About Us
About Us
First things first: everyone is welcome at Stereo Stereo. You don’t have to be an audiophile to feel comfortable and respected here. We provide helpful service without judgement, always. There’s no such thing as a stupid question here.
Quality is another primary element of Stereo Stereo’s mission. We carry the best audio equipment available, from headphones to a complete stereo system with high-end speakers. Our products will help you and your loved ones experience music like you’ve never heard it before—so much better better than the tinny sound you get from cheap Bluetooth speakers and earbuds.
We offer a unique shopping experience in an age characterized by sight-unseen online purchases. You’ll get to touch, see and hear anything you buy from us, and we’ll be by your side to help make a decision about what to buy. Our Pittsburgh-area showroom features a wide range of products on active display that our owner, Michael, will personally demonstrate for you in order to help dial in exactly what you need. Surprising someone you love with a pair of headphones or a complete stereo system can feel like a big swing, but with Michael by your side, you’ll feel confident that you’re making the right choice.
We offer 1:1 consultation appointments for customers who want to discuss their options or learn more about what we offer before making a purchase. Consultations are held at our beautiful Pittsburgh-area showroom in Warrendale, Pennsylvania. If you aren’t sure exactly what might make sense and want to learn more about the world of high-end audio, book a consultation appointment to get the process started.
About Budget
About Budget
We’ll be honest: our products aren’t the most affordable personal audio options available. “Cheap” has two meanings, after all. It can mean something that doesn’t cost a lot of money, but it can also mean something that is poorly made and not of high quality. When it comes to audio equipment, “cheap” often means both things at once.
Still, you don’t have to be Milburn Pennybags to find a great gift here. We offer excellent wired headphones starting at $150. If you’re interested in a complete stereo system, our entry-level options start at about $2,500 for a complete setup including every single component you’d need. Even though our highest-end systems can extend into the six-figure range, our entry-level systems are truly excellent and will provide an incredible listening experience.
We will never pressure you to spend more than you feel comfortable with. If you tell us your budget is $5,000, we’ll show you options that fit within that range. Even if your budget is higher than that, we will recommend what is best, not what is most expensive. We’re focused on what will provide the most enjoyment, not on what carries the highest price tag.
What We Sell
What We Sell
We don’t sell any wireless audio products.
What? Why?
Two reasons: audio quality and listening experience.
Wireless technologies are lightweight and highly portable, and that’s convenient. But they don’t deliver high-quality sound. Even the best Bluetooth speakers and earbuds can’t deliver the highest-quality sound. That’s because the information that gets sent to Bluetooth is compressed, which means part of the information from the original file won’t make it from the player to the speaker. If you just want to listen to something to distract you while you’re working out, or listen to a podcast while you do the dishes, Bluetooth is useful. But if you want to really immerse yourself in something—a favorite album, or the soundtrack to a video game or movie, you need to use a wired speaker or headphone. And not just any wired audio product will deliver that kind of listening experience.
To be able to fully focus on just one thing is a luxury. And there are few things that are as satisfying to focus on than the music that moves you. If the person you’re shopping for is busy, if they don’t get enough time to themselves, a pair of wired headphones or a complete stereo system is a great way to show them how much you appreciate all their hard work and want to give them some personal space to relax. We can’t clear a busy schedule or permanently cure stress, but we can help you provide some space to breathe and enjoy great music.
