Excellent service

Excellent service, phoned and got great advice on the items I was looking at. Purchased refurbished headphones and they arrived in immaculate condition boxed like new with 3 year warranty. The be performance of the headphones is amazing

Service as it should be

Service as it should be. Answered my chat questions straight away. Ordered refurbished headphones that arrived within a few days and in retail packaging security sealed by Sony as Sony refurbished product. The headphones are indistinguishable from brand new but came at a significant discount. They also threw in a free 3 year Sony warranty. I’ve always been dubious of refurb but never again. Brilliant company, excellent service. I would give more stars if I could.

Refurbished Sony WH-1000XM4 (and great service!)

Had been on the lookout for a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4s for a while before discovering the refurbished sets on the Falkirk Sony Centre. The team there were very helpful, answering promptly to my live chat questions even outside of office hours.
Major shoutout to Dean too - while I was messaging for info about the refurbs the pair I was looking at were purchased and the headphones then displayed as ‘out of stock’. Dean not only gave me an idea of when he hoped to receive more stock, he actually emailed to notify me when they arrived. Amazing service!
As for the headphones, they look pristine. I charged them when I got them and, after two weeks with 1 hour use per day, they still have over half their charge. So the battery is good as new too.

Excellent service, and feel I got a really great deal.

No issues with service but Sony M4 Earbuds are very poor

No issues with the service from Falkirk Sony Centre - item arrived quickly and shows no signs of use. Unfortunately the earbuds themselves really are disappointing, I'm genuinely quite shocked by the lack of depth to the sound. I'm not generally a fan of bass heavy music, but the complete absence of bass from these is startling, there's just no warmth of richness to it. This is obviously an exaggeration, but the thought which keeps popping into my head it's that it's like listening to a tinny portable 90s radio! And yes I have gone through the proper setup (including taking pictures of my ear to be analysed), installed the 360 Reality Audio app and messed about with the various EQ settings.

I previously used Bose SoundSport Free, which cost £90 in 2021 (also refurbished like these). These were £129 - cheaper than from many other retailers, but the deficit in quality is stark.

Unfortunately since there is no discernible fault with the M4s I'm stuck with them. Again that's obviously standard policy with things like earbuds, wouldn't be different from any other retailer. Frustrating though!

Thank you for taking the time to review your purchase. It is unfortunate that you have found the earbuds are not to your liking. Under the circumstances, I would invite you to return the headphones to us. Whether they prove faulty or not, I feel that would be a better solution all-round than expecting you to hang onto a pair of headphones you don't enjoy and are unlikely to use. We will of course issue a full refund on their safe return. I will follow up this response with an email confirming the returns process.

Thanks again for your purchase; it is much appreciated and sorry that on this occasion, the earbuds have not been to your complete satisfaction.

Regards
Dean

Superb Company

Second time using Sony Centre Falkirk and they are second to none. Superb customer service and support also no pressure to purchase. Big shout out to Craig who went through the options available for a new TV. From sale to install was really fast too. Makes a huge difference dealing with a smaller business who are professional and have customer service as a priority. Dean and his team are great to deal with.

Highly recommend. Try them you won’t be disappointed

So very helpful, patient as I struggle with technology - nothing was too much trouble. Also arrived when they said and when they asked if they could change appointment it was so refreshing - can’t recommend them highly enough and would just like to say a huge thank you to Ross and Alan .

Repeat purchase from our local Serafini…

Repeat purchase from our local Serafini Sony Centre.
Knowledgeable, friendly and professional staff, couldn’t be more helpful and no driven push to make sale. A really positive and informed decision on what are high end value Sony products, in this case OLED TV.
Product delivered free same day locally, no issues, no drama and an assurance that should you have any product setup issues, you can contact the team for support or guidance. Highly recommend, so much better an experience than your local Curry’s and the poor sales staff looking to make a sale regardless of whether it’s the right product and with little knowledge.
