  • "They're a solid retailer when selling, but if something goes wrong. Good luck."
  • "Little disappointed to find they had sold the item they said they were holding for me. Communication breakdown."
  • "Horrible experience One of the worst experience I have ever encountered."

  • "Their prices are competitive and initial delivery good but post sales was very poor. I wouldn’t use again."
  • "Since then they've ignored all my attempts to get an update."

  • "The selection and quality of headphones and iems they have on site is unreal! World class!"
  • "Astell and Kern SP1000M DAP and connect it to the equally marvelous Shure KSE 1200 headphones, and zone yourself out into instant audio la-la land."
  • "Fantastic knowledge coupled with an equally amazing listening room made my visit to purchase new speakers very pleasurable indeed."
  • "Very satisfied with my purchase which works nicely with my existing components."

Cons:

  • "The take-home message is if you didn't buy form the store after the demo then they will treat you badly."
  • "Little disappointed to find they had sold the item they said they were holding for me. Communication breakdown."
  • "Purchased a Project X2 fine but it was shipped with a faulty psu."
  • "It's a completely different model and they tried persuading me saying it's the exact same model when it's not."
  • "Not a manufacturer refurbished product (or at least I've never seen manufacturer refurbishing a product that looks like used). Plastic coming off near screen. Not good. Sending back."
  • "Bought a 40 inch Panasonic TV from Aseem at Hifonix. When it was delivered the screen was broken."
  • "Bought a pair of Sundara's from them, you can see the earpads aren't in great condition from regular use over a year which is seems to be down to the build quality."

  • "Call Hifonix to be told, sorry, it is on its way from GERMANY! As soon as it arrives we will ship it next day delivery. Too late. Cancel the order and refund me please."
  • "Ordered a product listed as in stock and next day only to find it was not in stock."
  • "Ordered a Cd player for a birthday gift.after a week of no delivery, I chased the order, to be told, sorry we dont have it in stock, we are waiting for a delivery."
  • "Tried to make a purchase of headphones then called me a few days later to say it's out of stock and how another similar model is in stock."
  • "One star removed due the stock showing as there but actually not, and they don't supply a proper headed and itemised pdf type invoice for purchases like other hi-fi retailers."
