Audio Trends
reviews and complaints

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share my experience with Audio Trends. I recently purchased one of their units and I can honestly say it's amazing. Compared to the cheap plastic stereo unit we had before and the old mono valve receiver we used for over three decades, this one is a real game-changer.

What I love about this receiver is how reliable it is. It brings in the sound from the TV and radio with such clarity, it's like you're right in the room with the performers. The design is simple yet stylish, bringing to mind the Bauhaus movement which I really appreciate. But what really sets this receiver apart is how fantastic it sounds. It's clear, deep, and really adds an amazing dimension to whatever we're listening to.

I also just want to touch on Audio Trends' attitude and ethos. I can feel the passion behind their products and I really appreciate that. After all, when you're paying for something, you want to know that the people behind it really care about what they're doing.

Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase from Audio Trends and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality audio equipment.

Cheers,

I spoked with Stephen from Audio Trends and I gotta say he was awesome! This guy really know his stuff, and he was very helpful right from the start. Stephen even went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction by providing me with great follow-up service. I can tell you, I will definitely be buying from Audio Trends again.

So, I just received the iPod dock that I ordered, but I can't really tell you if it's any good just yet. I'm still waiting on a replacement console from Bose in Sydney, so I haven't been able to connect or use it yet. But, I'm sure it's going to work great once I finally get everything up and running.

I have to say, though, I'm not too worried about any issues that may come up. I have a lot of confidence in Audio Trends and their representatives to back up their products. And, with the awesome service I received from Stephen, I know they are a company that I can trust.

As soon as I get my console, I'm definitely going to be in contact with Audio Trends again. I want to talk to them about some other equipment I'm considering purchasing. They really know their stuff, and it's great to have a company you can rely on for expert advice and service.

I've gotta say, I'm really pleased with my recent purchase from Audio Trends. I've been a fan of Bose equipment for ages now - I love the quality of the sound it produces! I've always wanted to own my own Bose system, but I never quite managed to make it happen until now.

Before I bought this system, we had a Sony Mini HI-FI system that we bought back in 2000. It served us well, but the sound quality couldn't quite match what we were looking for. We're big music lovers - not just classical, but popular music too - and we really wanted something that would give us the sound quality we were after. And that's exactly what we got with the Bose Wave IV system!

Honestly, I was really impressed with the pricing from Audio Trends. Their prices were super competitive compared to what I saw on the rest of the market, and they even offered free delivery! I mean, come on...who doesn't love free delivery? It definitely played a big part in our decision to buy from them.

And even though we're going through some tough economic times right now with COVID-19, I didn't think the delivery time to my home was too bad at all. All things considered, it was actually pretty reasonable.

Overall, I'm really happy with my experience with Audio Trends. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who's looking to get their hands on some great quality sound equipment at a decent price. Here's to many happy years of listening to awesome music on our Bose system!

Listen up folks, I gotta tell ya about Audio Trends. Now, I'm no tech expert, but I do know a thing or two about running a cinema. See, I own and operate CinemaWorks in Queensland, and let me tell ya, I needed some top-notch sound equipment to give my moviegoers the best experience possible. And that's where Audio Trends came in.

I recently purchased a Denon AVR-X550BT AV Receiver as a backup system. But let me tell ya folks, this baby is so good that we've been using it for all our screenings. The sound quality is out of this world, and the speaker balance is just right. And get this, the auto setup system made it a breeze to set up.

Now, I ain't gonna lie, I did have a bit of trouble with the USB input format, but I reckon I'll figure it out 'cos it's such an important feature. But hey, ain't that always the case with new technology?

Overall, I gotta give it to Audio Trends for providing an excellent product. They really know their stuff when it comes to sound equipment, and I can't recommend them enough. Keep up the good work, fellas. Signed, Kev Franzi.

Ordering from Audio Trends was a breeze, didn't have to go through any hoops or loops. However, the goods themselves are yet to arrive, so there's nothing much to say about that. Initially, I had some doubts regarding the price guarantee, but I decided to give them a try anyway because their website looked promising. Though, after adding the Zerstat gun to my basket, I had a question to ask. Therefore, I sent an email and waited for a reply.

The next day, I received an email back but it wasn't the response I had hoped for. They said the item wasn't in stock which boggled my mind as the website mentioned it was. I had a sneaky suspicion that they didn't want to match the cost. They advised me to get it from some other supplier at $120. Now, with this information, did they think I was born yesterday? The website said they had it in stock, but now said they didn't. My mind started raising even more suspicions - was it too much of a price difference for them to match, so instead, They just told me to get it elsewhere.

I'm still waiting for a genuine answer. I would have appreciated it if they had been more candid with me. If they had said, "We can't match that low price" then I wouldn't be questioning their honesty. Honesty is the best policy, not deceit. As a result of this, I'm now hesitant to make my planned Sonos purchase next week. Overall, ordering from Audio Trends was easy, but their explanation about the Zerostat gun was foggy and a tad dubious.

The Aatcama Nexus 7i Speaker Stands are a great addition to any audio set up. However, I did have some issues with one of the top cover plates. While one plate had c'sunk holes that were recessed to ensure the screws did not protrude above the top of the plate, the other plate did not have that feature. This led to the screws protruding above the top plate and causing some inconvenience.

But fret not, as I found a solution by adding a hardwood insert panel between the top plate and my speakers. The underside of the panel had to be recessed to ensure a flush fitment between the top plate and the timber insert. With this insert, I could secure my bookcase speakers with ease.

Overall, I highly recommend the Aatcama Nexus 7i Speaker Stands, but I do advise contacting the supplier to improve their quality control as I did face some issues with one of the top plates. Nonetheless, with a little bit of DIY ingenuity, I was able to still enjoy my audio setup with my hardwood panel insert.

So, I just made my second purchase from this Audio Trends website and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed this time around. I picked up the Tivoli model 1 Blue tooth radio, but when I tried to tune in to AM radio, I couldn't get even the faintest signal. And don't even get me started on FM - it was pretty mediocre even when I used the aerials.

What's strange is that another Tivoli clock radio I have - an older model without blue tooth - gets fantastic reception in the exact same spot in my house, no aerial needed. When I called up Audio Trends to see if they could help me out, the representative didn't seem to know much about the product and just suggested I return it. They also recommended that I try a different brand instead - the Rurark radio, if I recall correctly.

To be honest, that's not exactly the message I want to hear as a buyer. Luckily, we found out that we can stream DAB radio through the Wi-Fi connection and the sound quality is pretty great. I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle of returning the radio, but it's disappointing nonetheless since I was really hoping to integrate it with my other Tivoli art series equipment. I was planning on getting a couple of the integrated art series speakers, but I think I'll hold off on that for now.

Me and the missus have been using Audio Trends for our audio gear for a while now and generally we've been pretty happy with the service they offer. Order up and they deliver right to your door, and the prices aren't half bad either. But the latest order we put in was a bit of a doozy.

Seems like their computer system hiccuped and decided to generate an extra item on our invoice, which messed up the shipping. We didn't even notice until we got in touch with Australia Post to find out what was taking so long with our delivery. They told us they couldn't ship out the amp we ordered until this mystery Item 2 showed up too. What the heck was Item 2 anyways?

Turns out, it was just an error on the part of Audio Trends. When we finally called them to ask about the delay, they found the issue right away. But here's where things could have gone smoother: we never got a personal confirmation from their end that our order had shipped out. If we had, we could have saved some time and had the shipment delivered sooner. Australia Post said that if we hadn't inquired about it, they would have just kept on holding onto our stuff.

All in all, it wasn't the best experience we've had with Audio Trends. But we know that everyone's bound to make a mistake once in a while. And they've been pretty reliable in the past, so we'll still keep using them for our audio needs. As long as they sort out their computer bugs, that is.

Tha Rega MM Phono MK5, let me tell you, it's like no other upgrade I've ever had for my set up. I had been using a Project phono preamp for the past decade and a half, which did the job pretty well, but I had been itching for something more. I debated with myself for quite some time about whether or not to spring for the Rega unit, but after reading rave reviews about it online, I decided to take the plunge.

Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. The first thing I noticed was how absolutely stunning my records sounded after switching over to the Rega. I used to have to crank the volume up on softer recordings just to hear them properly, but with this unit I never have to worry about that anymore. The clarity and volume are both so much better than they were before - it's like night and day. I think a lot of it has to do with the higher voltage and individual channel filters that the Rega unit uses. Whatever the reason, I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

And if you're worried that the Rega unit might not be worth the price tag because you already have a decent phono preamp at home like I did, let me assure you that it is. I was skeptical at first, but after hearing the difference for myself I can say with complete confidence that it's worth every penny. I don't think I'll be upgrading any further than better quality MM stylus cartridges - I really don't think there's any more benefit to be gained by doing so. The old Project unit still works, but the difference between the two is so striking that I'm glad I upgraded.

As for AudioTrends as a company, I have nothing but good things to say. This was my first time ordering from them and I was really impressed by the quality of their service and their pricing. While their delivery service is a little slower than some of their competitors like Addictedtoaudio, they do an excellent job of keeping you updated on the status of your order - which is more than can be said for some of the other audio equipment sellers out there. I know that smaller specialist companies like Audio Trends can't operate on the same lightning-fast timelines as giants like Amazon, but they're not far off in my opinion. If they keep delivering great products that are actually in stock and ready to ship, then I'll definitely be returning for future purchases.

Got myself a new TV so I thought it was time to upgrade my sound system too. Checked out Audiotrends.com.au and was impressed with their selection. Ended up buying a Sonos soundbar and adding three Sonos One speakers to different rooms, including this pair I'm reviewing.

Setting up the Sonos system was a breeze. Just connect to Wi-Fi and control with the Sonos app. However, the app can be a bit clunky at times. I wish you could save speaker groups instead of having to create them each time you want to listen to something different.

The sound quality of the Sonos speakers is superb and I've had a blast listening to my favorite tunes. The app limits what services you can use but I found that Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and Spotify work great. You have to have a premium Spotify subscription to use it with Sonos though. I did have trouble getting "Radio by TuneIn" to work properly.

One thing that I'm really loving about my Sonos system is the recent addition of Airplay support. I can now play podcasts and other audio from my iPad. However, my $700 playbar, which I purchased before the speakers, doesn't have Airplay support. There's a workaround for syncing multiple speakers with different capabilities, but it can be a bit of a hassle.

I've heard some suggestions that using the Spotify app directly might be a good alternative to using the Sonos app. Might have to try that out some time. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase and I love that I can set up a whole-house sound system with this plug and play solution. I haven't used the Alexa feature yet but I'm excited to try it out in the future.

I recently made a purchase from Audio Trends (audiotrends.com.au) and I must say their prices are hard to beat. However, my order didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped. One of the items I received had a crack in it which prevented me from adjusting the height of my speakers on the stand I had purchased. Naturally, this issue made the speaker stand I had bought from Audio Trends useless to me.

While I appreciate that accidents happen in the shipping process, I was disappointed that this particular item was damaged. Thankfully, I contacted Audio Trends to let them know about the issue I was having. They have promised to send me a replacement part right away. I am relieved that they are dealing with the situation in a timely manner and look forward to having my speaker stand up and running as soon as possible.

Overall, I would say that while my experience wasn't ideal, Audio Trends has done their best to rectify the situation and make things right. I would continue to shop with them in the future, but perhaps with a bit of caution since this instance made me aware that accidents can happen.

Yo, so I had some drama when I was trying to order from Audio Trends website. It took me like 4 tries just to figure out how to get it to deliver to my crib in Sydney instead of me having to pick it up somewhere else. Like, I wanted to choose the $0.00 delivery but it wouldn't let me, it kept going back to click & collect. Was hella annoying, but I finally got it sorted.

Besides that, I gotta say, the products on their website are straight fire! They got hella dope speakers and headphones that I've been wanting to cop for a minute. I ended up getting some sick [censored] AirPods and a new soundbar for my living room. The prices are reasonable and they have some wicked sales too.

Overall, I would definitely recommend checking Audio Trends out if you're in the market for some sick audio equipment. Just watch out for the ordering system, it's a little tricky. But once you get past that, you won't regret it. Cheers y'all!

This one time, I went to Audio Trends website and decided to use PayPal to pay for my stuff. But the website wouldn't play nice and got all frozen up on me. So then I tried to use my credit card but the website took an eternity to respond. Like, come on, man, I got stuff to do!

Next thing you know, my delivery got all delayed for some unknown reason. I was getting worried because I needed my stuff, like, yesterday. So I called them up and they told me they didn't know what happened but they were gonna send my package out right away. I finally got my order one day later than I expected. I mean, better late than never, right?

But here's the real kicker - when I finally got my item, it wouldn't even freakin' work. Like, what the heck, man? So I had to drag myself all the way to the store to get it replaced. That was a real pain in my butt, let me tell you.

Overall, my experience with Audio Trends was kind of a letdown. The website wasn't very user-friendly and my delivery got delayed for no reason. And then to top it all off, I got a busted item. At least they replaced it for me, I guess.

Audio Trends is a pretty great website to browse when you're looking for some new audio gear. The layout is simple and easy to use, and it's pretty easy to understand what you're looking at. I recently bought the CM8 speaker here because it was a discounted price, but I was pretty disappointed when I found out that it had been used before. I felt like I was being cheated out of something because it wasn't clear to me that it wasn't a brand new product. That said, I did get another pair of speakers from this website last year, and I paid a couple hundred more for a brand new set, so I guess it's all a matter of timing.

I gotta say, there was a bit of a delay in getting my order from Audio Trends. Ain't no fault of theirs, though, it's just one of them things that happens. But what really got on my nerves was the lack of communication on their part. I mean, if they knew there was gonna be a hold up, they shoulda let me know, right? But nah, I had to be the one to reach out and ask what the deal was.

Other than that, though, the stuff I got from Audio Trends was pretty darn good. The sound quality is clear as day and the equipment seems to be holding up well. I've had a few occasions where I blasted my tunes pretty loud and everything kept playing just fine. No complaints there.

Plus, their website is pretty easy to navigate. I ain't no tech wizard, so if I can figure out how to find what I'm looking for, anybody can. And they got a pretty decent selection of audio equipment at prices that ain't too shabby.

Overall, I'd say if you're looking for some good audio gear, give Audio Trends a try. Just be prepared to follow up with them if you don't hear back about any delays right away.

Audio Trends is a shop that sells audio equipment and accessories. I went there to buy some headphones and I noticed that the service there is not very good. Some of the salesmen are not very friendly and they seem to be more interested in talking to each other than helping customers. They don't really make you feel welcome and it can be hard to get their attention if you need help.

I have been there several times now and I have noticed that the younger salesmen are much better than the older ones. They seem to be more enthusiastic and helpful, and they are more willing to spend time with you to make sure you get the right product for your needs. The old guys just want to sell you something and get rid of you as quickly as possible.

The prices at Audio Trends are reasonable, but I would be willing to pay a little more if I could get better service. It's frustrating when you feel like you are not being listened to or taken seriously as a customer. I think that Audio Trends could do a better job of training their sales staff to be more customer-focused and attentive.

Overall, I would recommend Audio Trends if you know what you are looking for and don't need much help from the salesmen. But if you want a shopping experience where you feel valued and listened to, you might want to look elsewhere.

I gotta say, I've made two purchases from Audiotrends already - and I've noticed a pretty big problem with their website. Both times, the site wasn't up to date. This most recent time, I specifically checked to make sure my desired color was available and ready to go for shipping. But guess what? It wasn't even close. Talk about a real bummer, you know? I had to wait a whole week for them to sort this issue out and, to top it off, they weren't answering any of my calls. Sigh. Once they got their stuff together and sorted everything out, the turntable was finally delivered to me pretty quickly. And, I gotta say, it was complete and arrived in good condition. The quality of the turntable is solid and I'm definitely happy with it. Overall, Audiotrends could use some improvement in terms of their website and communication, but if you can bear with them, they do have some decent products to offer.

I gotta say, Audio Trends is a pretty decent store for audio equipment, but they sure do need to fix up their website checkout process. I had a major hassle trying to finish my purchase with Paypal, as I couldn't figure out why I couldn't push that dang Place Order button. On top of that, the mandatory address fields were left blank by Paypal, but there wasn't any message letting me know what was going on. And get this, even though Paypal said I could update my contact info, I couldn't seem to make it happen on the Audio Trends site.

Despite all that, the products themselves are pretty top-notch, I can't deny that. The sound quality is amazing and the prices are reasonable, too. I just hope that Audio Trends gets their checkout process together, 'cos I don't wanna deal with that kind of headache again.

So, I gotta admit, Audio Trends ain't exactly the easiest site to navigate. It took me a hot minute to figure out that the little green trolley up in the corner was my shopping cart. And don't even get me started on the fact that the dang site kept defaulting to "Click & Collect" when I wanted my stuff mailed to me. Ain't no clear way to cancel that out from the cart, either.

But, all that aside, I did finally manage to order what I wanted. Now, I'm just hoping there ain't some sneaky mailing cost that I missed. Couldn't find any clear indication of whether I paid it or not.

Overall, Audio Trends ain't the most user-friendly site out there, but if you're willing to put in the time and effort, you can eventually get what you're after. Just be prepared to navigate some confusing stuff along the way.

I recently made a purchase at Audio Trends and was quite disappointed with the service I received. Delivery took way longer than I expected, nearly 2 weeks! Apparently there were issues with my purchase from New Zealand, which I wasn't aware of at the time. I was buying a speaker as a gift for my sister-in-law who lives in Melbourne. The delay was not properly communicated to me, I had to put in two international toll calls to get the issue resolved and the speaker finally delivered.

I felt they could have done better in communicating with me about any potential security issues that may have arisen, and I was surprised that no one from Audio Trends bothered to contact me at all.

Overall, I was really disappointed with my experience and found myself regretting my choice to support a local business. If I buy another Sonos speaker in the future, I will probably go with JB HiFi instead. I have had no issues with them in the past, and their customer service has always been excellent.

In conclusion, Audio Trends needs to improve its customer service if it wants to stay competitive in today's market. Delayed deliveries and communication issues are not acceptable in this day and age and it's only going to hurt their business in the long run. I hope they can address these issues and improve their service for the benefit of their customers.
