“Brought in a PS5 that would not stay powered on for more than a few seconds. They had it diagnosed and fixed within a few days, and it works flawless.
The price was super agreeable for how quickly they got it done. 10/10, would absolutely recommend them for electronic repairs.”
“Worked with Davie Lei in NW Calgary and it was very seamless. He was really patient with us and allowed us pick all that we needed. He gave the best advise and offers available. Thanks David!”
“I ordered a Hakko FX 971 along with two tips from their online store, Chase kept me up to date on my order and packaged everything perfectly and nothing was damaged. they're a great source for Hakko parts and are Canadian.”
“My wife and I stopped by this store while walking through the mall and happened to have the best customer service I've ever received in any retail store anywhere. This young gentleman named Hassan helped us purchase two brand new phones. This kid deserves a raise. I highly suggest stopping here for a great deal on your next phone or electronics purchase. We will definitely be back again. Kudos Hassan, keep up the great work.”
“I recently bought a dining table and I’m very happy with it! The table is sturdy, stylish, and just as described. The seller was helpful. great quality and service”
“Worked with Ahmad/ Ahmed, the manager, Ali, Adrian and Fiona on a new iPhone 16 Pro and monthly phone plan on Virgin Plus.
They were all genuinely helpful.
It was Boxing Day and Ahmad and Ali went above and beyond.
Because there was a system glitch,
Ali stayed nearly 18 minutes past closing time to ensure my transition to the new cellphone provider went through successfully
I recommend this place over the 17 Ave Best Buy”
“John was great to deal with when upgrading my home theater equipment. He was able to show areas where I could spend less than my budget would allow, but still get an amazing result. I strongly recommend Base Electronics whether you are setting up a home theater or just looking for a living room tv or audio. Will definitely be back for future projects.”
“Great experience in store. Understood exactly what I wanted and had the knowledge to inform me how to get the best deal. Sufian is great and a pleasure to deal with. An asset to Rogers.”
“Adil and his partner (no name tag) provided top level customer service. Very helpful in picking out my car stereo components. I will be back when it's time to do a sub install! Thank guys!”
“Active Tech Electronics is a great store when you need very specific parts and bits.
The staff are very knowledgeable and patient. You literally give them a part that you need to replace, and they will find it among all the variety of sizes and shapes they sell.
I only wished that I was more knowledgeable to be able to shop here regularly.”
“Always buy my TV’s and home audio through visions and recently purchased a new TV, receiver and sub. Om at visions MacLeod was amazing!! Best experience I’ve had at visions and helped find the exact products that worked and even changed my mind on a TV brand and absolutely pleased with his suggestion”
“I was looking for TVs after doing some research online. The shopping experience both on the phone and in-store was seamless. I had the in-store assistance of an exceptional salesperson, Darryl. He was personable, helpful, professional and knowledgeable. Darryl even carried my purchases to my vehicle. In addition, I appreciate the comfortable buying experience he created. I would highly recommend Darryl at the Calgary Signal Hill location!”
“Spencer's at Sunridge Mall is a fun and unique store with a great selection of their always interesting and quirky items. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help, making the shopping experience even better. Whether you're looking for novelty gifts, band merch, or fun accessories, this location has plenty to browse. Overall, a great spot to check out if you're in the mall!”
“Extremely helpful, I called and I got everything explained perfectly. The exact price of a repair and even a recommendation if I should repair it at all compared to the purchase cost. Greatly recommend!!!”
“You never forget your first time. I was a teenager—somewhere between 15 and 20 years ago—awkward, wide-eyed, and obsessed with sound. I wandered into Absolute Audio not knowing what to expect. What I found were planar speakers whispering promises of audio nirvana, and an owner who treated a curious kid with the same respect you'd give a seasoned audiophile with a Black AmEx. I left with ears wide open and a memory that’s stayed lodged in my brain like a perfectly tuned note. It was a rare intersection: my father’s enthusiasm for great sound, and my own budding curiosity—it clicked. Absolute Audio wasn’t just a store. It was a spark.
Fast forward to a few months ago—I had a doctor’s appointment nearby and decided to pop in. No expectations. Lance, one of the gents at the helm, welcomed me like I was a long-lost cousin. He walked me through a showroom that could double as a design museum, demoed gear without a hint of sales pressure, and spoke in tones that were equal parts technical mastery and approachable joy. It wasn’t just informative—it was fun, and deeply human. In an era where most stores just want to sell you a box, Absolute reminded me that good audio retail is about connecting people with experiences.
Then, yesterday happened.
My dad’s birthday. My mom, daughter, and I decided to make a family day of it. A little Vietnamese food from Bowness Viet (seriously, if you know—you know), and then a drop-in at Absolute. My dad couldn’t believe it was still there. “Still in Bowness? After all these years?” he said, eyes lit up. This place clearly meant something to him too.
The moment we walked in, Ross—a man who could teach a course on how to make guests feel like family—made a beeline to a giant bowl of Lindor chocolates and handed one to my daughter. Smooth. Future-proofing the next generation of hi-fi heads one truffle at a time.
And from there? Magic. Ross wasn’t selling, he was storytelling. He educated, he guided, he inspired—no snobbery, no jargon walls, and no judgment. I was literally holding a half-eaten sandwich, and not once did I feel like I didn’t “belong.” My family was treated not as browsers, but as welcome guests in a passion project wrapped in wood veneer, tube glow, and impeccable sound.
We didn’t buy anything that day—but man, did we want to.
See, in an age where algorithms push you “what’s next,” where giant online warehouses box your purchases like they’re shipping drywall, Absolute Audio reminds us what audio is really about: not just sound, but soul. It's a place where you can be inspired, educated, and included—whether you're a lifelong collector or just someone chasing the memory of a speaker that moved you two decades ago.
Stores like Absolute carry more than just brands. They carry community. They carry memory. And they carry the kind of integrity you can’t put in a spec sheet. Feeling fortunate to have this experience in my hometown.”
“After not setting foot into an audio store in years, I decided to stop in at K&W to give my ears a little "tune up" to compare my home system to what's currently available. I was amazed by the range of selection available, and even though I was up front about not really shopping, Mike was more than generous enough to take time (luckily it was early in the day and they hadn't gotten a rush of customers yet) to demo their B&W/McIntosh setup to my hearts' content.If it's time to upgrade your setup at home - you won't be disappointed here! Thank you Mike!”
“I want to thank Bert at Southcenter mall in Calgary Alberta.
After waiting on line, he graciously Connected me with the right place.
Thanks again Bert.”
“I went in two months ago to demo some high-end Focal and Audeze headphones I was interested in. Even though I was upfront that I had no plans on buying anything that day (and I didn't), they were very chill, friendly, and knowledgeable -- we had a great conversation and I tried everything I wanted to and then some. More recently, I contacted them via email about an upcoming product and they were swift responding and again very friendly. Excellent service; no complaints.”
“Raj was a great help picking out the my radio from visions. 10/10 would recommend this restaurant to everyone and their family and friends. Best chicken chow mein!!”
“After buying a new pc with windows 11 on it a few months ago i recently realized i couldn't play some of my old games on it. After trying a bunch of things to no avail i called memory express in the ne where i purchased the computer and was told they couldn't help me. I decided to try the Dalhousie location where i had purchased my laptop and spoke with Angela in service and was given a lesson in what excellent customer service really is. She was patient and kind, professional, extremely knowledgeable and more helpful than i could have ever dreamed. She asked lots of questions about what i had done to fix the issue and eventually suggested i bring my tower in and she could have a look. In a short period of time she had it all figured out and patiently waited while i took notes so i could apply it to other games i had at home. She then helped me with another purchase i wanted to make and i was on my way. Absolutely the best customer service i have ever had! (And I'm old :/ ) Thanks so much Angela! I truly appreciated all your help and can't thank you enough!!!”
“Amazing service at this place. I went for my phone repair, and the gentleman who looked at my phone was very knowledgeable about phones. He figured out the problem right away, fixed it quickly, and didn’t even charge me. They have several electronic items at reasonable prices.”
“By far the best Ghost Armor location that I've ever been to! I was assisted by Aria, and she was extremely helpful in deciding which covering to go with as well as just being overall great at her job! 10/10 experience”
“We have worked with the team at Bestway Appliances for years, particularly Ross, and have had consistently great experiences. They provide fantastic service, and go above an beyond to help find the best option for your needs and space!”
“I had an awesome experience! Both Mihir and Sagar assisted me, and the customer service was exceptional. They helped me find an extra occupational related discount that I was not aware of, and made the switch over to my new phone seamless. I ended up keeping them past closing time wrapping up all of details but they didn't seem put out by this at all, nor did they rush. Would come here again!”
“We bought a Dyson V12 two weeks ago, and so far we are really enjoying the suction power and lightness of the vacuum. Lauren was very helpful and knowledgeable about the different models of vacuums, and made the experience enjoyable.”
“Kevin was a great help, was friendly and patient as there was some complications with my account. Would recommend speaking with him when you come in, very competent.”
“Beacon Hill Telus location is also a clean, well-organized, and professional spot to explore phone services and more.
Especially, Mukti is an incredibly helpful and knowledgeable team member. She provides detailed information with true professionalism, making sure you understand all your options. If you’re considering a phone plan, I highly recommend stopping by and asking for her advice—whether you plan to go with Telus or just want guidance. Mukti is genuinely someone you can trust for honest recommendations.
Thank you, Mukti!!!!”
“Kudos to Jack at London Drugs Beddington computer department. He restored an iPhone with high sentimental value, that the Apple Store wasn’t even able to fix. Thank you!”
“I got my baby’s passport photo taken here and I can not rave enough about how great the experience was. They 100% knew how to handle baby passport photos. This was my second attempt to get my baby’s photo done. The first experience was at a staples and it was absolutely horrible. I thought I’d try London drugs instead and WOW! What a game changer! Took like maybe 10mins total. Printing and all. They had a bassinet to place my baby in for the photo and the photographer was quick and knew what he was doing!!! Get your baby’s passport photo here!!! 10/10 recommend!!”
“I've been to the store with my husband about a month ago to rent some equipment and was very well instructed on operating the camera we rented from Drew. Thank you very much.”
