If you're looking for high end home audio setup, this is the place to go to. It is by appointment only. Daniel helped me setup the booking. Paul was really helpful and patient with demoing speakers with me. I did not feel pressured or rushed which is what lead me to write this review. I listened to bookshelf dynaudio, focal, kef ls50, kef r3, and kef reference 3. The team is very passionate about sound! I ended up purchasing from a friend but definitely would recommend this shop to anyone looking!

Thank you to Audio High for helping me and my sister with a small project. I know they have high end customers with big installatioons. All I needed was a new Sonos sound bar. They came to install it and found it is incompatible with my old rear speakers. I told them to replace them and they made a recommendation on brand new Sonos speketrs . I am now waiting for a return visit for tthe new speakers. I am not gifted with the abilty to add these components and then troubleshoot. The tech guys who come are great. They are professional and patient with me when i ask questions. Thank you, Rollie, for taking care of me. And I have recommended them to family and friends.

Highly recommend Audio High. I had just moved in to a house with outdated Home Theater/Audio System and needed to be connected and upgraded. Rolie was very responsive and proactive to get us set up with the best plan to reconnect all the current audio equipment and replace any outdated equipment to ensure we had a high performing AV experience. Patrick and his Team came out several times to make sure we were all set and happy with the installation. They were quick, clean, and very good at explaining what function each piece of equipment had to make sure I could operate with ease. The price was fair and feel I got exactly what I paid for. If there were any adjustments to the cost, Rolie was quick to make the change. I could not recommend a better company and look forward to doing more work to my home in the future with Audio High.

I had a terrific experience with Audio High. I went into the store considering whether to downsize a large McIntosh system to a high-end all-in-one AVM product (Audio High is the only local AVM dealer). Rolie and Dan spent a *lot* of time with me over two visits, and were incredibly patient as I auditioned record after record, CD after CD, and various streaming sources. They also bent over backwards to construct a very generous trade-in value for my Mac stack.When all was said and done, I decided that I'm not yet ready to part with my blue meters (I've loved a lot of McIntosh gear over the years). Rolie and Dan were incredibly gracious about my decision not to purchase the AVM piece (which is exceptional, BTW) despite the significant time they invested in the potential sale. I will not hesitate to go back to Audio High when the time is right (or if I want to upgrade any of the non-Mac pieces of the system). Simply put, Rolie and Dan are a class act.

I recently upgraded my home theater to Martin Logan speakers, and did this based solely on YouTube reviews. When I got the speakers, I realized I have a lot to learn in terms of getting the best sound including acoustic treatment in the room. I also wanted to start actually listening to different types of speakers rather then just go by other reviewers' opinions. I scheduled a 2 hour time with Audio High, and they were extremely courteous and not pushy in terms of selling me speakers. I listened to speakers that I am never going to buy, and Paul at the store was completely open to having me listen to any speaker they had in the showroom. I highly recommend listening to speakers before buying them if you are making any significant investment and want to get the best sound, because only you can decide what "best sound" to you is.

Although they are definitely more focused on speakers and installation, I had a good experience demoing some headphones. Their selection isn't very large but they have most of the big names for higher end headphones. (Sennheiser, Audeze, Focal) Paul was very easy going and was pleasant to chat with. If you're in the market for a set of high end speakers this is the place, and if you've always wanted to try a Sennheiser HD-800S or an LCD-X these guys can help you out.

Paul was super helpful when I called to set up and appointment and went in to demo some headphones. I was able to spend over an hour listening to a few different pairs that I had in mind, both using their provided sources and my own sources. Paul was very helpful and willing to answer any questions I had, and was awesome throughout the purchase process as well. I would strongly recommend anyone interested in high-end audio to stop by sometime and check out their selection! Great shop.

I messaged Audio High asking if I could demo some high end headphones. They were pleasant to speak with over email, and very accommodating when I arrived with my girlfriend in person. They allowed both of us to freely listen to any headphones we wanted to without trying to be pushy on anything for over an hour and a half. We were provided with two setups so that my girlfriend and I could listen at the same time, which I found to be very thoughtful. The salesperson we worked with always had insightful comments regarding his opinion on the sound when asked, and he even entertained me asking him to try out my personal headphones that I brought to compare. It felt extraordinarily friendly, with no pressure. Though I ended up needing to purchase my desired headphones elsewhere due to a timing issue, I wish I could have given Audio High my business. If you are interested in purchasing high end headphones or speakers, I can't imagine a better place than Audio High. Any future audio needs I have will go through them.

Paul was a great sales rep. One of the friendliest and most transparent shops if you are looking to buy stereo systems in the bay area.

I have been checking to buy a good speaker, decided on KEF but not the specific one that would meet my expectations the best. I needed to listen and compare and get professional advice. Googling I found about Audio High Mountain View where I got exceptional service and just purchased the speakers I now enjoy a lot. It really is a great place for understanding what your options are and deciding how to spend your money given your needs and expectations.

Audio High is a great place to go to if you're in market for your Home Theater & HiFi, Home Automation needs. While, I ended up buying turntable model they don't carry, they were awesome and quite insightful on options they provide as well as connecting me with the distributor, etc. Hopefully, in future I would again interact with them and have them help me with my AV needs. Highly recommended!

Awesome store, the salesman was so accommodating. He let us play whatever music we wanted on the KEF LS60 and Reference 3 Meta for an hour and a half, and he was never pushy or snobby. When I do eventually decide to purchase a speaker, it will be from Audio High because they were so generous and unpretentious with their audition experience.Highly recommended!

I needed some speakers for a remodel, some wall embedded and some stand along. Given Covid/SupplyChain issues, procurement was proving to be difficult. Daniel @ Audio High quickly located some shallow mount KEFs and get them to me meeting our contractors tight schedule.I also auditioned and purchased some KEF LS50 Metas in their well equipped listening room. Drop shipped promptly to our home address.When I needed a ceiling mount Creative Audio speaker to match our out of production existing CA speakers, Daniel suggested a close match replacement. When delivery times extended, he was able to find an appropriate upgraded match.Excellent service and very responsive. Hard to find customer care as good as Audio Highs these days

My search for a pair of floor-standing speakers started in the greater Los Angeles area. Not satisfied with what I found, I went to the SF area. The listing for Audio High looked interesting due to the brands they carry. The moment I sat down in their listening room left me feeling that I'd been bumped from economy to first class. Paul, the person who set up the tracks that I requested, gave me all afternoon to savor the best listening experience to date. It was readily apparent that I had found what I was looking for. Audio High, thanks to Paul, left no doubt in my mind that this was the place. I would recommend to anyone who is in the market for quality audio equipment to make an appointment at Audio High.
