Can not fault any part of the purchase process. Polite, knowledgeable, flexible on collection times, great communication. This business is sound in every respect. Very highly recommended.

I’ve just sold my hifi and received the support and assistance to pack and transport the goods to SoundAffair. Just received the news that the system works perfectly and funds have been sent over. A pleasure doing business with James.

5 ORDERS MISSING FROM September 2023!! NO WAY!!

Dear Funs,

Unfortunately I experienced the OPPOSITE. I have 5 pending/"Processing" (paid) orders form September 2023 ...
And the seller EVEN DOES NOT REPLY to my mails from January (I wrote dozens and tried to contact them/him over the phone ... NO SUCCESS). At the beginning of our relationship it was OK, a bit late shipments but at least they/he communicated. I thought something serious happened with him/them, but seeing the current reviews, they are alive and serving customers .... So I DO USE THIS FORUM TO BRING INTO THEIR ATTENTION ... IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO IGNORE C U S T O M E R ... such an unpolite and criminal way!!

I highly recommend Sound Affair

I highly recommend Sound Affair. It was very refreshing to deal with a company that does what they say they'll do, is honest, fair and straight talking.
The process of getting the B&O speaker collected was seamless and very helpful.

Professional and Trustworthy

This was a throughly well managed process. James responded quickly to my enquiry, quickly valued the items I wanted to sell, collected them at a pre-agreed time and the whole process was seamless. He checked over the products himself, transferred the agreed price and was very personable and trustworthy. If you have pre-loved B and O products you want to sell, then I'd happily recommend this company based on my experience. Thank you James.

No fear for the B&O newbies

Since I was a lad, I had wanted to own a BEOSOUND 3000. I recently achieved this with the help of James. Being a significant and one-time purchase, I was willing to buy confidence and quality for a premium price. By contacting Sound Affair I also benefited from helpful and patient advice in decoding the (at first quite alarming) model options, settling on a system that is a treat for the eyes and ears. In the grand scheme of B&O-level price tags, this was a ‘low-budget’ purchase, but the service was top-notch all the way. I did end up spending twice what I could have taking an eBay gamble, but for me the confidence and quality was worth it.

Sound-Affair: one of the best around

I've many years of buying, renovating and using Bang & Olufsen products, I truly recognise a good company when I see one. Sound-Affair is one such company.

From the professionalism of their Web site to the high personal qualities of dealing with customers first-hand, I can highly recommend Sound-Affair and their willingness to do all they can to assist clients both sell & purchase B&O products.

Strongly recommended. A+++

Sale of B&O sound system

Having just sold my B&O system this week I was more than happy to leave a review. James runs a very professional, efficient and friendly company. From my initial contact there was a 'no pressure' approach, full guidance was given on how the sale would be managed, should I wish to go ahead and the service that followed exceeded my expectations. James made contact as promised, visited on the scheduled date & time and kept me totally informed throughout what was going on. There is always an element of concern when contacting somebody through on-line search but I have no hesitation on working with James and his Company again should the opportunity arise.

Beolab 3 Speakers : Very Happy Simon - Thank you James

I have recently purchased a pair of Beolab 3 speakers. The speakers arrived as promised & they sound and look absolutely amazing. Service from James was first class and if I ever get the opportunity again to purchase Bang & Olufsen equipment / products I will not have any hesitation in returning to James and Sound-Affair. Thank you James !!

James was great! The whole process very easy, he came to pick up the item, money was in my account in 5 minutes. Very friendly and professional. If I had anymore B&O I would definitely call them again. Thank you!

A truly first class service

Not only was I utterly delighted with a pair of second-hand B&O4000 speakers that I purchased from Sound Affair - I was struck by just how helpful they were when a small issue developed a few months down the line that was difficult to diagnose. They were hugely helpful in eventually tracking the issue down and getting it put right. Truly a first class experience - so thank you.
