads the Holborn store in Central London.

Very good headphones, but need to bed them in.

I phoned the shop, they had in stock the Austrian Hi-X15 over ear headphones I had decided to buy, they put them by for me and next day I went to the shop and bought them. That's all good. Five stars. I think the only thing that might have improved the experience would have been if the salesperson had emphasised to me how very important it was to give the headphones time before they perform at their best. They sounded pretty awful when I got them home, unpacked the box and played piano music through them. Thin, clangorous, ghastly. But now, after several days and quite a few hours' use, they have improved immensely and sound really great.

Thanks for the review and I'm really sorry that 'running' or 'breaking in' the headphones wasn't discussed at the time of purchase. It is a subjective issue, but you clearly benefited from it here, so I will make sure I feed this back to the team at the store, and our wider network, to continue to ensure that customers are getting the best helpful tips from us..

Perfect Professionalism

I took a CD player under guarantee in need of repair. No problem and as the unit had been discontinued it was immediately replaced. I have used Richer Sounds Holborn for many years, they understand their products and are always helpful as well as being competitive in price. Bravo!

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service from the team. I ended up buying from another company as RS were out of stock but I'll buy from then again in the future. The service and warranty is 10/10
