    I went in to look for a new set of speakers and got excellent service. Chris patiently took me…read morethrough listening to several speakers in the listening room. When I found one I liked I was able to take the set home over night and try it out. Only downside is that you cannot do returns for special order items. However, IMO, this is still the place to go for great service and quality audio in metro.

    The last time I was in Peak Audio I was in the market for a pair of head phones. My previous pair…read morehad met an unfortunate end in the wheel of a bike tire and I had the sad task of replacing them. When I walked in the door a gentleman quickly greeted me and asked if he could be of any service. I told him my story and he actually said he was sorry for my loss as though a relative had past away. Being an audiophile I really enjoyed his sentiment. I let him know that I was looking for a set of headphones in a specific price range and he quickly guided me to the the head phones within that bracket. He very candidly told me that all of these were top notch except for one and if I'd like a demo he'd be happy to help. Obviously I said sure and he guided me to a chair. He then brought me each of the head phones (six in all) and let me check out the sound quality on all of them until I found the ones that were right for me. It's amazing how much different music can sound in a good pair of cans! I sat back to listen for a little while and when I finally made a decision the guy knocked a little off the price for me! Peak Audio is a high quality shop for those of us who love our music and our home theatres. If you're looking for a real bargain, go elsewhere, but if you want top notch gear from people who know what their talking about, there's no other choice in the city. After this great experience I'll return to Peak Audio for all my audio purchases. You should do the same!

    I went to the Apple Store in Halifax today. A lady who was triaging customers before entering the…read morestore turned out to be extremely difficult and curt, making me feel like I was stupid when I asked her for help. I wasn't able to download anything on my phone and because I didn't know why she became very curt and told me that she wouldn't make an appointment for me if I couldn't explain what the problem was -- the very reason I was there. I'm 70 years old and have no training in technology but I was taught manners. This person should be taught basic personal communication skills, let alone good manners.

    This place is so not for me, so maybe Appleheads can take this review with a grain of salt…read more While booking an appointment online to meet with their Genius bar sounds cool and is convenient, in theory, it also makes them feel a little less accessible. I like the option of being able to just walk in and see someone right away to fix whatever problem I have. Since they're by appointment only, that's not so much the case. I'm glad someone else had told me to book in advance, otherwise I could have wasted quite a bit of time. Also, when I walked in for my appointment, I wasn't quite sure how to proceed, and the person on the other end of the counter wasn't so sure, either. I was told to sit, they'd check me in, and then two of the staff bickered in front of me over who would have to see me. Maybe I'm a little biased because the Genius bar tech took only 2 seconds after looking to flat-out tell me that they would make no attempt to fix my broken iPad, but I find their service a little inflated, and their prices even more so. Clearly, I'm not pleased that a product that is less than two years old that cost a lot of money is broken for no explainable reason, so I expected some empathy, but got little. More a shrug, followed by an inflated price tag to get a new product. It would have cost me almost as much as a competitor's brand new tablet to replace my out-of-warranty three year old product. Listen, the store is super bright, full of shiny things, and organized in this "stations" set-up. It does have a modern esthetic. It's clean and well-staffed with employees that spend most of their time playing with their toys, but I found the whole thing to be both intimidating and vain. But I guess that's part of the brand. I'm just clearly not their target audience. I've had better service at "lower end" stores, and that's where I'll continue to go now that I no longer have any ties to the Apple brand.
