Great Service – You beauty Betty….you fixed it! I’m totally blown away by your wonderful old fashioned honest service. Obviously that’s why Apollo HiFi has been successfully in business for over 50 years. Next audio requirement you’ll be our first port of call.

First class product and experience – I recently bought a Denon DRA 900h from Apollo Hifi as a replacement for my old amplifier. I'd done plenty of homework before considering this one, but obviously had a few remaining questions. Apollo Hifi had the right price and responded almost immediately, and in detail, to my e-mail. Throughout the process (discussion, purchase, delivery,… Read more

set-up), Apollo Hifi could not have been more helpful. I am delighted with the new amp -- my old one was much loved and set a high bar -- and I highly recommend Apollo Hifi to anyone looking for hi-fi equipment.

Excellent customer service!!! – I have been buying my audio gears for years now and I cannot believe I missed sending this long overdue review. John was an excellent seller. Just contact him at sales@apollohifi.com.au or 1300 694 434 and you will get the best deals (some you cannot think it is possible), just ask him. He can do even better and response was so quick! Plus all of… Read more

their staff were as friendly as John. I have never encountered one that is not friendly and welcoming. Trust me I have met different store staff over the years, they were always very friendly even if you don't end up buying.

Possibly the best AUDIO SHOP in Sydney – I bought a set of speakers and an additional sub-woofer from Apollo in the last 3 weeks. I have no electronic or audio technical literacy. In fact, i am an idiot in this area. When i walked into the store I thought they would laugh at me and look away. Well, I ended up seeing myself writing up a top review for them soon after I was finished with… Read more

them because these people were endlessly helpful to me in making the right match of speakers for my amplifier and they answered all my questions in very simple ways so that I had no problem when I was alone in the house setting them up.

The boss, John, is a very lovely guy with lightning fast help and honest advice. Well, the staff is also likewise, quite as helpful and willing to help. If i realised they were one of those stores just after your money as quickly as possible, i would have walked out as i did with a number of other stores before Apollo.

I am definitely recommending these guys to anyone who need friendly and good technical help, as well as honest advise and good customer service.

Really speedy delivery. Fast and easy transaction. A-class customer service – I considered ordering my Bose QC 35's from Android Enjoyed, but after tons of negative reviews I read on this site about this so-called Aus-owned (yet Hong Kong HQ) company I decided to go with Appollo. Boy was I glad I did. Great experience shopping online. Easy account creation, order placement and Paypal payment. I work in Billinudgel… Read more

which is pretty remote and quite a ways from Sydney. Order placed and had the package safely in my hand and signed for the very next day. Really impressive and great buying experience. Seriously competitive pricing as well, just about the best I could find anywhere. Constant e-mail updates were great.

And don't take my word for it, just read all the other glowing reviews on here. Customer support is passionate and A-class. These are Aussies who have a real stake in their business and care about customer satisfaction (as any successful business should). This will definitely be my first stop in future for any audio/electronic needs.

Straight forward sale; no crap – My stunning Cambridge Audio Azur 640c v2.0's disc draw stopped working after 71/2 years & I was frantically searching Sydney & Melbourne for it's replacement (the also stunning Azur 651c)...& could not find it anywhere until I contacted John from Apollo HiFi.

through me; withdrawl averted.

30 minutes later I attended 283 Victoria Rd in Marrickville, handed over the required $700 & have been in tuneful ecstasy again ever since (once it was burnt in of course).

Thank you Mr Chillari

September 20th 2017 Update: Again, a pleasure to deal with

See my previous review about dealing with this retailer.

John Chillari, the owner of Apollo Hi-Fi, is an absolute pleasure to deal with...straight forward, honest & helpful.

Much like my experience at NAPF...5 minutes on the phone...best current price in Sydney achieved...deal done...in & out of the shop in 15 minutes to pick up & pay (speaker grills are packaged separately)...no stuffing around...brilliant!

Oh,& the KEF's?...moving from good to brilliant as they run (burn) in...& da bass...wooaoah...awesome!

Waiting to see what I think but so far not good – Put down a deposit over CC over the phone. Called up next day to try and cancel as I found out a bit more about the product and had a change of mind. Had a terrible phone conversation with the owner who would only offer store credit because they had already placed the order - this is less than 24 hours later. Also the salesperson I placed order… Read more

with had said the bulk of the order was in already stock but apparently "he was wrong". Waiting for an outcome so we will see if things improve. Not consistent with all the good reviews I read here.

Confidence man will not honor warranty – Bought a TV from Appollo HiFi and they will not honor the warranty under the Australian consumer law act and try to pass it of as Panasonic's responsibility . The store does not understand how the consumer law act works and try to ignore these facts very frustrating having to deal with someone who takes no responsibility for their own actions as a responsible seller .

Quality service – I bought a 5.1 surround system from these guys. Great price. On setting it up I found one speaker was dead. Returned speaker and was handed a replacement. No quibbles and no ducking. Process took a few minutes. This is my second purchase from Apollo over a number of years and will definitely be back when next in the market for their gear.

These guys are brilliant! – I bought a Bose product from these guys. They respected my Bose fetish but didn’t sell me something I didn’t need. Their pricing is very competitive and they are very happy to discuss tech specs and features and provide their objective opinion. I will be buying from them again and have no hesitation in recommending Apollo especially Alex and John. Thank you. Show details

My 'go-to' on-line supplier for quality hi fi products – Three reasons Apollo Hi Fi is my first choice for audio equipment: 1 They provide quality products. 2 Their prices are competitive with or better (i.e. cheaper) than rivals. 3 Efficiency. My purchases arrived 2-3 days after ordering with ready tracking info provided. Bonus = free delivery. AND, I live in regional Victoria. Makes for one very satisfied customer.

Best price, friendly and helpful service – Comparing prices, Apollo were the best even though I’m from Perth. I had a question so I called the store. I spoke to Betty who was very friendly and gave me all the time I needed. She also made sure to get the item to me in time for the birthday I was buying for. I was very impressed with this store and more than happy to support a small business. Val

Five Star Service***** – I recently purchased two sets of isolation footers for my speakers. Unfortunately the thread adapters supplied as standard weren’t suitable. Apollo HiFi were quick off the mark to locate and send out the correct threaded studs.

Excellent Service and Fast Delivery – I decided to read up on the reviews for Apollo HiFi when I found 2 x Headphones I was interested in buying. The reviews were very positive so I gave them a go. I spent $840, (best price for the items I wanted) made a phone call and sent an email, both were very positive and the items arrived earlier than expected. I will buying from them in the future and highly recommend them to anyone.

Great service even when things went a bit wrong – Would definitely recommend these guys. I bought a fairly high end Amplifier to go with my KEF refererence speakers. This worked great for 9 months but unfortunately then started to cut out intermittently. David and John helped me liaise with distributor and authorised repairer and through their advice we were able to rule out other possible… Read more

issues, such as my setup, speakers etc. This was a bit of an unusual problem and hard to replicate but they fully appreciated my frustration.

Everything got sorted in the end and couldn't be happier with how my system now sounds !

I think the sign of a good company is how they resolve issues when things don't always go to plan. Apollo definitely seem to value their customers, which is maybe why how they've been around so long - hence I'm giving 5 stars.

Return customer still extremely happy – Last year I purchased some Bose noise cancelling headphones from Apollo Hi-Fi. Their price and service couldn’t be matched anywhere and on pick up the staff were awesome. Recently ordered Bose Soundsport Earphones on a Wednesday and this time had them delivered to slightly north of Ulladulla. Again can’t be matched for price, plus free delivery. To top it off they arrived two days later. Top notch customer service and products.

Best price, excellent delivery!! – I just bought a Bose Soundbar from Apollo. They not only offered the best price I could find anywhere but also managed to have it delivered to me in Melbourne in 2 days. After placing the order I needed to call for a clarification, and they were super friendly and supportive. I will certainly check back for my next HiFi purchase.
