About

The Life Style Store History

The Life Style Store first opened its doors in February 2002 in the Riverbank complex in Parramatta. It was started by three individuals with a passion for quality home and car entertainment products. Having had vast experience within Australia’s largest car audio retailer at the time, the staff were determined to take that experience and develop a business that could take the home theatre and car audio experience to another level.

In mid-2004, the Riverbank complex was sold and the company relocated to its current premises at The Junction in North Parramatta where we have been for over 16 years. Over time the showroom has been expanded to include 17 home entertainment demonstration rooms.

In 2021 a further expansion was commenced to showcase a simulated fully automated home and new Automotive categories. The showroom’s vast array of demonstration rooms and facilities allow you to audition the true home and car entertainment experience as well as home automation systems before making your purchasing decision.

Life Style Store’s retail showroom is based in the fast-growing Western Suburbs/Hills region of Sydney, however the store services customers from all over Sydney and Regional New South Wales.

Whilst a competitive price is always of importance, the quality and suitability of the product are even more important and that is the mantra of the Life Style Store. We will design the right system with the correct components to provide you with the performance and functionality to suit your needs. We are also focused on providing you with the best available products on the market for your requirements, so we have made the conscious decision to not import our own brands so that we can remain impartial. We offer a wide range of products from a carefully selected range of brands which we offer without any bias other than towards their performance, reliability, and value-for-money. You won’t find any low-quality brands at the Life Style Store. Vinod, the company’s co-founder says: “We plan to be here for a long time, so don’t want to waste our time on poor quality products. We want our customers to come back and recommend us to their friends.”

Testimonials

"Recently contacted Vinod at the Lifestyle Store for some guidance on setting up a stereo system of all-in-one nature. We've recently downsized our home and no longer have room nor need for an 11-speaker media room as well as various other speaker zones around the house.

Vinod listened to my use case (mostly streaming, some network and local media, and be great if the TV ran thru this too). He was interested in my thoughts resolutions (rather than just making a call and telling me what to do) and provided me with a sensible recommendation. I countered this and he presented valid points as to why his option would suit me better.

I'm now the proud owner of a Cambridge Audio EVO 75 (for about three weeks) and it is even better than expected. I know this because everybody says so! My wife, one of my sons, and a couple of mates have managed to get around as lockdown eases in NSW.

This is the third time I've had dealings with Life Style Store and it won't be the last - one very happy customer.

"I was looking for a Rega Planar Plus turntable and found one at a really competitive price here. I was able to chat really easy with Alex and he was very helpful and very quick to answer my queries. So kudos to him. I ended up purchasing it following the chat and the manager Varun was also helpful. Overall, a quick and easy purchase and a great price to boot.

The icing on the cake was the free next-day delivery to Melbourne. Really happy with my new turntable and my journey to the world of Vinyl. Highly recommend and will always check out for future HT and HiFi needs.

- Calvin Noronha

"I've been buying Hi-Fi gear from these guys for years. They are very accomodating and helpful and never judge you, even if you prefer other brands that they don't sell. Having said that, they do stock great brands.

I recommend them"

- Andrew Rottinger

"I have been buying from their shop for many years, their customer service is excellent. I recently bought some speaker cables and I want to do the termination myself, surprisingly their shop manager delivered the cables and lend the tool to me, and spent time to teach me how to use the tool. I can say there is no other shop that will provide this kind of service. I would highly recommend Varun their shop manager to you."

"Ordered a couple of Sonos One’s online. Advised there was no stock for 8-10 weeks. Danika suggested I get 1 Sonos One and deliver it personally the same day. Awesome service & great problem solving for a new customer. I will definitely be purchasing from Life Style Store again. Thank you again, Danika."

- Bradley Bryen

"Awesome guys, very knowledgeable and friendly. Purchased an SVS PB 1000 Pro subwoofer and the guys helped me take it to my car and gave me a bit of a discount. Will definitely be coming here again."

"Great experience dealing with Lifestyle Store. They waited 2 years to complete the installation of the home theatre system due to the delay of my build. Aidan and Kitty were pleasant to be in contact with every time. Thank you so much guys. Installation was professionally carried out by Khang and Dominic. Neat, tidy, polite and accommodating. Highly recommended."

- Narida S.

"Purchased Ruark Audio R2 Mk3 Digital Streaming Radio.

Good price after completing an online search.

Excellent professional service."

- Bernard Smith

"Cannot rate the team highly enough. Spent a considerable amount of time with Aidan, the store manager, who made sure every speaker and 2ch amp combo was set up for me to play with. Nothing was too much trouble and he ended up offering a brilliant deal for a Cambridge Evo and SVS Micro combo. Will be back to do a home theatre set up!"

- Luke Beattie

"The team at Lifestyle store is excellent! Particularly shout out to Yun - who has been awesome to deal with, prompt response & providing amazing prices. I have made 3 different purchases over the two lockdowns in Sydney. Look no further if you're looking for excellent gear and service. Give their website chat line a go or call and get a deal! 10 stars!!"

- Ringo Ng

"I was searching for a particular Paradigm product that no one else had left, I saw that Lifestyle Store had it listed.

I decided to use the online chat and the response was fast and very helpful.

I would highly recommend dealing with any of their staff and the process was very fast and friendly."

- Chris Schtork

"Had a chat via their instant messenger on their website with Alex and he was a pleasure to talk to. As someone who wasnt sure what to purchase he was able to provide feedback in which i was able to make a educated purchase. The team even went out of their way by baring my speaker cable as they knew i would have to do it eventually. Highly satisfied"

- Bronson Truong

"Big thanks to Laurence, Fadi and the team at Lifestyle. Amazing shop and service.

Great job on the amarok, the new stereo with astell and kern player and optical input is a music experience

- David Van Dorssen

"Jamie's AV knowledge backed by his genuine desire to achieve the best possible outcome within our budget really impressed me. We could not be happier with his service. 5 stars!"

- John Sukkar

"I would have no hesitation recommending the Life Style Store. We planned a major home renovation and used TLS for the design, purchase and installation of all the sound, TV and network equipment. From the first contact with Aidan, who helped us design the system and select the components, through to the great installation team (James, Brandon and Aaron), these guys were a pleasure to deal with -- knowledgeable, flexible, responsive and price competitive. Full marks!"

- David N.

"I found Emmanuel and the entire lifestyle team very co operative and helpful from the beginning and helped me find the right home theatre lounge at the best price. Nothing was ever a problem and I totally recommend them ! As a repeat customer I'll be back again for sure!"

- Pino Egiziano

"First encountered these guys 7 years ago at the Sydney home expo. I purchased a fully installed Paradigm/Marantz home theatre system with all the bells and whistles, with a generous discount. And the service didn’t stop there. They travelled all the way to the central coast on more than one occasion to install various components during the build of my home. They were punctual, professional and very knowledgeable with their work. And their after sales service was exemplary. I’m looking forward to dealing with these guys again soon for an upgrade.

Highly recommended."

- Scott Missen

"Absolutely amazing service from Vinod, ultra-responsive to emails (including over the weekend and after hours). Was very helpful in helping me decide on the right 5.1 system and gave a fantastic price on the final package. Really happy with my purchase and the service I received"

- Peter F.

"Purchased over the phone. Great service, attention to detail was fantastic. Sorting out suitable cables and plugs for the speakers I was purchasing was intuitive and helpful. Completely understood my needs, terminated my cables and was able to pick up within a couple of hours. Couldn't be happier."

- Jeremy Henderson

"I've been looked after by the guys at the Life Style for more than a decade and they continue to provide me with outstanding and knowledgeable service! They answer all my technical questions and help me make wise buying decisions. I have referred many family and friends and will not hesitate to continue doing so. Great value is not only measured in a good deal, but also a good experience."

- Michael Coorey

"We had a home theatre installed by Vinod and the team in 2014 and we could not be happier with the product and more importantly ongoing customer service and support. We have had the rare occasion to require some assistance , including our first globe change just recently and the experience was just as good as the initial sale and install. I could not recommend Life Style Store highly enough."

- Jeff Bridges

"Great audio shop. Huge selection of products. Ground floor is dedicated to home theatre systems, while first floor (my favourite) is dedicated to stereo music."

- Gottrek K

"Emmanuel from Life Style Store has been amazing to deal with and suit our needs. Very knowledgeable and answered all questions thrown at him. Put together an amazing package for us and even goes out of his way during after-hours to get back to us with queries we had. Amazing service."

- Christian Cicchini

"Excellent product knowledge and service from the team at Life Style Store. Whilst dealing with Brendan, Varun, and Danika each and every one of them has been honest, polite, and professional from day one. They offer great advice and are always keen to do a deal that best suits your needs. Parcels are packaged very well by Danika and they arrive undamaged, safe, and on time.

5-star company to deal with, and I will definitely use them again in the future."

- Anthony Letto

"Superb service from Brendan and his team, helping me with an Audio Research pre-amplifier trade in and upgrade, even replying to my emails out of hours. At the last minute my trade -in needed a replacement part, but despite the delay in getting it repaired they very kindly allowed me to take the new unit regardless, saying there's no point in having it just waiting in the store. A very happy experience - thank you Brendan!"

- Michael Scott

"A fantastic team of people. Really know what they are doing and communicate well. Quality workmanship at every turn. They clean up any mess and were even good enough to take the boxes with them! Highly recommend business."

- Bradford Berry

"Great service! Everyone at Lifestyle Store was exceptional throughout my order including delivery people. I had to process an exchange and nothing was a problem or too hard. I'd like to say thank you to all - Well done."
