Premium Sound - Bang & Olufsen, Bose, Sonos, Loewe reviews
51 I have tried to be nice and patient but the pre owned turntable that was supposedly serviced and check by a qualified Bang & Olufsen tech arrived and the platter wasn’t level and 33” records scraped. They said it was tested in store and tried to deflect. I didn’t get a straight answer until I asked if they had tried a 33” when I found out they had only played 45’s. Also I can’t see how it could have played well if the platter wasn’t level. The stereo image would have been skewed one way due to different pressures on the stylus.
They (multiple different people at the store) asked me many times if I had released the transport screws which of course I had.
Finally they agreed to take it back and repair it.
It has just been returned to me with new scratches. Missing cables that I sent it back with and a bit of broken plastic just sitting on the platter.
During the process I asked them to keep me up to date with what was happening. Just a call or email to say they’ve got it, identified the problem and it’ll be repaired etc. Common courtesy I’d have thought. Only once did I get a call and that was after I pushed hard for information.
So now I’m sitting here looking at a turntable that I can’t test/play without the appropriate cables. A broken bit that god only knows what that’s from plus some additional scratches. And given their lack of contact through this process I am stressing, wondering if I’ll even get a call back to advise me what they intend to do.
Edit - Thought I’d take the plunge and release the transport screws just to see and lo and behold, the platter still isn’t flat and it still scrapes.
I am a Bang & Olufsen fan. Have been for many years but I’m not a fan of this particular dealer.
I finally received a call back after an hour and they are just going to give me money back. Which sounds like a good outcome but it’s not for me. I still don’t have the turntable. The service has been appalling with their lack of service & communication.
Would be 1 star but they did ship it quickly both times so 2 stars.
This review is from my point of view and am happy to be corrected by the dealer if they think that the above is not factual.
Premium sound are nothing less than amazing. I've reluctantly asked them to do things with my order, they happily accepted. Bang & Olufsen is simply class, the sound notes are simply above the rest, and will happily come back for service. Thankyou
These guys are the best and they have the products to match, very easy to deal with, thank you
Ordered a Devialet Mania from this store The process was very smooth. Received the item in a few days and the product works great. Would definitely recommend.
Exceptional service by Pat from Premium Sound! Pat was extremely pleasant, polite, informative and patient!
We appreciated Pat's specialised service including Pat's vast knowledge of the entire range of B&O and Sonos speakers and his patience to allow us to decide on the most suitable product (which took a significant period of time).
Highly recommend!
Just love these guys! Recently bought 4 new Sonos for our new salon and Marcus went above and beyond to help us with buying the right ones and ordering them in for us and was very helpful with the setup which was very much appreciated. Great purchase and excellent customer experience. Will definitely be my first place of call for any audio equipment in the future. KOH
Really helpful and knowlegeable advice. Excellent service - good prices and everything has always arrived quickly and well packaged. After sales support has also been terrific. I dont live anywhere near Melbourne but I would recommend them to anyone regardless of where they live. I have bought a lot of gear over the years and this is one of the best retailers I have ever dealt with - highly recommended.
Store was setup perfectly to accommodate wide range of products with good prices. Customer service was very professional over the phone and in-store. Product was well packed above the default packaging.
The customer service from Hané, Jonathan and the rest of the team was fantastic. In particular, Hané was great in helping me choose the best Sonos product for my apartment. She kindly provided an in-depth Sonos tutorial and helped me set up various music services to maximise the use of my Sonos Five. The team provided great prices but it was the patience and service that was most invaluable. Thank you!
I ordered my Sonos Arc from this store which was much cheaper than any chain stores. I met the guys at store which were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. I highly recommended this place if you are looking for any sound system, having questions or may even make a phone call to ask the best prices.
Definitely will return to complete my sound system.
Thanks
Great product range. Good knowledge. Helpful. Love this shop.
Pat is so knowledgeable and helpful.
Rob, Jonathan and staff are excellent. They recently helped me out with a motorised stand for my Beovision 14. Which didn't last long because it soon went up on the wall with a wall stand they also hooked me up with. Thank you for your help.
Also, they recently installed my Beovision Harmony and no words can describe the professionalism and how amazing the install experience was.
Looking forward to dealing with you again in the future.
Really friendly and knowledgeable service. Great space to sit down and try out various headphones and speakers. Got a good price too. Will definitely shop there again
I placed an order of the Audio Pro Addon C10 as it was on special. Then it was out of stock for the white colour so I called twice to check on my order. The store then offered a free upgrade to the newest version C10 MKii and it was delivered within a week. Pretty happy but would have been better if they could give me an update regarding my order. Overall still happy with experience and customer service. Btw, the speaker sounds awesome compared to my Bose Minilink!
Called to ask for advice on my Sonos System - Jonathon could not have been more helpful, absolutely magnificent service.
Purchased Bose products from PS last week 01/22 The service is great. Especially Rob who looked after me on a trade in. All other staff were very helpful. Prices are always best you can find. Will be back for new Bose models. Thanks again.
Product was in stock and the best price anywhere. They even carried the goods to my car. Good old fashioned service with great prices. Five stars for sure!
Hi Jonathan,
Would you please give me a call back to finalize my order?
I've tried to contact you from weeks ago. Please do NOT ignore my calls and texts.
Thanks for an excellent personalised customer service experience.
Dealt with Rob the Store Manager & Kira.
Thanks both of you for your awesome follow up, advice and price.
Stay Safe, Stay well!
Just purchased my 2nd Bose S1 Pro online w/ Afterpay, website was easy to navigate and closed my transaction in minutes, thanks!
