Superb level Service -

For most of my life I've used a well know chain for HiFi/TV/ and other items. Having moved to Newcastle what a difference I've noticed when using Richer sounds. The telephone lines are answered by native English speakers, in store the staff are VERY knowledgeable and the pricing is very competitive. Ethan could not have been more helpful. Delivery was as promised.

Seamless Wireless Bluetooth Audio Transition.

I was looking to upgrade my old 90's purchased HiFi to a wireless BT setup due to my audio room refurbishment. I first visited the Newcastle store back in May to explore options for a new record deck and desk speakers. Although I had some ideas of my own from research I was open to suggestions. The Staff were friendly and helpful. Listening to my requirements and offering suggestions. My Sales Adviser Ethan advised me on several record decks and offered the use of the demonstration room to test out a pair of Ruark MR1 mk3 speakers, He explored my particular tastes and gave me a variety of artists to listen to. All in a very relaxed unhurried atmosphere. atmosphere. I explained I was unable to purchase until room refurbishment was completed, but he wrote the spec details down for me and told me to periodically check with the store for stock availability. I duly purchased the items a couple of weeks back, Ethan even helped carry the goods to the car. Excellent customer service all round from Newcastle store. Recommended!

shopped at this store for the first time, and right from the moment I walked in, I was met with a warm reception and staff who genuinely tried to help me secure the specific purchase I had in mind—and they succeeded. I will certainly recommend this store to my friends. Thank you.
