Our recommended products reviews should be easy to understand and tell you what you need to know to decide if it is the right model for you.
But we're realistic, some of the kit is complicated and expensive and you may want some more info or reassurance before buying, so we offer this free, unique service to ask one of our expert reviewers for some (no techie nonsense) personalised information, by video, telephone, email or our new chat feature.
To get up to 15 mins of free, personalised advice (you may just have one question) there's a few simple steps below that you need to do to book a date and time with one of the reviewers for a relaxed chat about the models that you are interested in. For example you may want to now how well it will fit in with an existing system, or whether it is easy enough to operate by anyone in the family.
Rest assured, our reviewers are well versed in answering queries, from the simple to the complex, they understand peoples' concerns and will give you sound advice (ha ha) that is easy to understand, whatever your level of technical interest.
After the consultation about a product, the reviewer will ask you if you see it, try it, buy it. If so, we'll put you in touch with a local specialist retailer to take care of all of that.
And at some stage, we'd appreciate feedback on how this part of the process went for you.
Before the consultation you will be asked if you are ok with the session being recorded, so that we can use it to improve the service. If you prefer not to have it recorded, thats not an issue.
We'll keep your name on email on our data base to keep you up to date with Sound Advice news and events, but again, if you want to opt out of that, it is your choice.
