Steve was (still is) brilliant, from the moment I walked into the store. Great customer service, I told him what I liked, he arranged a demo of the equipment within 30 mins. I ended up purchasing a Ca... See more

Excellent Service and a Smooth Ordering Experience

I had an excellent experience with Richer Sounds.

Although the product I wanted wasn’t available in the store, the sales assistant found it in their stock system and ordered it for me. Since I was visiting the UK as a tourist, I was hesitant to have it delivered to the place where I was staying. Instead, they arranged for it to be delivered to the Richer Sounds store, which made me feel much more comfortable.

The sales assistant also made sure that I had received the confirmation email before I left the store, which I really appreciated.

The product arrived at the store much sooner than expected, and I was able to collect it without any issues. I was a little nervous about paying for the item before receiving it, but the entire process was smooth, efficient, and completely hassle-free.

Excellent customer service from start to finish. Thank you!

Quick and friendly service

I went into the store expecting to order something and one was already in store, so took it away immediately. The service was friendly and helpful.

Really helpful staff

Really helpful staff, enthusiastic and patient...suspect we ended up paying a hair more than was really needed but the TV and soundbar are of solid quality and everyone loves the goods...just a shame the store is small so you cannot see all the TVs in advance. Nevertheless I think its well worth buying from these guys as they'll make sure you get some decent kit and it stops you from possible false economies online...

Bald Headed Brilliance

What a fantastic experience! Steve and Alan are two of the finest customer service colleagues to ever draw breath - what the former lacks in hair, he more than makes up for in charm, knowledge and charisma. Came in with questions, came out with answers and most importantly the headphones I wanted. If you choose to shop anywhere else, that's your problem - I'll be getting all my hi fi needs satisfied by Richer Sounds Holborn.

Brilliant help and guidance.

Our assistant was perfect, fading into the background while we listened (in the very comfortable studio) but being immediately and helpfully available when we wanted further advice. We were delighted with the models available for trial. The purchase and delivery systems worked perfectly and promptly.

I was just browsing.

I went in to have a look at headphones. I didn’t expect to spend over £200 on a pair, but Daniel was so helpful and knowledgeable. He also gave me quotes for a suitable sound system for an old deck that I have. Great shop.

Amazing service and audio knowledge

So good to have a company where the staff are passionate and the range is enormous. Was great to be able to buy something from their warehouse and collect it the next morning from the shop

excellent customer service

I wanted some headphones and was very specific about pricing and requirements. I called the store and was served by Elliot who gave excellent advice and was very patient with me and answered by 100 questions without mansplaining.
I am looking forward to receiveing this product.

I misjudged the amount of speaker cable I needed, originally buying 3m rather than the 5m I needed, and rather than charge me for another 5m, I was just charged for the extra 2m when I returned to the shop. There was a slight problem with the banana plugs too, and this was resolved with no fuss, and the whole thing was done efficiently and pleasantly, and I'm listening to music right now through the CD receiver I bought a while back at another Richer Sounds, with my new speakers and all is good :-)
