Helpful staff, huge inventory, definitely recommend it.
Came here with my boyfriend looking to buy some drum pads. They had a pretty good selection for a small shop and the prices were equal to what I saw on Amazon. Their products range in pricing which Im glad because I didnt want to go too high-end for a beginners purchase. We were helped out by 2 gentlemen who knew what they were talking about and gave great advice knowing that I didnt know much about the brands. They werent too pushy and I am very happy with my purchase! Will definitely be coming back here.
Things went good. Helpful people too! Used items are in great condition, will recommend to anyone needing DJ supplies and gear!
I think the first time I shopped here might have been over 20 years ago, if not its close to that. This place is a staple of what Id consider to be authentic San Francisco. For as much as SF has changed in recent years, its dope and comforting that WoS is still rock solid. Theyre super friendly, knowledgeable, have more in stock than any other pro audio store Ive ever been to, and on the one occasion I recall where they didnt have an outdated piece of gear that I needed because Im classic like that, they ordered it and got it asap. They have a website as well, which is typically how I shop from them now, considering its usually easier for me personally, but if youre in the neighborhood its definitely worth a stop in
This DJ store has been in my life for over 20yrs...The guys in WS seem nice, but will definitely haggle & then rip you off almost.But I like them and there cold cover of a stereo store.Never have I bought weed, crack or heroin with headed there for some dj equipment needs.Or robbed even.But its out there if you need it.
I spent 2 hours in the store, trying to chose a microphone and non of them was working. They suppose to bring a new one next day. So I called them and one of the sellers refused to check out if it works before Ill come to their store again. They absolutely dont care if their equipment works and what is client needs.
Great customer service. Friendly and welcoming staff. Super helpful and accommodating to your needs while being willing to negotiate a good price with the more you buy. They sell new and used equipment and offer buy back services as well. Highly reccomended.
These guys are knowledgeable and helped me pick out the mic and audio interface I needed quickly and without any BS. One of the staff members helped me carry everything outside to my car around the corner after my purchase. Ill definitely go back to these guys for any other audio gear needs I have.
They are after your money. Bad service. Discount banner outside are completely fake. Once you are paid. your money is gone. Be careful when you shop there. Avoid if possible.
So happy to have a great store so close to me. These guys helped me pick an AMAZING large bluetooth portable speaker with wheels about a year and a half ago. This thing has unbelievable sound and has traveled the world with me to many festivals, outings, etc. Sadly my roommates charged it the wrong way and it eventually killed the battery. I was so sad. But Josh was very helpful when I contacted him about the issue. They quickly put in a order to the manufacturer and within the week I had a brand new battery that is EVEN better than the original for super cheap! They even helped install it when I came into the store. This store (and Josh) get an A+ from me for great customer service. And if your wondering what the speaker was, its a Behringer MPA-40-Pro. They had it listed for cheaper than online sales which was also a + in my book.
I bought a Zed-12Fx mixer and Livid OhmRGB from World of Stereo, and I couldnt be happier with the experience. I had previously purchased an APC40 (v1) from Guitar Centers online store, but it arrived damaged and missing a power cable - they had sold me a floor model without disclosing what it was or the damage, and were only willing to knock off a minimal percentage off the price (I think around 10%) when I brought it back and pointed this out. So I said forget it and just returned the APC40 and looked for an alternative. I found the Livid OhmRGB at WoS, the last one I could find on the internet. I called up WoS (Im on the Eastern US coast) and got ahold of Josh, who was btw off the clock when I got ahold of him. I explained my situation and what I was looking for, and he went in to the store and checked out the equipment for me and answered all my questions over the phone, then helped get it packed up and shipped out that day. We also tried shipping USPS (not their normal carrier) per my request, and he stayed in contact with me through the entire process - even helping get a refund on our shipping costs because USPS did not meet their guaranteed delivery time. Their customer service is beyond top-notch. I highly recommend buying your gear from World of Stereo and supporting their business and the people who work there!!
Basically a music gear pawnshop in a terrible neighborhood, but its hard to do better than their selection in downtown San Francisco. I suppose I love the character of this spot and am willing to overlook its defects because its so unique.Anyway, the staff is relatively knowledgeable and they stock lots of great gear. Its a fantastic place to trade stuff for those who know how to haggle and what they want, or terrible place to shop for the uninitiated. The warehouse-style front doors are always open to Market Street, so you may be accosted by crackheads during your visit, but its usually worth the hassle. Probably a great place to rent PA gear as they have a ton of old high-quality backline amps. A sleazy DJ equipment store in the grand traditional style.
Ive bought all of my decks and microphones here.. one of the only places in the bay with a good selection for djs, from small midi starter decks to the very best in the buiseness!
George and the team are awesome. They took the time to make sure I was getting the right gear for my DJ set up and gave me a great deal on new turntables
My favorite pro audio shop in the bay..... Great repairs on pioneer and dj gear too.
Awesome!!! Great customer service extremely nice helpful people. I took my son PS4 to be fix was done within two hrs. This is my new spot it is worth the drive.
The staff was friendly, but really not knowledgeable. They have no idea what wires you might need to make the equipment work, so you have to get in with this knowledge and control them at every step. They turned my experience into a nightmare once I realized (already at the venue) that the key wire was missing. While still at the store, I had to ask for the wire (they wouldnt proactively propose anything), it was there on the table, I signed the inventory slip, however they forgot to put it into the bag at the last moment. The key moment of the evening was ruined thanks to last 5 seconds of their forgetful service. Not to mention, expensive piece of equipment was rented out to me in a double bag, without a case. Once I was back, it was impossible to prove anything, this is when it became clear the place is super dodgy. I would certainly choose a different provider next time.
Muklas and Louie are them man!Every time I go in there they treat me right. Going out of the way to show me how something works, etc. They even fixed a dimmer pak we had for FREE!! You cant beat that!We mostly buy DJ stuff and lights from them. I see they have power amps and other things, but we havent needed them. Wish they had TVs!!Unlike some of the other reviews, I wish to convey how thankful I am for their support every time we go in.
The new location is amazing and there is parking. The only drawback is that you will be paying top dollar for your items.
Very helpfu...l give you fair prices happy withDJ denon prime series Jbl srx 8000pProfessional equipment
I like World of Stereo. I grew up in New York in the 80s and this is exactly how we used to do it. Everyone I know gets all their gear there, us included. If youre buying DJ equipment, why on earth would you do it any other way?
World of Stereo is my new go to place for all of our audio needs ,If they dont have it in the stores ( 3 Locations ) in most cases it has been a phone call to the factory away.Thank you Muklis
So much stuff I love
Great store for buying or renting any party supplies such speakers, lighting, turntables. Very knowledgeable staff and very wide ranging selection.
I was looking to purchase an OP 1 portable synthesizer. The guy kind of brushed me off, like I wasnt a serious customer. So, I purchased one elsewhere.
I Love the World of Stereo. Ive been shopping there since 1990. The staff is friendly and knowledgable the inventory is amazing and the prices are unbeatable!
Best place to get gear hands down! I have purchased all of my gear from these guys and well go nowhere else.
Always convenient! Great customer service. And cool staff! They always make your visit fit for you!
It was all right,I guess.one of the employees kept haranguing the other employees while customers were there and it seemed unprofessional.other than that it was cool.
Shop here. Customer focused. Happy with my purchase.
Ordered a DDJ-400-N, came in excellent condition and packaging. Thanks!
Quick friendly and fair prices. They have equipment most stores dont.
Best possible place to purchase any great music related. The staff is amazing especially Josh!
Had GREAT service recently in SF! The guys their are great and Im avoiding GC almost exclusively now.
Small store located in a not so great neighborhood, but they carry just about anything you could want terms of pro audio!
Even better than the selection is the fun game of Dont get robbed on the way home that you get to play for free!
Great staff, very kind. EXTREMELY hard to park/load. Bring another person with you always.
Super friendly staff.. good deals and lots of stuff to choose from
They have the stereo systems that are too of line with prices that keep the buyer happy.
Great products
I HAVE BEEN SHOPPING HERE FOR YEARS...THEY ALWAYS HAVE WHAT I NEED AND BEAT EVERY LISTED PRICE IVE EVER SHOWN THEM. IVE ALSO TRADED IN AND UP ON ALL MY OLD GEAR!!!
Helpful owner/employee. Had just the cable I needed and a great selection.
Great place for music and studio goods
Some stuffs expensive but other stuff is really quality and great prices.
Good place to get a deal on all sorts of gear.
The costumer service is really good.High quality products.
Sold me a 6.3mm jack to 3.5mm and it only works on the left side.
Quick service and lots of inventory but lots of unsavory characters in and around make it a sketchy place for large purchases.
Lots of equimpment they will lower prices..of course the prices are set high.
Great shop! Everything you need and want.
Best place in the bay area for dj equipment
Is what it is when you need something last minute without cruising up Van Ness to Guitar Center.

2022-05-24Every time I give these guys a second chance I kick myself afterward. A few months ago I needed 2 dmx cables and 2 5pin-3pin dmx adapters. When I was checking out my eyes nearly jumped out of my skull when I was told the amount due was $120. I paid because Im not the confrontational type, but i will hold a grudge until the day I die. I got in my car, looked up the parts on amazon, and the total came to $60. If I could have waited the day for delivery I would have returned the 4 parts right then and there, but I didnt want to let a client down who had an event that night. Knowing I couldnt invoice them for that much for 4 parts I drove away angry knowing I was eating the cost....and I vowed then and there to drive every dollar I could away from these guys. Now I divert rentals from promoters and clubs to my friends who own systems and away from World Of Stereo. The first time they burned me was for a CDJ800...they kept saying brand new...still in the box never mentioning that it was a refurb and it was only on a card inside the box that it mentioned it was a refurb. If you do go there to get anything understand they will try to pull one over on you. The ONLY good thing they have going for them is they have a nice guy who helps with selection and carrying things to your car...his name is Jeff and hes the only reason they are getting a second star.

2021-03-05WORLD OF STEREO has moved from Market str. and 7th, to 6th st. at Brennan. New space is well organized, serving varied needs of amateur and professional musicians, also just music lovers for gadgets, adapters, speakers etc. Nowdays everyone could be a music producer, vloger or meme creator, - store is eager to accommodate. The owner, Mr. Mouklis ise in this business for last 35 years, first with accent on cameras, but after 9-11, flow of tourists reduced, also phone cameras became prevalent. Meanwhile music scene blossomed as demand for entertainment and means of expression, naturally WORLD of STEREO became a largest and most comprehensive and dependable supplier in San Francisco and Bay area. I personally use store services for seven years and at new location its a pleasure to come for advice and friendly purchase. Amazon, Ebay dont talk to you, plus you may strike a good deal. Have fun.

2022-02-02I was sold a sustain pedal for a Yamaha P-125 that was incompatible with the keyboard, so do your own research as the staff I worked with wasnt that knowledgeable.Staff was also very vague about their return policy when asked. Was told Well make it right which I assumed meant I could only return a product for store credit or if it was damaged/faulty (Which turned out to be the case as stated on the receipt).Overall vibe of the place is kinda sketchy, but thats fine. Id go elsewhere unless I was desperate.

2022-02-03Placed an order on 1/19/2022. Showing online as still pending. Sent 2 emails (1 last week, 1 this week) and left voice message to call or respond as to my order status. No response whatsoever. My card was charged the very next day (1/20/2022). If no response by 2/7/2022, then I will ask for refund and contact both the state attorney general and the BBB.

2020-09-08This is a great business. I ordered some Shure headphones and having forgotten that it was Labor Day weekend, I begin to stalk him on messenger asking where they are. He politely reminded me that it was Labor Day weekend, we laughed and he personally made sure that my headphones went out the very next day, and thats today! Thank you for your excellent customer service. Ill be back! Will definitely recommend this place.
