      Brilliant service. Fast and affordable. I struggled to find people who could repair stuff, and I was weary of using the online … read more form as it didn't look that trust worthy. But, the process of requesting a quote, sending off my headphones, and making a payment was super easy and fast. My headphones work great and I've avoided buying for a similar model (that wouldn't be as good as these). Thanks!

      Electronic Partners in Telford did a good repair on my B&W Zeppelin first generation which had developed a few faults. … read more The app they use for notifications such as invoices, estimates, receipts etc is automated and is really excellent. The requested repair was also carried out efficiently, and I am very pleased with the result. I have dropped one star in my review because the repair included replacing a red/green LED, and the red LED is so bright that the surrounding fabric is also illuminated, whereas the green LED is quite dim and can only be seen from certain angles. I guess that EP found it difficult to procure the original LED component which is undoubtedly a B&W special.

      I thought my cherised 1970's Hitachi Music Centre was beyond repair until I found on Google Electronic Partners in Telford. … read more They restored it completely and replaced the woofer in both speakers, I couldn't have been more delighted. They kept me informed throughout advising me of part's required and costs which I paid as and when needed which was far better then being presented with a large bill at the end. I found all the staff and engineers very kind and respectful and certainly recommended this company to anyone. Well done everyone keep up the brilliant work 10/10.
