I really liked the selection. They had records, cds, movies, books, shirts and lots of other merchandise.
My dvd arrived earlier that the proposed 10 day window; the dvd plays perfectly. very good sound garden Syracuse
Would love to give more stars but me and my sister were being followed in the store by one of the employees. Made the trip there uncomfortable 😢
The last of The brick and mortar music stores and an absolutely amazing place to visit if youve never been
This place is so great. Just go there and hang out for 15 minutes and you will feel better.
Awesome record store, i always come by when im in the area and leave with an emptier wallet
Pretty sweet place....alot of music ! Supports local artists
New or used music and movies. Also so much more. One of my favorite places to go in town to dig through the crates or look for a movie. Knowledgeable, friendly staff who will help you any way they can.
Always a vast, diverse and eclectic assortment of new and used music and movies available. CD, DVD, Blue ray and vinyl.Stickers, posters, magnets,incense, band/artist/novelty tees, pop culture sundry, some books, hats, scarfs, sunglasses...not as great as the record stores around here when I was growing up but they are all gone and The Sound Garden isnt so put that in your blown glass pipe and smoke it!
Glad I stopped in. Found some good jams. 🤙👀 💿
Traveled from Ohio for this gem! Ive heard nothing but amazing things from my friends that visited New York, I just had to see for myself. Theyre so incredibly reasonably priced its crazy. They have all genres of vinyl, from new age to older records. They sell everything from vinyl to blue rays, CDS, and fun stickers. Highly recommend this place.
This is THE only LP vinyl store in town, and they often sell tickets. I hope they survive!
Best place for death metal and deathcore type cds in the area by far!
Dopest record store in a 4 hour radius for sure. I drive an hour once a month to drop a few hundred to add to my record collections. Probably my favorite store on the planet. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Don’t hesitate to make the trip here!
One of the best stores in Syracuse. Certainly the best store for music & media. ❤️
The staff is wonderful always great prices
Lots of rock and metal vinyls and CDs. Recommend.
Looking for records? Or maybe the small bookshelf with interesting titles? CDs, blue rays and concert t shirts, stickers. Worth checking out if youve never been!
I always find something there, whether its a sticker, cd or vinyl album.Love to poke around.
Decent selection and top-notch staff who can find anything in stock or give great suggestions on trying to find that out of print selection youre hunting. Fair prices on the used items and never had an issue with being able to play any of used the CDs or movies.
Awesome place! They carry music in a few different mediums; vinyl, CDs, and even cassettes. They also carry DVDs, books, board games, and some odds and ends. They always have some cool music playing, and the employees are always nice. Definitely an interesting place to stop in Syracuse if you are visiting.
Amazing selection!!! Helpful staff willing to try and order any record or album you are looking for! 10/10
Great store! They had my favorite incense which is awesome!
Polished record store with some used CDs
Plenty of music options, its been awhile since Ive been in, glad we stopped.
With a good majority of physical CD stores closing, it is absolutely refreshing to see this place is still going. I havent seen such an amazing selection of CDs and vinyl in years. I highly recommend going here whenever you are in Syracuse. I will be back!
Went there to get tickets for a concert and was reminded of how long its been since weve gotten some new music, love it that. The clerks were very nice, attentive and helpful. 👍
If you love music on vinyl, cds etc, and youre in Syracuse, NY: this is the place to go! Im from out of state. I walked in and the Rain Dogs album by Tom Waits was playing (a good sign, for me). Then Highway 61 Revisited followed (This is a great sign, for me) and I left the store w my haul as Desolation Row was fading out. A wonderful business with a great staff! The clerk even asked if the hat I was wearing was from the movie The Natural. It was, I told him. A very friendly, engaging and helpful gentleman. - Do yourself a favor and check this place out!
Fave record store I always find something to add to my collection
Love this place! Such an amazing selection of used and new CDs. Great prices and most are in really great condition too. And the staff are super nice and helpful! One of my favorite record shops in upstate New York!
Overall a great store! Great selection and excellent costumer service. My only problem is that they put paper stickers on the movie packaging. I bought three criterion collection films each for $10 (which is a steal cause they cost round $40) but they had the paper stickers which usually have some residua left when pealing off. Can’t complain cause the price is so cheep it’s just I would have loved to have my films in better condition.
Love the prices on used items!! great and helpful staff!! so many cool items in stock as well.still a wonderful place to visit!! keep on being great, soundgarden of syracuse!!
Incredible. I wasnt alive for the days of record stores as I was born in 91 but this is what i imagine one looked like. The vibe was just top notch. They have a huge variety selection as well. The young taller one helped me find quite a few cds I wanted in literally seconds. Everyone seems friendly and I will def be going back next time Im in town. Cant think of a bad thing to say, even the new vinyls are priced decent $20-$30 but cds are cheap $5-$20 new
A small shop located downtown that offers records, cds, and cassettes (both new and used), as well as DVDs, and a small selection of books and games. Stickers, t-shirts, and other items round out the things youll find in this popular location formed on the love of music.
Dope as always... super friendly folks, chill vibe, great selection.
Great place to go and check out movies, cds and vinyl albums. I like the high def blu-ray section and the video and board game section there. I also enjoy looking at the knick knacks that are funny and witty.I also want to note that the staff is super friendly.
Love this store. Everyone who works here is real nice, and they actually have *gasp* a nice selection of music! Head to the back to find some really solid vinyl.
A dope place with dope people. The workers actually care about what albums you want. I was able to get a Shore by Fleet Foxes by them with some help from the staff in under a week. Which ever employee parted with their Shore album is a god send to me
Although the selection of vintage records is small, I managed to find an album I was on the hunt for and for a crazy good deal. Lots of new albums compared to other local stores. Tons of CD’s and games too.
Always up to date on new music and always has the music and videos your looking for rather it Ms brand new or used
One of the few music stores in the area that you can buy new music still in the wrap. They also sell used CDS and other formats as well. They even have some local music in stock. They have plenty of parking too.
Love the large selection of music and movies. Has other gems of gift ideas such as cute magnets, candles, socks and more. Friendly and helpful employees.
Not as good as it used to be. Much smaller selection in movies. Most of the store now seems to be dedicated to music.
Pretty much the best record store in the Syracuse area
Sound garden is one of my favorite places in the city. I love the friendly atmosphere and professionalism of the employees. I find everything Im looking for when i go there from games, music, movies, and various other items and collectables. This place is a gem and city staple. Thank you for your contribution. 🙏🙏🙏🕶 P.S. if they dont have what youre looking for they can also order it for you such as rare and hard to find classic movies in great quality.
Been here several times. Great place to find DVDs and CDs you may be missing. Found all the DVDs I was looking for this trip. Fun place to shop. Extremely helpful staff.
Nice environment to go and just finger though all sorts of media.
Good selection of music across genres. Parking kinda annoying.
This store is absolutely fantastic. Usually dont write reviews but I really felt the need to for this place. My favorite thing about it is how they have everything from modern music to the unknown and obscure across each genre, and they have every genre, even a great electronic selection which I really appreciate. I found Ed Banger Records Ed Rec 100 CD compilation here, still cant believe they had that. Looking forward to seeing whats in stock here the next time I come to Syracuse :)
Great selection of media. Books, movies, records and cds. Friendly staff and a unique selection means you can browse this store for hours. Parking can be a bit of a pain but they do have a small parking lot for their store.
I needed to buy a needle for my parents 1980s turntable and had not a clue where or what type of needle I needed. They did not sell that specific needle but were amazing with helping me figure out what needle I needed and how to get it. Absolutely amazing customer service!
I brought some family in from out of town and they were amazed by the extent of the selection. The staff as always were super helpful to everyone. Appreciated the courteous effort of all the staff.Thanks alot.
Huge selection of music. Tons to look at throughout the space. Could spent hours here and have at this legendary place over the decades. Staff is always helpful and friendly.Rock n Roll baby!
Best place around for music on CD, vinyl and cassette if youre into that. Theres thousands of movies and TV show boxsets to choose from. They even have fun clothing, board games and books. Great place run by great people
Soundgarden is its own thing for the general area. Anytime you are downtown you should consider stopping in. Especially if you are a record collector. They tend to have hidden gems in their used section, as well as some awesome bootlegs scattered even among their newer records. Of course their used and new movie selection is nothing to slouch at either. I love this place. The staff is always friendly to me, and the general vibe is something I enjoy. If youre never been, make sure to pop in. And if you ever find yourself in Baltimore, make sure to check out the sister store.
I love walking around this place every once and awhile, just to see what new stuff they have. Huge selection of CDs and records. Socks, t-shirts, and do-dads of various types. Great place when you are looking for something for yourself or as a gift for a music lover.
Cannot say more than....none better...anywere!!!
Wonderful selection of music. I never leave this place without buying something. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable of good music. I wish I could go there more often, but Inwould break my bank account.
I love Soundgarden. The people are always friendly and the selection is awesome although somewhat limited. They have movies, cds, vinyls, books and a lot of other things. (They also have B-horror movies from vinegar syndrome which kicks but!!)
One of my favorite, and one of the last music and movie stops worth making, anytime I am Crossing NYS on the Thruway.Love the music choices, eclectic people who work here. Always knowledgable, always friendly, even to an old geek like me.Found this place when my daughter attended SU, stop here any and every chance I get, always fun, always educational, always a great selection of music can not find everywhere.Great store in a great location, love it!
Hubby loves this place. He absolutely LOVES, LIVES FOR MUSIC. MOVIES, trading his stuff for credit, to then SPEND at this awesome place!!!! Amazing. Totally recommend
Very knowledgeable staff. Love the atmosphere here. Its a must-visit for any music fans in Syracuse. They have a good selection with a lot of American artists, but dont have a lot of less mainstream non-American artists. Still, I really cant recommend this place enough!
Whats not to like about going to the record store? Yes, they do sell records along with new and used items. Very cool place to check out the things you love. Plus they have good deals. The associates are always friendly and helpful when you ask them questions.
Staff was super friendly and knew their inventory well, they special ordered two albums for me!! Also found a super rare album that I could never find anywhere else!!!
Soundgarden is one of the last old-time music stores around. Of the selection of new and used CDs and DVDs. Also they have a very good selection of vinyl. I have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful. It is definitely a place that you need to take your time and search throughout me and tire store. They also carry a selection of novelties, and paraphernalia. They also are a distributor of tickets too many local music events.
This hidden gem has been a staple throughout my adult years, scratching many itches that nobody else could. After recently buying a Victrola I headed there immediately and didnt leave before planning my next visit.
Nice collection of vinyl, CDs, and not just music but pop culture paraphanalia at decent prices. Surprisingly also have rugged inexpensive backpacks and small bags. Cashier very nice and friendly. Cool place.
The prices are good. The staff is okay, usually helpful. Their choice of ambient music gives me a headache. They had a planet of the apes Blu Ray boxset marked 14.99. I asked the person on floor if it was priced Right. He said yes. Went to register and it was 29.99. The cashier scraped off the 14.99 sticker and replaced it with a 29.99 sticker. Then charged me 29.99. I declined the sale. Stand by your own prices. Now when I go in and see something I want, Im not sure what they are going to charge me. My visits are now less frequent
Called ahead of Record Store Day to ask if a certain release was stocked and they wouldnt tell me. I spent all morning driving and waiting in line to leave empty handed. Maybe I wouldnt have wasted all that time if I was told if what I wanted would even be there. Never had this problem with the shop I went to before I moved upstate, they are completely transparent with what they stock and are very helpful, which this store was not.
I love this place,always find something I want and more. Im definitely going to be a regular shopper here every week. Just recently visited for my first time and went back 3 times in a week. Great deals,awesome prices and cool stuff!!
I love this place! With helpful staff and a huge selection, I can burn hours in this store alone. Not only do the offer CDs and vinyls, but also movies and games for a range of consoles. I can not express how much I adore this music shop.
I go to a lot of different record/music stores, and for me a large part of their appeal is the ambiance. The best have this sloppy ‘lived in’ look about them. Soundgarden has been around for awhile and although hardly squeaky clean the vibe is one of a chain store or something you’d find in a mall. It lacks character and personality. Ok, so that’s totally subjective, I admit. I think part of the problem is the layout of the store, which I find puzzling. CDs and videos are right in the front and dominate. Perhaps they’re their best sellers, but they’re hardly sexy. I have a vinyl bias, but that should hit you in the face as soon as you walk in the door. Move the records up front and throw the other stuff in the back is my advice. They have a super-small video game section. I’d like to see them go the Music Exchange route and expand/diversify this gaming section; with GameStop being phased out (and probably gone within a year) they’d do well selling this media. Prices on games have taken a sharp turn towards the expensive however which I find disappointing. Anyway, about what they do have: lots of CDs, new and used. TONS of used DVDs and an expanding Blu-Ray section with reasonable used prices. Some of the new video stuff is delightfully weird and esoteric but prices are high on those. Historically they’ve had a rather weak vinyl selection, but every time I go they have more and more used vinyl. Prices (on both used and new) are very reasonable. The selection is still fairly small though; their only in town rival - a bookstore called Books and Melodies - has a far greater variety and amount than Soundgarden. If you’re in town be sure to check this place out, I just wish they’d be a little less vanilla and let their strengths sing! Not sure what the cryptic robot head emoji comment is meant to convey, but ok...
My go to music and movie shop 😃! Their in-store selection is ginormous and things they didnt have theyve ordered for me (cheaper than Amazon too!). I love the ever-changing stock of used stuff, most of all for the discounted prices, 5 for $10, and 3 for $10 deals.Im much happier getting what Im looking for, along with great things found while browsing =], than waiting for Amazon orders to ship.
Great selection of used DVD and hard to find CDs. The store isnt fancy and reminds me of the stores from ages ago where the only place you could find the hidden gems was downstairs or tucked away in the back behind a curtain. The staff are a little grunge looking but try and see through that because everyone here is helpful and courtious. If youre looking for a place thats not cookie cutter this is it. Its reminiscent of the record stores from years ago where they only sold what they knew best. Music.
Super friendly! Extremely helpful! Huge selection! Vinyl, CD, dvd, games, tshirts and many more unique items both new and used! Great place to visit! Plan on at least and hour but really you could spend half the day looking at everything! They also let you listen before you buy! ❤
Locally owned shop that sells vinyl! What is not to love? A very helpful and knowledgeable staff!
Even tho its had a big change from years ago when I went as a kid till today I still love the garden. Great ppl! I guess Im an ol guy stuck on CDs and vinyl lol
Great place to find vinyl and so much more. They had an amazing sale on their records and I came out with so many to add to my collection. Staff are always very helpful.
The best selection of virtually everything recorded. About the only things they dont carry are Edison cylinders and 8-tracks. Used items are always in excellent condition and theyre on top of current releases. Nice staff, too!
A store like no other. An amazing business, thats been in the downtown Syracuse area for years. Films & music that you cant find anywhere else for a hard copy. Posters, t-shirts etc. & a go to for concert tickets.
Lots of great finds especially used CDs and DVDs. The prices are good also with used, most of the time cheaper than Amazon or Ebay. I have found lots of rare items here. Im from Auburn but always come here at least once a month. They pay not too bad prices for your used items but make sure they are clean, no scratches, and contain all inserts and covers because they will not buy OR sell defective merchandise.
With a name like sound garden, I thought this location wouldnt have much more beyond music, but this is far from the truth. The selection of various media and entertainment this local store offers blows the big box stores out of the water. New titles, old titles, many formats (i.e. dvd, bluray, 4k, etc), not to mention video games, apparel, accessories, vinyl, books, and great gifts. It felt small walking in at first, but the store really opens up.They also allow trade ins at very reasonable rates!It is true that trying to park downtown can be a little frustrating, but its so easy to walk to this store from many parking garages, meters or bus lines that you dont really notice.This store is absolutely worth checking out and is one of those hidden local gems.
Always love making the trip up from Binghamton to shop here. The staff is always great and they always have some cool stuff!Looking forward to our next visit!
The diamond in the giant cesspool that is Syracuse. Staff is always very helpful and nice, they have pretty much everything thing you can think of for music. Whether your a chet normalton who bumps bruno Mars or your personality was created by scrolling through /mu once you are sure to find what your looking for and if not they are more than happy to order it for you. Support small businesses yall!! PEACE
Honestly, the kid who waited on me actually didnt act like the typical pseudo alternative music store employee. You know, the people who act like its THEIR personal stuff theyre selling and could care less about giving you any type of sunny disposition whatsoever unless youre an actual friend or some musician who was HUGE in Prague about 15 years ago or tattoo artist with surgically implanted horn studs ....you get the idea. Anyway, buddy there was as far away from the typical d-bag traits that makes one a super d-bag in a privately owned music storeHe actually made me say to myself:Self, you should really about this experience on here, as buddy with the super-Z sized studs in his ears was beyond pleasant and really wanted to help you out. So I did, and hence this message. 👍🏻m/💀m/👍🏻
Music stores are becoming a thing of the past. Streaming is killing the availability of music formats we purists love- unless you go online. Soundgarden has a great selection of cds, vinyl & even cassettes. And its run by music lovers. They didnt stock some of the hard/stoner/doom rock bands I like but their selection is pretty diverse. They should dump the clothing and expand the music. I can buy t-shirts anywhere!!!
One of my absolute favorite places in Syracuse! If you want a DVD, a new Blu ray, an old record, cute apparel, or a unique gift THIS is the place to go!! The prices beat everyone elses and the staff are super knowledgeable and wicked friendly.
A must go to place if you collect vinyl!I would gladly drop a grand here ....if I only had one.
Fantastic little record store. The atmosphere is great and the collection is great. It goes from brand new albums available on vinly to 1 records from back in the day that might still play. Great place to spend a couple hours just browsing around.
Great selection of Music on both CDs and Vinyl great movies and TV show DVDs and a lot of cool knickknacks and shirts. Plus a very friendly and knowledgeable staff!
The best place to buy music, large selection of not only cds but vinyl as well. New and used cds and DVDs, they get before sny others plus they have tickets for local live shows. Summer time they have weekly movie night series. Wonderful staft, they know me there. I love that you can take your time selecting items.
Order came quickly and as described.
In a word, Sound Garden is eclectic. As far as their music collection is concerned, the place is stuffed wall to wall with obscurities and hits alike--ranging from relatively cheap to reasonably priced, often beating Amazon. A large portion of the store is dedicated to new and used vinyl--right past a hipster mannequin that unfailingly makes me feel foolish after greeting it--if thats your thing as well. The walls are pretty much lined with bookshelves (though only a few actually house books) laden with an impressive selection of used DVDs and Blu-ray disks, as well some games. The employees may seem super metal at first but, rest assured, are quite friendly. I actually only come there to buy socks now. Socks and stickers--theyre sick.
Great place to shop for all your music. Store is very friendly and helpful. They had most of the records and CDs I was looking for. One of the workers was all over the store helping several shoppers find what they were looking for among their really large selection.
Huge selection of used and new vinyl as well as DVDs, books, games and cds! Very nice staff. Im always pleased when I shop here.
A survivor! Records, CDs, DVDs and Blu Rays, band shirts, music related novelties, they have a lot to peruse in a small space! Awesome store. Got some great used t shirts and a yes CD, everything was in great condition.
Went to get 5 movies and a few cds. didnt have a single one i was looking for and was also kicked out 11 minutes before the store closed. All the people working were rude as hell. First time and last time inside the store. Wish I could leave 0 stars. Sure not everyone has this experience but I did.
Great place with a great staff and collection
For people who grew up in the 90s, you will love this place. Great selection of CDs, DVDs and some vinyl. It even smells like the 90s in here. Do your part and buy music!
Great service and great deals. They give you a fair amount for trade ins considering theyre a local business. They offer more than gamestop and FYE and places like that for sure, please remember that they have to profit off of these and some things just dont really sell at all so they wont take it because they have to many as it is or theyll give you next to nothing for it. I mainly go there to shop for cds and Ive found several Ive been looking for and Ive found some pretty rare ones for a steal! I highly recommend them for any of your multimedia needs
One of the coolest music related stores in Syracuse. They have movies, CDs, Vinyl, Apparel, Toys/Games, and much more! The atmosphere inside is really cool, and the staff are very chill and friendly. It is a must visit!
Very helpful staff. Good selection of albums.
If they dont have it, your not looking hard enough. Records, CDs, used and new movies and TV seasons, all at a reasonable price. Great place to take your old movies and get some in store credit.
Great place for your media needs. Reasonable prices for DVDs, Blu Ray, CDs, and vinyl. Also has plenty of other knick knacks, games, clothing, and other novelties. Staff is also top notch in customer service.
Awesome selection at amazing prices. One of the few places that still sell vinyl. If you love music and/or movies, you wont be disappointed.
Friendly staff, has a nice collection of Vinyl and CDs. Usually has what I’m looking for.
This is the best independently owned music store in Syracuse, with plenty of new and uses vinyl to choose from, cds, merchandise, and much more. If youre a music and/or movie lover or a gamer, check this place out.
They have everything video games movies on blue ray and dvd. They also have CDs and if your old school vinyl. Great prices too.
Have always loved the sound garden. Can find vinyls and any artist under the sun if they dont have it in stock they will order for you. Prices are great too!👍💯
Great selection of music and knowledgeable workers. Very funny and interesting gift type stuff too (I bought a Saint Neil Young holy candle). Bring a fat wallet and be ready to watch it shrink....
Love them. There needs to be a sound garden in the city. If ther is a movie you like or any type of music you listen to. They have it. And if they dont have it they can order it for you. 10 out of 10 times i visit sound garden in syracuse i leave happy. The staff is more than helpfull. 5 stars in my book.
Been going to sound garden for years, they have incredible selection, lately that has started to wane somewhat but they are still the place to go if you are looking for physical media including records cd dvds and blu- rays. Nice staff good prices and cool atmosphere.
Man, Ive missed this place. Frequented Sound Garden quite a bit during my college years.
Record & CD shops are getting harder to find all the time...do yourself a favor...go to the Soundgarden and find real music again! Ive been buying music here my whole adult life! I LOVE music and I love this store!!!
Love this place. Similar vibe to Record Archive in Rochester, if you know it. They have a great selection of used and new cds, vinyl, and dvds, as well as offbeat pins and posters.
Good customer service and very friendly workers. they have a great selection of music and movies. my favorite place downtown.
I just went here for the first time today I’ve always wanted to check it out they have some good stuff things you won’t find anywhere else I’d definitely go back again
I love this place especially if you are looking for an old CD and if not they can order it if it is still being sold. They also will look it up and the customer service skills are great as well every time I visited.
Simply a great music stop. A must stop for visitors. Dollar movies, cds, vinyl, local music and wicked helpfull staff. If they dont have it in stock, theyll find it and call you when its in.
Called in advance to sell DVD collection, had over 100+ they said it starts at a dollar a DVD and up based on value! They took 12 DVDs and didnt want the other ones, not that its a big deal just wish I would have known that so I didnt have to carry a huge box of DVDs in for pretty much nothing
I frequent the sound garden because of the competitive pricing on new cds and their vast collection of top of the notch quality used cds ranging from $5-$7. The customer service is great and they are sure to get all my cd buying business in the future.
The Sound Garden is an incredible places for Gamers and Music lovers. They have low prices on albums and games. They also have slightly used albums for only a few dollars! The Sound Garden is one of the best places in Central, NY to get music, I love it and I hope others will too.
Unique place. Sells everything from new and used CDs, DVD/Blu-ray, to new and used Vinyl. Also sell quite a few other random items. Perfect place to look for a gift for someone whos usually tough to buy for.
Best place to get movies, music and games. They also have other things available for you to purchase and they always try to save you money by finding out if they have what you are looking for used
The selection of vinyls is quite extensive
They have many movies there, always smells like incense and they play great music. They always have the new movies once they come on dvd. They have clasic movies that you cant find in any store.
Do not shop here, this small business does not support its local community. Its another Target or Walmart. Ask them if they comply with city mandates! .. Nope!! Ask them if they cater to the customer or its surrounding communities.... NOPE!! Support actual local business out here in Syracuse that are honest and take care of its people and community. Youve been warned, do not shop here.
Vinyl, vinyl, and more vinyl. CDs, and videos, and t-shirts, oh my! Cool hats. Concert tickets. Videos. And lots of other great stuff. Its the coolest store Ive been in for years.
The people are so friendly and helpful there. You feel like youve been friends with them forever. Not to mention all the music and movies they have its insane.
I like that I can buy tickets to concerts there, cheaper than online. They have a huge selection of music on vinyl and CD. Nestled in great eatery, clubs, boutiques!
Great selection of music and movies, bought multiple CDs my first trip and guarantee Ill buy even more next time
Wish the vinyl section had more.
Ive loved this place for finding music since the 90s. Now my husband and I bring our kid every Sunday. 😍 It is awesome.
The ONLY place in the Cuse for New & Used - Vinyl - CDS - DVDs...iconic T - shirts, amazing book selections...turntables...accessories...ear buds / headphones and the BEST just wanna hang-here vibe in Armory.
Best local record shop. They also sell movies, video games, cds and they buy said items for store credit or cash. They also sell clothes mostly t shirts and socks.
Definitely an eclectic store that is popular with locals. Used music and movies for purchase and some hard to find items if you like to have a physical hard copy of your media. Check it out if you dare.
I love socks especially fun and long socks 3 for $25 happy camper
Mrs Carbone and the entire staff here are beyond excellent. They are wonderful people who know their stuff and expert at sharing their love and knowledge of music with all ages.
This music store reminds of the kind that I used to go to when I first went to them a long time ago with the exception that the music selection is new and old available in - Vinyl, CD, DVD, Blue Ray, new & used.
Went there with 300 hundred CDs to sell and they only keep maybe 90.They told me the rest were out dated for there needs, but I was some in there bin and some theres scratched. Be careful
I ve been browsing there huge selection of movies for years. The staff is always friendly, knowledable and helpful. They also have a wide selection of insents.
As a music junkie, my favorite sinful indulgence when I periodically go and drop a bundle on grabbing some of their outstanding collection. Staff is very helpful and their prices are great.
They had a very good selection of new records and used movies. This is a great place to come and look for something to watch or listen to.
Awesome selection, could be limited at time, but if you looking for that special vinyl album from years past good place.
Wish we had a store like this in Baton Rouge!! Big, full, friendly and fun!
They didnt have what I wanted,it was out of print customer service was great usually have what I want great place sound garden
Quality spot with the best selection of new and used cds, movies, games, and vinyl in Syracuse. They usually carry a supply of tickets to local concerts/shows as well.
Really nice atmosphere with a little bit of everything that will meet anyones music needs.
Only record store in town that Im aware of, and they host Record Store Day every year! Staff are extremely helpful.
Great prices, lots of help but not to much,also they have everything your looking for. If you dont see what you want in-store they can usually order it for you. THIS IS MY FAVORITE PLACE TO BE!!!!!
The BEST media store in our area-UPDATE: ITS STILL THE GREATEST!
Sold some used CDs here. Staff was cool, and even tho I brought in a lot of stuff, they got right on it and helped me out. Paid cash for my CDs right on the spot.
Greatest indie music store in CNY. I know Nick, the store manager, personally and he couldnt be more helpful!
A must see in Syracuse. Vintage and the latest in Vinyl and all media. Bring your teenagers for a blast from the past. You can get your concert and event tickets here too.
Great place to shop for new and used music,records and DCs also tons of dvds
Classic record store with all that entails; new and used albums, t-shirts, novelty items, excentric staff. Pricing is fair. Selection makes it worth the visit to find classics.
Everyone is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Always great tunes playing when you walk in. I can trust anyones opinion for a new album and walk out satisfied. Syracuse staple.
If youre looking for music or movies they have it, pretty much all of it. This place has been a Syracuse institution for decades and with good reason.
Great place for getting hard to find music and cheap movies. One of the last classic record stores around.

2022-05-22I stopped in coming from out of town. This is a super awesome place, with one of the friendliest and kindest staffs that I have ever met. Just the type of business where I felt the people there actually cared about what theyre doing, and want to help people with what theyre looking for. Amazing collection of records, movies, and just cool stuff. Definitely on my list to return to whenever I come to Syracuse.

2021-09-12A fun local shop for music and accessories.The eclectic vibe is fun and lends itself well to being adventurous in music discovery. There are many more items than just the basics found in a national brand music store. An audiophile will love this place.

2022-08-16Ive bought a few different types of things from here in the past. Good place for vinyl, but if youre looking to sell yours for cash you wont get much. Even if its new and unopened, I ended up holding on to mine, I guess its better that it just sits around for God knows how long before I do anything with it. Maybe it will be worth more in 20 years, haha. Still a great place though. Thats just what I get for being a compulsive shopper, lol.

2020-07-12The store is about a 2 hour drive from where we live, but we were bored so we took a road trip. It was worth the trip. Fun store with a lot to select from. I love the bins where records and CDs are displayed. I dont have to bend over to look through them. They have great pricing on both new and used items. They have a great selection of metal/extreme metal music. There are a lot of fun novelty items as well. I highly recommend the store and will be going back soon.

2022-07-12This place is absolutely dangerous for me to stop at! I always spend more money than I mean to. They have everything! Movies, music, TV shows, a few books and videogames, shirts and bags and hats... even fun dish towels! Music you can get as CDs, cassettes, and vinyl, both new and used. Movies come on DVD or Blu-ray. So many options. I love this place!

2022-01-26Amazing record store with vintage feels right downtown. Every time I come back to visit the city I have to stop in to check out their latest treasures. They have an extensive collection of new and old music. You can also bring in media for them to possibly purchase. They have a great selection online as well! I recently purchased an indie store exclusive 7 Ghost vinyl that arrived well packaged and including a high quality Sound Garden sticker. Thank you!
