I came across the Layton site while looking for a more local store, after having had bad experiences in the past with the big chains that sell electronics. I found the model of headphones I wanted, I was very eager to receive them, but the day after the order, the store wrote to me saying that unfor...

If you are looking for a device to play and listen to music this is where you have to go. They have a wide choice of models, rather upmarket, unfortunately also in prices.
The service is ok, but can be better depending on the seller.
The seller who took care of me did not really want to buy. On th...

Great advice and friendly staff!

Great advice and friendly staff!
The employees are really there for you and advise you (not on the most expensive model) they listen to your needs. It's worth the trip and forget about online shopping. You can test here before you buy and you don't feel like a pressure sell.

I had what must have been the worst retail experience ever with Layton Audio. I ordered a replacement wire for my Sennheiser headphones, as mine had worn wires near the jacks that fit into the phones. On the way home I noticed that the package had been opened, with the replacement damaged, so I can ...

I was here a few months ago, and when I entered the store, I was afraid I might be asked to leave for spending so much time without buying anything. Instead, the owner took me aside and so willingly shared his love for headphones and music. He allowed me to try on all kinds of headphones and even op...

I'm so glad I stopped here instead of purchasing headphones online. I had some of the best customer service in months. The man who helped me, possibly the owner, was extremely knowledgeable about his products and thought me so much about headphones. I spent about 30-40 minutes there trying on differ...

The Colombian young guy is knowledgeable and has helped me with technical information about headphones, earphones and DACs, etc. They were friendly (but very busy for ...

He also gave us tips on how to wire our apartment for sound, how to keep the cat...

Staff gives off the vibe that you are bothering them. Customer Service was horrible! First and last time I walk in there! Came in for some repairs, but with their rude service and high price. I will bring my work somewhere else.

Asked about the 'lower end of the spectrum' audio equipment and was hit with a spiel of; 'why would I want to sell the crap they sell in Future Shop'.

Here is a top tip; start with asking what budget your customer has to spend, what are they looking for.

I came to this store for the first time to try and buy the pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50X headphones in black color and I found that they sell it for $ 250. This is $ 50 more than the market price, whether sold online or in any other store. It is simply dishonest and I would not set foot there agai...
