In this case I'm not sure if its a good thing that I've never experienced buyer's remorse after making a purchase here, as it explains why I keep coming back. There's something at JB Hi-Fi for everyone from games to computer programs to movies, and all at great retail prices too. Now and then they also have one-off sales where everything in-store is cost price + GST- so always good to keep your ears pinned for that one. It's not the biggest JB Hi-Fi branch but I know my way around. The staff here are quite reliable and the last time I went looking for an HDMI cable, the guy there told me about every single one they had, including the advantages and disadvantages. You don't get a lot of great service in retail these days so I take what I can get, and I was very impressed. Even the security at the store here always make a note to say hello and goodbye to all the customers- a little recognition goes a long way.

This JB Hi Fi is my favourite of all the stores. Why? They have amazing staff. One in particular…read moreknows absolutely everything about Anime and recommends which ones are best if you ask him. I can't remember his name, but flip, he is the best! They are always super helpful and have a great selection of DVDs. If I'm on the hunt for something in particular, they are the most likely store to stock it. (bar one time I was looking for Shutter Island - found it on Queen St) The only department in this store that I dislike is the electronics section. One guy tried to sell me an SD TV as an HD one. Fortunately, I was not the stupid woman he supposed, but a film maker who knows the difference. I smiled at him politely, and walked off. I hope he was just ignorant and not really a con man.

I first discovered JB Hi-Fi on a trip to Australia a few years ago now and since then they have…read moreexpanded to NZ. They have an extensive range of anything to do with music, gaming, computers, cameras (basically entertainment technology specialists). Whenever I'm in JB Hi-Fi they seem to have some really good specials. I purchased some Sennheiser headphones there which have served me well. They have all the headphones out on display so you can listen to music on them before you buy. I keep seeing a lovely pair in there, which are brown, gold and amazing, but my budget didn't quite stretch to them at the time (sadly). JB Hi-Fi Queen St also do meet and greats occasionally when artists are in town - see photo of Ellie Goulding (whose album Halcyon is worth a listen)!

They have a HUGE selection of gaming for Xbox one/360 & PlayStation which is fabulous! They encourage 'trade & save' or to buy pre-owned games: pure genius. I find the security guard highly entertaining & friendly, been here for years so a good go-to if you can't find a salesperson. The staff a bit nonchalant & disinterested (which is a shame), always been the case here. Great opening hours, you can sell your games, DVDs etc if you want some extra cash however (be warned) they pay peanuts. However, they do gift cards to any dollar value. Brill.

What an incredible store for gaming - just wow…read more I was in the area, so decided to pop in to have a look at the overwhelming selection of XBOX 360 games. Good value. Great service. Friendly too. There were a (few) roaming shop assistants that were fighting for my attention, while I looked at laptops and tablets: time for an upgrade! They stock Apple, Toshiba, Acer, Microsoft, HP, Dell, Samsung and other brands I have never heard of. Yeah everything. I found what I was looking for, so paid in record time, with the view of returning to purchase other bargains. Also, the staff know their stuff about technology. Happy customer. I will be back...

There's a big cd section and you can surely find what you want here as they have all the usual suspects; Beatles, Pink Floyd, Sting, Elton John; Van Morrison etc. They have a good back catalogue of all the artists and are reasonably priced. JB Hi Fi probably relies on its electrical to make its profits and they sell phones, laptops, tablets, TVs; Hi Fi's etc. They do some very good deals on their electrical stuff too as we were looking for a TV a while ago and after going to all the other electrical stores, we found the best deal at this place. The staff are quite well informed and are quite helpful if you happen to be technologically challenged like me! If you are looking for a good deal on something electrical or if you are a male who has always loved his music, then this place is worth a visit.

Any music lover will adore Marbecks. You get that feeling of being in an actual place when you visit, rather than in just another cloned merchandising experience. You also get a real Alice down the rabbit hole feeling because of the wonderful range, and it's one place that actually makes me feel excited about buying music. The staff here are excellent and great at fielding all kinds of questions, and very accommodating to importing things especially for you and that kind of stuff. They also have a dangerously tempting range of books and a decent stock of vinyl, so there's a lot to keep you busy once you get there.

Although getting music in these times is a heap easier and often cheaper, I do miss the days of…read morespending hours in a CD store waiting for mum while she does the shopping. The ritual of waiting for an album release and going to buy it the day it comes out with everyone else, made it even more exciting. And I think buying a CD is a real testament to your love for a musician. Marbecks is literally the only CD store I can think of that's still in business, and it is a doozy. Hidden away in Queen St Arcade, i'm sure a lot of people still have no idea it's even there, despite it being around since 1934. But once you do discover it I challenge you to suppress the smile from your face. It is full to the brim with music of all different styles and in many different forms. Top 40 CDs, to classic and rare vinyls. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, it's clear they're massive music lovers and big fans of this dying medium. A great way to spend the day and probably the best place to do it. Give Marbecks the helping hand it needs and go have some fun there.

An assistant came over to me straight away and led me to where the Apple stuff was. After rooting around for about 5 minutes, he told me that they had none in stock. He said if it was for the more up to date ipad, they had plenty of them. I thanked him and left, feeling frustated. About a year ago, I needed a case for my kindle - they said they stocked them on the website but when I checked in the shop, they were out of stock. I don't know if I was just unlucky or whether it points to a deeper problem where they are slow at getting new stock in. I must say the staff are quite helpful there and know a bit about technology. It's a good electrical store but I firmly believe JB Hi Fi is the best for this sort of thing.

I phoned Noel Leeming Henderson where I bought the machine just for someone to come and check if the installation is correct as it cost a lot of money. The lady who answered the phone said she's gonna speak to her boss, came back after five minutes and said I need to come to the store to pay $89 dollars for the technician to come, I said I just bought the machine and installation should be free but she said I need to pay first - I hung up very disappointed. Machine is working well now after getting someone else to look at the machine for free as he didn't do anything but I needed reassurance that the installation is ok.
