Richer Sounds is the ideal place for the budget-conscious. We like that they offer simple payment plans with 0% to 23.9% annual percentage rate representative. 

On top of this, we’re also impressed that in the event customers find a genuine lower price elsewhere, their Price Beat ensures they’ll offer the item at a lower price, not just match it. 

Additionally, they offer free delivery to almost all areas in Great Britain — which is a great perk. Not to mention, we give a thumbs up to their easy-to-navigate online catalogue, making shopping a breeze.

However, we’re a bit iffy that their products are limited to audio and video appliances only. That said, they do have a good selection within this category — so you’re likely to find what you need.

On the brighter side, we think that their Deansgate location is highly accessible as it’s only a few minutes away from public transportation. 

Sadly, while they are open every day, we do note that they close early.

We will definitely be returning here — especially because of their knowledgeable staff members. We truly appreciate their expertise when they helped us find the right accessories for our speakers — making the whole experience worthwhile.

Great service

“Recently bought Fyne Audio F303i speakers and a Yamaha AS201 amp from these guys – great service and I was on the phone for over an hour to Sam who was incredibly patient – back and to checking all my requirements and compatibility to ensure I had everything I needed. Bonus was the speaker price (discounted with free VIP membership) and an invoice which was sent with a link to pay using whichever preferred method. Oh and RAPID delivery! Thank you team.”

Honest

“Recently bought a TV from Richer Sounds Manchester and dealt with Derek.

Derek was really helpful, he first asked me what I’d be watching on TV and advised accordingly.I had looked at a more expensive TV and he was very honest and advised meagainst it and said I’d be much happier with the one he was recommending.”

VExtra TV World boasts a wide range of products, from audio-video electronics to laptops and smartphones. We think that they’re ideal for those who have a lot to shop for and want a one-stop destination.

Their impressive 35,000 sq ft warehouse ensures customers can find almost anything they need. We’re also happy that the staff members were incredibly accommodating; one even helped us locate a rare audio cable with a smile and a joke.

They’re also conveniently located at Old Trafford — making them easy to get to. However, we’re a bit let down that they’re only open on weekdays which limits our shopping flexibility.

Nevertheless, they’re worth a visit, especially for the budget-conscious. Besides their sale items, we’re delighted that they also offer refurbished products at a fraction of the cost of new ones.

To sweeten the deal, they provide free delivery with no minimum spend, making it even more attractive — earning additional points from us.

Their online shopping experience is also smooth and efficient.  In fact, we found the laptop we were looking for right away, thanks to their excellent search function.

Lastly, we give them a big thumbs up for providing a 12-month guarantee on all their items — including accessories.

Super friendly

Menkind is the place to find unique gifts for him. We like that they offer a wide range of products including gadgets galore.

We think that they’re the ideal shop for video gaming essentials like consoles, virtual reality gadgets, gaming lights, and more.

We also appreciate their well-organised online catalogue, which is impressive given the thousands of items they have available. Additionally, they offer same-day delivery — perfect for those in a rush to get their hands on exciting new gadgets.

For those who prefer an in-person shopping experience, we like that they’re conveniently located at Arndale Mall. It’s a bonus that they are open every day which makes it easy to pop in whenever you need.

Furthermore, we were particularly happy with the attitude of the staff members during our visit. They were incredibly helpful in assisting us in finding the perfect gift for our friend who is a gaming enthusiast.

However, not everyone shares our positive experience. Our surveys indicate that some staff members came across as dismissive when asked about the specs of a laptop.

Nevertheless, we believe that their still worth a try because of their extensive product range and convenient services. Whether shopping online or in-store, we trust that customers are bound to find something for them.

Always competitive prices

“Some cool stuff in here. Always good competitive prices too, especially with the figures. Pops are a bit on the expensive side but there’s a handful of ones I struggle to find other places.

Nice friendly staff each visit too.”

AZ Electronics stays true to their name. Here, we appreciate that they’re covering almost all types of electronics, from TV to smartphones.

On top of this, we give them props as they also offer repair services, even for products not bought there.

Furthermore, their location is incredibly accessible. They’re near the city centre and just a few minutes walk from the St Peter’s Square stop.

Additionally, they’re open every day. Not to mention, they welcome customers early and stay open late which accommodates all schedules — earning plus points from us.

We enjoy visiting their store, where the wide selection of items and friendly staff make the experience delightful. In fact, the staff members were so knowledgeable in recommending the right smartphone to meet our needs.

However, we’re a bit letdown that their online selection is disappointingly limited. Furthermore, unlike other shops in the area, they also don’t offer same-day delivery — which can be a drawback for those in a hurry.

On the brighter side, they have many items on their sale and clearance rack that makes them perfect for the budget-conscious. 

Finally, they also stood out with their 30-day return policy where they will refund your item as long as it’s in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused — with tags, and in its original packaging. 

Best spot

“Very reliable and extremely cheap, best spot in Manchester!”

Bang & Olufsen may have a limited selection, but we appreciate that they focus on high-end and luxury audio and video electronics — setting them apart from other shops in the area. 

Here, their offerings are definitely not for the budget-conscious. However, we think that the 30-day free trial is a compelling perk for those looking to invest in quality.

Furthermore, we appreciate that they also offer free express delivery, with products delivered to your home within one to two days.

They also offer a generous 3-year warranty. For us, this ensures peace of mind with every purchase given the cost of their products.

Moving on, they’re location at 55 King St, Bang & Olufsen is easily accessible. We’re happy to share that they even offer complimentary parking for those who want to visit. 

Although, we noted that they’re closed on Sundays – limiting shopping options for some customers.

On the other hand, the customer service here is premium as well. We called in advance to book a private demo and enjoy a truly personalised experience.

During our visit, we were treated like VIPs, with staff providing an exclusive demonstration of their latest sound system — complete with detailed explanations and a comfortable setting to test the equipment.

Breathtaking

“Their depth of knowledge about the equipment I already own, along with the configuration options I could choose was excellent. In no time at all, i had a Beosound Theatre installed, along with a new TV. Graham and Ian’s product knowledge meant that I was able to retain my existing B&O speaker setup. I’ve got to say, the performance of the Beosound Theatre is breathtaking, as are the looks.”

Neil Jones, Google Review

Excellent

“Ian at B&O Manchester was very helpful when I went into try the wonderful Beolab 28’s which I have been enjoying at home now for several months. The after sales care has also been excellent, I rang on a day they were closed once by mistake, however Ian answered and was very helpful in sorting out the problem.”
