When I win the lottery, this place is number three on the visit list (after going to quit my job and the Ferrari dealership). They've got Hi-Fis to make your eyes water here. Gorgeous sound quality from even some of the cheaper stuff on offer will put you in a bad mood and go home to your I Pod speakers. It's not just about audio here, although that's definitely what they do best. The TV selection is excellent. They're really good at helping to buy you the right thing. I don't know my LCD from my plasma. They were able to explain, without talking down to me, the benefits of each in a way that made sense. Something every shop selling expensive goods needs to be able to do, but a lot can't. Somewhere that deserves having several hundred quid spent at, Richer Sounds offer a better alternative to the big chain warehouses that sell electronics. read more

Richer Sounds - Taken from their website - Electronics Near Me - Bristol, BST

Busta Rhymes is an artist whose name I took a long time to realise what it meant. As slowly as 'bust a rhyme' crept in I also realised that perhaps this place wasn't run by someone called Rich but that the sounds are actually richer. A long standing flagship on Whiteladies rd this is Richer Sounds and this is where the knowledge lies. Many years in the game the more than competent staff know pretty much all there is to know about speakers, amps, sound and all the rest of it. Check online if you want before you come here but they're always full of high-end hardware and absurdly low prices. They'll put you together a terrific bundle and they even have a fully sound proofed demo room to try before you buy. Two thumbs up to Richer Sounds I say. read more

What can I say? Jo, Dave and co at Richer Sounds went the extra mile and more to ensure that our new TV and headphones worked perfectly. We had teething problems with the bluetooth headphones when connected to smart (internet) TV and Jo came to the house and spent an hour diagnosing, resetting and instructing us on use.. that following our need to exchange a Panasonic for a Samsung model (nb - we use MUBI as a TV streamed service, and Panasonic don't currently support it). I tell everyone to buy from Richer Sounds if they can - the quality of service is second to none (even if you may have to queue in the shop sometimes). read more

This has got to be the best hi-fi shop in Bristol. These guys know their stuff - indeed, they're so dedicated to providing the best equipment that they refuse to sell anything other than separates as they insist that they have the best sound. You can get the cheapest stuff here from less fashionable (but just as reliable) brand names, though you can blow the budget too should you want. Either way, ask the staff as they're very friendly and helpful. Away from this but in very much the same vein, they also sell DVD players and surround sound equipment. Either way, if you want top notch gear at rock bottom prices, this is the place to come. read more

Richer Sounds is the place to go in Bristol if you're looking for an electrical appliance of the Hi-FI and TV variety. Lots of the top brands such as LG, toshiba, sony, sanyo, panasonic, mitsu, phillips. They sell a big range of TV's, dvd players, cd sound systems and lots more. The best thing though is the staff. They really know their stuff and are always willing to help and give advice about which items would be best for you depending on your specifications and prices. If only I had the money to actually shop in here rather than just browse at what I might be if I actually had any money. read more

The team here are so helpful! Whatever you need, as long as you can plug it in, they will be able to give you some advise (unless it vibrates and is mostly used by woman, then I'm not so sure, you'd have to ask them). The last thing I bought from them was a HDMI cable to make things look prettier on my TV; they didn't try and 'flog' me the most expensive one for no reason but then they didn't let me buy the cheapest one (hey, they have to make a profit). Because I have mostly been a poor student while I have lived in this area I have only been able to purchase headphones, cables and alike from Richer Sounds, but they always give you the time of day. Unfortunately we know you can get cheap electronics from websites, but you can't get personal, helpful service...unless you can now and the machines really are taking over. I have also observed a local homeless man watching the television in Richer Sounds' window through the night, I hope whatever he was watching it had subtitles and he enjoyed it. read more

I've been buying my Hi-Fi at Richer Sounds for almost 30 years now (gulp!) Prior to moving down to Somerset I used their shop at London Bridge (tiny!!) The Bristol one is enormous by comparison. I've just bought a couple more bits and a DVD/telly for my Dad. Excellent prices and fantastic service. read more

Absolutely the first place I go to buy electronics! Richer Sounds stocks separates for hi fi and home cinema. The idea is that you mix and match your system to get the best to what you can afford and for what you want to use it for. So for my home cinema set up I have Pioneer speakers, a Yamaha receiver and a Gale sub-woofer - so the best I could afford for the technical end and the best I could afford looks-wise for the speakers on show. I went in with what I wanted on a list - sounds like too much work? If you're not into researching gadgets and specs like me then just breeze in here and they will do that bit for you. The brand names may not be always obvious but they will find you the best set up for your cash. Staff are enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and don't push you into a sell. However be warned that stock goes in and out pretty quick so if you see it buy it there and then - and likewise if you don't see anything then try again soon. read more

It has an enviable display of televisions and speakers and their testing room has a window facing out on the street. the display is so good i developed an incessant itch to buy something.My desire was satisfied when we we bought our TV. Once we had started looking for a TV we realised that it is the people working in Richer sounds that make it what it is, we ended up walking out with whopping great TV and surround sound, needless to say they know how to do their job. The only pity is that the Virgin salesman is not as good so we have an enormous TV but the quality of the picture is pretty bad because it is bog standard Virgin. read more

Used to be purely hifi, now looks like a TV show room. Still, you can get good cheap stuff here, just don't fall for their expensive interconnect sales spiel. A £2 cable sounds the same as a £20-£100 cable. read more

We used to shop at one of the Richer Sounds when in London, and were happy to see a branch in Bristol. Over the years, we have purchased music components, DVD and speakers from here and they have proved to be a great place to buy your televisions, videos, stereos and DVD players. The service is usually good, and I've been treated well (some electronics places don't talk to women as if they know anything about the items). I am very happy to recommend them over most of the big chains mainly due to their quality, service and good staff. And, their prices are quite competitive, too. read more

Yes yes yes... You COULD simply go online and buy the same products cheaper, but that really misses the point of places like this. The staff are really knowledgeable when it comes to HiFi and home cinema and will do their best to steer you to the right product(not just the ones with the highest profit margins!) You really do get customer service with this company, just try to remember that they do get really busy at times, they are not trying to avoid you! This of course is one of the reasons why I spent large sums on bits of kit that don't get as much use as they should. Get your HiFi and home cinema kit from here, just don't to do that awful thing where you get all the personal advice and recommendations, only to buy from some online seller just to save a couple of quid. Frankly I find people who do that rude, after all why did you go there in the first place? You've denied someone some commission after they helped you! read more

We had dinner there when staying at the T & C Lodge. Not a culinary adventure but not bad either. The wifey was happy with her burger. Very short wine list but we found something decent. You do not need to venture here for the restaurant especially, but if you are staying at the T & C Lodge or nearby, this is an OK option. read more

My poor poor denon speakers that served me since I was I wee lad of 12 suffered a cruel fate. Hosting a barbecue, I decided to perch the speakers on my windowsill to play music to the people below, but a dubstep wobble too many caused one of them to fall 10 feet onto a stone paving. Traumatised, I sought immediate relief from Richer Sounds. Thankfully they provided it in spades. The extremely friendly staff are passionate audiophiles and were able to pair my amplifier with the best speakers. I was able to save a bit of money as well by asking them if the speakers cost the same amount as online and they knocked £20 off. Yes the TVs and Hi-fis are expensive but you're paying for fantastic service and an awesome knowledge base. If you were really clever however, you could get an estimate and recommendation from staff and google/ebay the same system for less of your hard earned dollars. read more

I have always found Richer Sounds to have some excellent electrical appliances - lots of the top brands such as LG, toshiba, sony, sanyo, panasonic, mitsu, phillips. they sell a big range of tvs, dvd players, cd sound systems and lots more.

When I married my husband I knew he was a bit of a technology geek but when he opted to spend more than £500 on a surround sound system with the wedding money we received I was just slightly taken aback. Firstly, our bed was broken, surely the money would have been better spent on something like that? Secondly, £500 on some speakers???!!! Anyway, this man was not for turning so we headed to Richer Sounds (his name is Rich actually, but there's no connection). They took us through the different types of surround sound until we settled on a modest looking system. They then (for a fee) came and fitted it in our one bed flat. When Rich first put Saving Private Ryan on I seriously thought there was a freak thunderstorm outside the sound was that impressive! Now we've moved to a studio flat I have to say, I'm loving the surround sound system. It does everything the Richer Sounds guy says and makes my music sound immense (currently listening to REM). So thanking you Richer Sounds for some, aherm, sound advice. read more

Excellent customer service with knowledgable staff willing to help out with any of your problems or queries. A must if you want expert advice on HiFi or home cinema! read more
