I really really like this place! I find myself coming back quite often that I have to mention that I found the new 'Beats by Dre.Dre' headphones racked up on the far wall. I was so attracted to the black and red shiny design, I quickly put it on my head and turned up the classic Dr. Dre song that was blasting, because even amidst the chaotic heavy distorted bass that gave me a headache soon after, I was in absolute dancing rapture wearing these new American headphones, and I forgot about all my troubles in the real world. Pretty sure there were several customers looking at me nodding my head incessantly. One guy laughed at how much I was rapping with my hands, and even joined me and tried the headphones himself! LOL. (They WERE playing 'California Love' in the headphones. Coincidence? What a perfect match of a song for these headphones!) So sing with me and turn up the Dr.Dre Bass: "California looooooooove! [gangsta intro melody] California...knows how to party California...knows how to party In the citaaay of L.A. In the citaaay of good ol' Watts In the citaaay, the city of Compton We keep it rockin! We keep it rockin! [Verse One: Dr. Dre] Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness The track hits ya eardrum like a slug to ya chest Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex We in that sunshine state with a bomb ass hemp beat the state where ya never find a dance floor empty And pimps be on a mission for them greens lean mean money-makin-machines servin fiends I been in the game for ten years makin rap tunes.... ......." I spent half an hour just repeating that song, because the sound quality in these new headphones were the highest, sharpest and most clear ever. It kicks the apple Ipod headphones down the gutter, the sound is that good! Pity about the $500 price tag though :( If you don't like these headphones, well have a walk around and you will see there is sooo much else you can get here. New laptops, audio equipment, music CDs, DVDs, big screen TVs - yep, they got it all! Just be prepared for a long waiting line to get serviced. But these guys are quick at the counter, so you won't have to wait too long. Unfortunately I don't have several thousands of dollars to spare, so I quickly walked out wishing I could afford the Dr. Dre gangsta experience. read more

I have been wanting to buy the Logitech MX Master Mouse for some time, about two years. I had only just noticed a big price drop at Officeworks from RRP of about $100 to $45 each. I walked into JB Hifi - where it was stocked for $89 - bringing a print out of the Officeworks page that gave the price. I found the mouse and took 3 to the counter, one for myself, two as gifts. They did however only have the mouse in Cream, as opposed to the Charcoal colour I would have preferred, but nonetheless, it was the same model. At first I was led to expect that the price match would be honoured at the cashier, but after a bit of confusion it was disallowed, as the Officeworks page displayed only the Charcoal coloured mouse. They offered a conciliatory price of $65 each, but as a 17 year old student I simply can't afford them at that price. Disallowing the price match of an item on the grounds of colour is very disappointing, and I hope this situation may be rectified. Returning home, I learn Officeworks has now sold out. It is a good store with kind employees but is unfortunately held back by poor policy and lacklustre management. I can't say I will be as keen to visit JB Hifi in the future after this experience. read more

There's a JB Hifi in just about every city in Australia but I'm a firm believer that Rundle Mall's JB is far and away better, than all the others. In short, I'm a JB Junkie. I love the DVD's. I love the CD's, the Mac section, the cameras and the tellies. Most of all I love the staff in the Rundle Mall store. If you like your sales assistants playing air guitar, having friendly chats with customers or generally having fun at work, then maybe you're like me and Rundle Mall is your number one stop too. I'm sure these guys work their proverbial butts off but in the process they manage to create an air of exuberance and enjoyment. You know, there are marketing companies that would pay thousands to bottle that formula and here it is without too much effort at all. Maybe it's the fact the shop itself is located in a basement that I like it. Maybe it's a hangover from the old David Jones that used to be in this same building that I'm still hankering for. Maybe it's just a cool shop. Nah! Its none of that, it's the cool people working there. They know their stuff and will go out of their way to help you find what you're looking for whether it's a new phone cover or a 50 inch plasma, these guys simply employ the best staff. I don't know if they go through a special training process in coolness or they're trained in exceptional customer service AND they just happen to have an edgy look about them but I find them a pleasure to deal with. read more

JB Hi-Fi - Music & DVDs Near Me - Adelaide, SA

See all

JB Hi-Fi is one of the most profitable Australian companies, stock market-wise, and there's a reason for it. They have compiled everything anyone would want media-and-electronics-wise into one store. You can acquire most any CD, DVD, or video game (current consoles), and if they don't have it in stock, they will certainly try and get it in for you! They stock all Apple products, and PCs as well. TVs, stereos, car cd players, GPS's, cameras, basically every consumer electronic product. If you are carrying a bag into the store they have a security guard who will always check your bags, just a little FYI. read more

JB Hi-Fi - Music & DVDs Near Me - Adelaide, SA

I'm reviewing this place because it's one of the few jb's I have found that will price match almost anything. On a few occasions, I've managed to get them to match a competitors price, where other jb's and the like wouldn't because apparently it was well below cost. This store itself is pretty well equipped, with everything you'd expect in a jb. The staff are great, and are open to a bit of a haggle. They also seem to know their stuff which is a bonus. It's worth a call to them beforehand to check the item is in stock if you are trying for a price match. And always ask first whether they have stock, before you ask if they'll price match, that way they can't play the 'no stock' card. read more

BOOM! Love your work JBs! My headphones had a technical problem after 2 months and it was annoying me, so I emailed the manufacturing company. They said to go into the retailer if the purchase was less than a month ago and I thought to myself 'if only!' BUT...I decided to check out JBs website for more info on their warranty/replacement policy. My item was purchased less than 3 months ago, so when I went into the store (sans receipt haha! but I had my bank statement on my phone) they gave me a whole new headset within 5 minutes, no fuss! I'm so chuffed now! I've got a few more happy weights sessions coming at the gym now! and it's all thanks to JBs! Awesome work! read more

JB Hi Fi always has the DVD you want. Not only that but the staff who work there have the freaky superpower of finding a single DVD under tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands that they have. This store is well stocked and has a very large tablet device display which I found good as I was able to try the iPad mini and Google nexus here. Staff are (as per every JB Hi Fi store) quirky yet very friendly and helpful. Pricing is good when things are on special elsewise quite average. You can haggle a bit here which is good and most staff are willing to beat other advertised prices. read more

It took me a while to warm to JB HiFi. At first I blamed them for killing my favourite CD shops, but really iTunes and the internet was really to blame for that. Their loud yellow and black colour scheme was annoying and they insisted on sticking countless stickers on every single product. But in the end, they wore me down by appealing to the most rational part of my body: my wallet. JB is cheap. Try buying at TV and you will quickly find JB's ticket price is about what you get at Harvey Norman or Myer for cash. Ask the helpful staff and you will get even more off. You can order online too, and then pick it up in store when it is convenient. On a recent camera purchase, they managed to better every other store in Adelaide (well, maybe not every, but at least five) by $100. They even sold me a lens at below cost. I picked up a $1100 receiver for $420 on sale. They regularly have sales where entire product ranges are discounted by 10-30% and will occasionally even discount Apple Laptops. They still have the occasional overpriced HDMI cable or power board, but for the most part, you can be sure you will get a good deal. That alone puts them a long way ahead of most of the competition. read more

Great place. On those rare occasions that I buy physical media (CDs, DVDs), it's usually from JB, and very often from this particular outlet. I do buy quite a few appliances here. They do very good deals on televisions from time to time, and they've got a fairly good car audio section. One gripe is that they don't have stereo adaptors, so when you're swapping out your crappy head unit for a new one, you'll probably either have to cut the loom of your car and solder in the new wiring, or buy an adapter from somewhere else. One minor gripe, but for me it's been a bit of a pain of late. Service is always friendly, but it can take awhile to get served when it's busy. read more

This shop has some great electrical bargains. However they also have the HUGEST range of dvd's you will find. They stock a lot of great titles you can't find elsewhere (or at least I have never been able to). I got some fantastic comedy DVD's here like a couple from the Umbilical Brothers, a Mr Methane DVD and a Strassman DVD (my teenager went through a teddy bear phase and couldn't get enough of Strassman). They also have all the tv series on DVD releases and you can even pre order the really popular ones. Even if you don't need anything or have to get a gift but have no idea what to buy you can always find something in here. And not everything is big and expensive, they have smaller items as well. read more

As far as affordability on electronics go, JB Hi-Fi takes the cake! I bought a 1TB Western Digital external hard drive here on special for a very, very low price when it was priced around double elsewhere. They also do deals on products like Apple, who almost never go on sale or if they do, they don't go down by much and for a short time only. Although that is the case here as well, JB Hi-Fi offer these deals more often than other places. They also have a range of cameras and headphones that I always like to check out for good prices or new products. The service is awesome here; the staff are extremely knowledgeable and know what they're doing without acting like Apple snobs. You have to check out their range of CD and DVDs! These guys stock everything from Jason Derulo to Trivium. I love their selection of music DVDs. Overall, excellent range of stock and service makes for a second-to-none experience. read more

I love JB Hi-Fi because if they don't have it in stock, they will go out of their way to order it in for you. I had a voucher that was given to me as a present, I decided I wanted to get hold of the Time Machine, but I wanted the old school version that I loved as a kid. it took a couple of weeks but they tracked it down for me and I am eternally happy. Big store, stacked with games, dvd's and cd's, huge range in every section, you can get games consoles here too. The staff know what their doing, I was ringing around for a Lana Del Rey album and no one knew what I was on about until I called JB's. It's affordable and I recommend it to anyone, especially for presents, you can find something for anyone. read more

JB Hifi does a fantastic job in bringing pretty much every electronic accessory you can imagine and sticking it under one roof. Not to mention at very reasonable prices. There's a reason these guys stock has soared in the past few years. They're good. The music library here is utterly huge. I've searched for the most obscure album's here and more often than not, they turn up, as long as you know exactly what genre they fit into. There are also the chart toppers of the moment of course, and whatever the alternative flavour of the month is, is always on display. You'll find a similarly mind boggling collection of DVDs here. They specialise in seasons too. I found a box set of Dragonball Z (it's awesome, deal with it) at JB Hifi at an incredibly good price. My only criticism is a pretty lacking selection of foreign films. The rest? Video games, consoles, laptops, headphones, discs, adapters, the list goes on. Whatever you need, you'll probably find it pretty cheap here. read more

I'm obviously alone in my opinion when it comes to this JB Hi-Fi store, and this is coming from a huge movie geek. I buy movies every week! This store is huge. We all know that, it's a given. The store is also in an awesome place and it almost feels like you're going to an underground gig. That being said, the store is just too busy for my liking. I want to be able to find movies quickly and efficiently. I don't want everything to be out of order, I like to know where everything is. The range is incredible, lots of DVDs, CDs, Computers, TVs, you know it they got it. Again, it's just too busy for me. Every time I've gone to buy something I end up waiting in line for at least 15 minutes before getting served. Yes the customer service is good and everyone is friendly, but it's so busy! read more

The will EVENTUALLY honour the warranty but its a lot of mucking around & I managed to bypass the overseas call centre because of the accents & getting the correct numbers across which was impossible. The warranty for any item has been okay. The SONIQ TV kept bleeding so they exchanged it & then got me a third one which was a Samsung. Works fine & faster & is a 50" instead of a 40". read more

Some of the store staff have an awful attitude. Since I am spending a year in Australia, I needed to buy a GPS and went to the Rundle Mall store. The security guard decided to check my bag, with which I complied. Coming from UK this was new to me, but when I asked him why he was being selective, he was outright rude and then said it was because I looked suspicious. The floor manager's attitude wasn't any better, and said dismissively that I could file a complaint online. I know this is Australia and it is not unusual for coloured folk to be subjected to racist behaviour, but didn't expect this would happen to a paying customer..... Never step into this store..... read more

NEVER buy anything from JB HI-FI online!!! I had to wait for my camera for A MONTH to come 300 km from Cairns to Cooktown!!! Emailed them twice - no reply can you imagine!!! Rang them, Melbourne shop checked the order and told me that staff at Cairns Central did not post it when they should have!!! They happily kept my money for a month before they took time to post what i ordered - i cannot believe that this can happen!!! Meanwhile i had family visiting and i had counted on having the camera ... so i missed out on all the photos thanks to that shop's slack staff!!! I am REALLY disappointed - do not let that happen to you - order from better websites!!! read more
