Smooth experience getting money for old kit
I had some old kit that was no longer required (and in fact required a new laser) - instead of binning it, I found Sound Affair - James gave me a quick valuation, arranged collection, and paid the agreed sum promptly. Great comms, good solution, easy to deal with. Thanks
An extremely professional & honest company
Best Bang & Olufsen resell shops I have come across. James was so knowledgeable and professional and easy to communicate with. He helped me upgrade my system seamlessly and was very correct and fair with the exchange. I highly recommend this company, a breath of fresh air these days as so many companies try to always milk you but James was absolutely honest and knew what he was talking about. Thank you James for your patience with me and invaluable advice.

Excellent Experience
I sold a pair of speaker brackets to James at Sound-Affair. He was very quick to offer a very fair price and to credit by bank account. Highly recommend if you wish to sell your unwanted B&O items.
Excellent service.
James was very polite. Price was fair, instant payment via bank transfer. Excellent service, would definitely recommend him.
We have used Sound-Affair twice now
We have used Sound-Affair twice now. James gives a first class service he is polite and fair. He gave honest feed back on our B&O’s and a great price. Both systems were over 20 years old in good condition but now unused. James paid by credit transfer and the payment was instant. They will now go to other people and homes and once again be loved as B&O should be. Thank you James for all your help.
Easy to re-sell our non utilised equipment
Great communication from 1st enquiry and prompt and accommodating collection of the B&O equipment we wanted to move on to another home. Thanks James
Would recommend
James was professional, responsive and accommodating. I felt I got a respectful and fair price (better than some others had offered) he was polite, efficient and I would recommend sound-affair services. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Service and quality of products/customers
I can honestly say that it was a pleasure dealing with this company and of course the brilliant James. The quality of the products are excellent and they arrived in superb condition with everything included that I needed to set it up. As for James - he is also brilliant and obviously care for his products and customers equally - nothing was too much. I dealt with them by email and also a phone call and nothing was too much trouble. I would choose them again in a heartbeat.

Sold my beogram 7000/4500 turntable to sound affairs,a good price agreed,
Equipment picked up by james at a convenient day and time.
Money transferred and recieved straight away before james left my premises.
Very professional and trustworthy I would definitely deal and recommend these guys again no problem.
Very Happy Smooth transaction.
It was time for my Beovision and beolab28 speakers to move on. Sound affair made me a good offer for the lot.
I took into account that it was a simple transaction, that they would drive 12hours to pick it up pack it etc. That they would service it, take good quality photos, take time to display it sell it with a warranty, Pack it and delivery to the new owners and make a fair profit on it. It was a good offer and i was very happy to accept it.
On the day James arrived on time, was very friendly and cheerful. Was happy with the kit and quickly paid the full amount into my bank account.
Very happy, everything went smoothly and will deal with them again.
Very friendly and professional, excellent service.
Had several pre-loved Bang & Olufsen items to sell, all of which were over 20 years old. Received the best offer from Sound-Affair, so arranged to sell to them and deliver the items to them which I did this morning. I would rate my whole experience as 5 star plus. From my first contact with James, till this mornings delivery, everything was done in a very friendly and professional way. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Honestly brilliant
Honestly brilliant - AI suggested this company might be interested in my old B&O cd player that had been under a blanket in my garage for about 5yrs! Finally, we’re doing a big reorg and decided to “rehome” it. I contacted them with they requested photos, the response was quick, clear and positive. James sent me a generous valuation, i accepted - he drove to collect the equipment a few days later and made a bank transfer to me for the agreed amount. Couldn’t have been a smoother or easier process. Highly recommend.
Purchase of Beosound Theatre
I recently purchased a Beosound Theatre from James at Sound-Affair and had an excellent experience. James was outstanding in his communication—he responded to all my emails and questions quickly and thoroughly. He guided me through the process of international shipping and ensured that my equipment arrived promptly and in perfect condition.
The product was exactly as described on their website, and it both looks and sounds fantastic. I am very happy with my purchase. I would definitely work with James again and highly recommend Sound-Affair to anyone considering a B&O purchase.
Purchase of BeoCenter 2300
From the initial contact, I received very professional advice and customer service.
I ordered a BeoCenter 2300 and when it arrived in Perth, Western Australia, I sent the following email to Sound Affair-
'I received the BeoCenter 2300 today and I wanted to thank you for the excellent customer service, the way it was packed and the DIN to RCA connector.
The player is in superb condition.'
I have no hesitation in recommending Sound Affair to anyone wishing to purchase preowned Bang and Olufsen equipment.
Great costumer service and attention by…

Happy ending
I wanted to replace a defunct BeoSound 3000 with a secondhand one which could connect to my B&O speakers. Lots are offered for sale, but I opted to pay a bit more in order to have the 1-year warranty provided by Sound-Affair. This turned out to be a good decision.
The BeoSound that they supplied (actually a 3200 not 3000) malfunctioned - the sliding doors didn't work properly. James advised helpfully over the phone how I might fix this, but without success, so I re-packed the BeoSound, and James arranged for it to be collected from my home and couriered back to their workshop.
After some delay over New Year, the machine was eventually returned to me, and so far it all works perfectly. Everything done under warranty was free of charge.
So although my dealing with Sound-Affair was a bit long-drawn-out, it was very satisfactory in the end. James is friendly, conscientious, patient and knowledgeable, and he gave me some useful technical guidance. Sound-Affair are not cheap but in my experience they are good.
Customer service at it's best
Customer service at it's best. James was very helpful and dealt with an issue in a prompt and professional manner. The 12 month warranty is definitely why I bought from him.
I would recommend S/A to anyone looking for good quality used B&O equipment.
Excellent, smooth experience
Sold my B&O equipment. James was very kind, picked everything up promptly, and sent the money straight away. Smooth, trustworthy, and professional. Highly recommended.
Great advice and service
Really pleased with the service and advice. I have an old B&O Beocentre from 1986 and needed to get a new stylus. I was really worried where and how to get a replacement. I phoned them and their advice was really good and had a new cartridge delivered within 7 days and its fitted and sounds brilliant - really pleased with their service and can thoroughly recommend them.
