I have been a customer of Geoff’s for about 4 years now. I have bought DACs, headphones, speakers and now even a very colourful integrated amplifier from him. I started with a DAC for my headphones. When I first walked in, the experience there was like no other high end shop I had been in. It was purely about the product and how things worked. In principle, but most importantly, for YOU. The way Geoff can nuance a product to its buyer is unmatched. I had never thought that 5 years ago, that today upon writing this I’d be looking at my integrated amp that I just bought thanks to him. The way he accommodates people and his ethics wouldn’t have made this possible for me otherwise. I felt heard, and as an autistic someone, to have my sensory needs understood in a way that felt satisfying to me is very uncommon. But, that wasn’t the case at all. His knowledge, understanding and zealous drive to make sure you get what you want or be shown something you didn’t even know was possible is what keeps me coming back. There’s a very natural way about him and his business that I think many people could and should learn from. Honest business is a rarity these days, but here’s someone that gives you a feeling like you’re learning more about yourself through sound and very good conversation. Thank you for getting me on this road Geoff. All this has been life changing and I can’t wait for what’s next!

Geoff was easy to speak with and had a delightful manner over the phone. I went ahead and agreed to purchase a dac for, to me, a large amount (never spent that much on an audio equipment). I had to chase him to settle the balance since his invoice specified a due date. He then promised to ship the item the following day. That didn't happen. At this point, I was very much concerned - and stressed, given the amount that I already paid (and given that scams were in the news). I had to chase him again. He said he was very busy and didn't have anyone to help him. He then promised to ship the item first thing the following day. I didn't receive any word the following day and I had to follow up again around 2pm. I finally received an email with the tracking number around 2.30pm. This was the only time I was able to 'breath!' The experience, especially since I didn't know Geoff and haven't dealt with him before and I was not in Melbourne, was stressful. I have to say, though, that I am pleased with the dac I got.

My experience with HeyNow Hi-Fi was lacking to say the least. Messaged Geoff about a year ago, asking about availability of a Rega Planar 3 glass platter…I received no reply for a week. I politely sent a follow up message, and Geoff replied about 3 days later saying he would look into stock, lead time and price and get back to me shortly…then disappeared with no further contact. I was going to send a further follow up message, but decided Geoff should be making some more effort and I felt this was becoming a little one way, so I moved on to another retailer who was more than helpful and customer service focused and so I went on to make many more hi-fi purchases since from that retailer. I wasn’t sure if this was a one off experience, or other customers were having similar experiences with HeyNow Hi-Fi and Geoff…now looking at some other reviews here, I see I wasn’t the only one, so I thought I’d add my experience here to make others aware.

  • Rajesh K

I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to Goeff at HeyNow Hi-fi. I brought a second hand set of headphones from a fellow Audiophiler which unfortunately became faulty under warranty. Geoff was amazingly helpful and honoured the warranty claim, no questions asked! I know other stores would have just thrown out the claim saying warranties cannot be transferred - your problem etc. He was also kind enough to let me choose a different colour - service at its best. Thanks so much Geoff. If and when I come to MEL next, I'll be sure to pop in to say hello and thank you in person

  • Cameron James

Ordered and Received a NAD3050LE Amplifier. It was a bit of a spur of the moment decision, but the functional shopping list was well and truly met with lots of inputs, two speaker terminals, wifi, bluetooth (two way), phono pre-amp, intergrated amp, dac, streamer, but the real reason for the purchase was the beautiful walnut veneer & VU meters, the best of old & new. Great fun building a full system around this beast. Geoff from HeyNow was great with pricing and keeping me informed on progress. super happy customer here

  • Anurag Sethia

I was after a complete system and have recently purchased a great small system from HeyNow Hi-Fi, including Vivid Kaya S12 speakers, a NAD C399 integrated amplifier and a KEF KC62 subwoofer. Geoff gave me a very good deal and was very easy to talk to in terms of the equipment and delivery. For myself, it is reassuring to deal with someone who is knowledgeable and has been in the business for a long time. Excellent service, would highly recommend Geoff and HeyNow HiFi to anyone looking to purchase Hi-Fi equipment.

  • Derek Giles

I recently purchased a top end Definitive Technology centre speaker with Geoff. He gave me a wonderful deal and was able to deliver it to me personally as well. I was very impressed with his excellent customer service which is very hard to find these days. Today, he was my first port of call as I wanted to upgrade my receiver. Again, he gave me a wonderful deal and it was a pleasure dealing with him. He made the whole process so simple. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase hifi equipment.

  • Grahame Ritchie

Superb service and communication from a fabulous looking hifi store. All communication was over the phone from interstate but such was the engaging manner of Geoff, it was almost as if I was in the store! Geoff instinctively understood what I was after and, with gentle guidance, helped me to take the next step in my long music adventure in the form of a yellow Perreaux amplifier. Thanks, and I look forward to visiting in person.

  • Graeme Teague

What sets HeyNow Hi-Fi above other Audio / Visual Retailers is that Geoff will take the time to understand your thoughts in the product you wish to purchase and then tailor a solution that will best suit your individual needs. We have purchased multiple products now from Geoff and will certainly be back in touch for future purchases. A gentleman with a friendly nature that gives you that reassurance of the correct choice made.

  • Simon Phillips

So excited to have a new approach to indulging my passion in hi-fi. Geoff has a great setup which allows private listening sessions. His experience and background mean there is no pressure to buy specific brands or from a single distributer. Rather his broad collection of equiment means you get an amazing appreciation for what is on the market. I highly recommend you try the new way of experiencing and purchasing hi end audio.

  • J Jo

Because in different cities, I contacted through email. Before placing the order, the response was very fast, but after I placed the order and received the speaker, I sent another email due to a lack of accessories, but did not receive any response I can't believe how high Google's score is. Perhaps this is my first and last time buying hifi products here, and I won't recommend my friends either.

  • George Kourlas

Geoff really knows hifi. Add to that a great person who listens, then gives excellent advise. Very easy and professional to deal with. He'll go the extra mile to make sure you are set up properly and leave you happy with the choice you made. I was unsure which Brands to match together but Geoff gave me a lesson on components and makers. Do yourself a favour and talk to Geoff at Hey Now Hifi

  • Robert Follis

Great boutique Hi-Fi store and Geoff is very knowledgeable, helpful and not at all pushy. Currently trying to decide on a new high-quality active loudspeaker for my office and after a demo in which I had a hard time deciding, Geoff offered a home trial which I will be taking him up on after Christmas. One of the few retailers in Melbourne I would confidently recommend to friends and family.

  • Garry Paternoster

This is my first two transactions with Geoff after an earlier phone conversation and event meeting discussion his honest approach impressed me. It has been my experience over many years ethical honest dealers are few and far between I could and would recommend Geoff to any of my friends without question his advice is spot on with keen pricing rare.

  • Grace Chandler

A very personable experience. Geoff was very patient and generous with his time! There were a couple of unforeseeable hiccups in my particular order, but HeyNow Hi-Fi went above and beyond to make everything work out for me. On top of that, they were transparent and in constant contact along the way. I really appreciated it. Definitely recommend!

  • George Hassell

Purchased a set of Tellurium Q Ultra Black ii speaker cables from Geoff at Heynow HiFi. Such a lovely guy to deal with. Cables arrived sooner than expected & I am very impressed with the quality. A great step up from my QED Silver Spiral. Thanks Geoff & all involved. A great team who I will look forward to dealing with in the future.

  • Mitchell Smith

Fantastic to work with these guys. I'm an interstate client and we choose the team from HeyNow HiFi because of the knowledge service and detail they provide is second to none. Anyone can sell Av Hifi equipment but not many have the expertise experience and knowledge to back it up. HeyNow are ontop of the game Mitch PAVS Sydney.

  • Andrew Thomas

Geoff at HeyNow is a pleasure to deal with, I have returned to him many times for advice about components and accessories. He has done some great deals for me and I recommend him very highly for his knowledge and service. His showroom is a fantastic place to audition gear ( when we’re allowed) with a great brand range.

  • Adrien S.

Spent a few hours with Geoff this morning listening to some systems whilst Evaluating a DAC. Lovely Guy, very Knowledgeable and helpful. Genuinely interested in, and enthusiastic about, Hi Fi, and more importantly, the Music. Personalized service. The Antithesis of the high street Audio dealers. Thoroughly recommended

  • Jozef Lehotsky

I decided to really spoil myself and set my eyes on purchasing the Meze Elites. Geoff was genuine and very helpful in his approach. He offered the most competitive price I have seen anywhere and I am extremely happy with my purchase! HeyNow Hi-fi will be my first choice for high-grade audio equipment from now on.

  • Kenny Weir

With Geoff, I dropped some bucks on audio gear. From Geoff, I got beaut bang for those bucks and wonderful sound. But it was even better than that. Having had several less than stellar experiences with audio dealers in the past, working with Geoff was more than passable – it was a positively enjoyable experience!

  • adb

I have dealt with Geoff now for several purchases over the past three years. He has always provided sound (!) advice and is prompt and efficient. I also feel comfortable discussing hi fi related topics, as Geoff has an open minded approach to the many different paths we take up the ‘listening to music’ mountain.

  • andrewkateb

Geoff has a wonderful selection of headphones, speakers, amps and dacs and is more than happy to chat and help you work out the best products for your needs and budget without feeling rushed or that you're being pushed in any way. I'll be back soon to seriously look at those T&A Solitaire Ps! Thnaks Geoff!!!

  • Leanne Longhurst

I bought a fantastic pair of head phones from Geoff and his service was fantastic, he even followed up a couple of weeks later to see how I was going with my new ears. Excellent service, quality of products and just all round easy to do business with! Thanks Geoff Much Appreciated!

  • Raja Jata

Geoff makes a genuine effort to understand your requirements and gives an unbiased advise. He sourced my JL F112 V2 across the border just so I can get it before Christmas. Definitely pleased with the whole experience and can confidently recommend HeyNow HiFi for all your AV needs.

  • Jim Birch

Booked an appointment with Geoff to listen to a complete system based around a Lavardin/Harbeth combination. Geoff was very generous with his time and was not pushy. I was looking for a CD based system and am very happy with what I purchased. Warmly recommended.

  • Anthony Dart

I have replaced a lot of my Hi-Fi components over the last 2 years. All from Heynow. Geoff has been most helpful in providing advice and is a pleasure to deal with. I have particularly appreciated being able to exchange an item which did not work for me.

  • Ray Coplin

Excellent communication from Geoff who is very knowledgeable about his products. His advice is honest and reliable and these features are displayed clearly through his personal communication skills. Good salesman with very personable people skills!

  • Kevin A

I have been dealing with Geoff for several years now. He has enabled me to expand my enjoyment of music to levels that keep me up way too late at night listening!. I consider him more than just a hifi retailer but as someone who is prepared

  • Luke Anthony

I had purchased a Rega P3 + Exact at another store and had doubts as to how well it was setup so I called Geoff and asked if he sets up turntables. He said he can have Tony have a look at it for me. I also purchased a Rega Neo PSU MK2 from

  • Peter Beckman

I had been planning to update my hifi speakers for 12 months, reading and cross-checking reviews. Eventually I was ready to buy, or thought I was, when Harbeth speakers came onto my horizon and this required a reset. I was able to connect

Geoff and Garrett are the best in the business. Very professional and knowledgeable they both helped me out as i didn't know much at all about Dolby Atmos how its meant to be set up. The type of speakers i needed with my current system.

  • Guy Savoy

Bought some power cables from Geoff. Not a huge purchase but Geoff was very responsive, even replying by text late in the evening. This attention to customers bodes well. When I need to upgrade anything I will certainly look here first.

  • Lachlan Fennen

I wish I'd known about Geoff and HeyNow Hifi a long time ago. It's wonderful to find a hifi retailer with a large range of options and such a balanced approach to discussing the pros and cons of each brand rather than just focussing on

Geoff is amazing and very knowledgeable. He works with his customers to achieve their best outcomes rather than pushing them in a direction that he has in mind for them. I will be working with Geoff again
