Rockville Audio Reviews Summary

The company's reputation is significantly marred by complaints regarding product quality and customer service. Many customers report frequent equipment failures shortly after purchase, often just beyond the warranty period, and express frustration with the quality of materials used. Customer service is consistently criticized for being unresponsive and unhelpful, with long wait times and unresolved issues, particularly concerning returns and refunds. Despite a few positive experiences regarding specific products, the overwhelming sentiment indicates a lack of reliability and support, leading customers to recommend seeking alternatives for audio equipment.

Rockville is Trash Don't waste your money!
May 8, 2022

I purchased a Rockville home Surround sound within 2 months the remote broke because it's so cheaply made, contacted customer service told them about it they said they would send an email. I never received an email contacted them again wanting a refund they said they would get back to me within a day. Still haven't heard from them. Note: you can not use the Surround sound without the remote! $165 wasted! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS TRASH BRAND!

I was ready to order RPA60BT V2 audio receiver described 5.2 audio. On another page as part of the same product it was specific as a 2.0 unit, I called "Rockville" tech support. The representative told me that the real spec should be 2.0 or stereo; not 5.2 at all. Having never heard of "Rockville Pro Sound & Lighting" before, I googled customer reviews for "Rockville" as a company. On all 5 categories the average review listed as 2 star at best!. The number of complaints and unresolved issues INCREDIBLY HIGH! Therefore, I resumed my search for a quality 5.2 receiver

Product I received
February 14, 2022

I've dealt with this company for a long time and the one time they sent me something that didn't work the service was crappy I hate that I'm done with them because I've gotten some nice equipment But I couldn't take the service I got today. It's like they don't care abt righting their wrongs.

DONT BUY FROM ROCKVILLE!
January 25, 2022

This company does not know how to run a company... The customer service reps lie and treat thier clients with no respect. If you ask they a question you get a word salad like as if you are a 2 year old. I bought 2 speakers for a specifc date/Gig. They send one and then tried to blame it on FEDEX... When all the time they did not ship the second with the first. I tried calling to explain the situation and the agent just keep saying the same thing over and over which was a complete lie.

BUYER BEWARE!
December 20, 2021

Be prepared for damaged goods on arrival due to poor packaging and if you are not in the USA, they will NOT send any replacement parts. Time wasting customer service workers also took way too many emails to finally get to the point that they don't provide an international warranty. Rockville is a company that is happy to take money from international customers but won't have anything to do with after sales. Chinese companies are better than that! I expected more from the USA, but I guess that is prejudice.

Order canceled
December 15, 2021

Bad expirience, placed an order twice and was canceled, first time they stated that billing address was wrong, second time they canceled bec shipping address neess to be the same of billing, if that's the case, why the system allows to put 2 addresseson addition to that when you order something, is important to ship items to an address that someone is there to receive to avoid shipping stolen.

Incredible system
December 14, 2021

I purchased the BPA 15 karaoke system, very sharp looking, I had a show to do this last Friday night, and everyone was raving about the incredible sound, crystal clear, the vocals from the wireless easy to blend with the music, no squash. The customer service was stellar, everything happened just as they said it would one of the smoothest purchases I have made in a while.

Never again
November 2, 2021

Customer service is really bad, called more than 3 months ago for parts on a DVD headrest. They created a ticket but never called back. I called them several times and they say they'll call when part is available. I'd rather they just say they don't sell them so I didn't have to wait for nothing. Never again.

If by some chance my review kicks me in the $#*! I will own up to it in another review being a man and owning up to my mistake. I haven't hooked up my amp or subs yet, but I know one thing, I didn't pay thousands of dollars for a product that I except to perform like that high dollar product. I know enough that I may encounter problems with my purchase already and I know enough to be prepared for the possibility of that. I am also not a MORON, I know that if you prepare and expect something in advance then the issue is usually not that big of a deal, also don't complain about something you yourself installed and then blame the product for it failing. Especially if you yourself are not an experienced installer. If your an idiot then your gonna have issues with your install and failure of the system. Wrong wiring is s huge problem and nobody will own up to their mistakes. Instead they blame the product for the reason it broke. Now if you use the wrong gauge wiring for power, ground and speakers then you can expect a sound issue and also s failure of the amp or speakers or both. Do think about that before you point your finger at what or who you think is the problem. That's just what we intelligent people call common sense, so again before you go and write a negative review on something you probably caused yourself think! RIGHT! Makes Sense to the majority of us in the world that have COMMON SENSE! I'm not smart by book standards, but I know enough about the way the real world works. Thanks to ROCKVILLE in advance for a product that I believe based on test numbers compared to the more expensive competitors that my experience has a better chance at being positive then it does of being negative. The Amps and Subs based on numbers show or prove to me that they are not garbage. Again #'s don't lie and if I was a betting man I would bet that the performance of what I purchased is gonna be far better than the extremely expensive and well known names in the business. It's not all about price and watts, it's the overall performance and some numbers are more important to the people that know what matters. Also how that product performs compared side by side to its competition.
