Where to find electronic stores in Singapore
1. Sony
There’s no doubt that if you want innovative, high quality, and reliable products, you turn to Sony. The brand is constantly coming up with new and even better variations of things like speakers, headphones, and cameras. Its Holland Village location even offers curated workshops and lets you borrow products to test them before you commit to your purchase.

3. Funan
If you can’t decide between Courts or Best Denki, don’t worry, ’cause you can check out both! While Funan has transformed itself into an all-encompassing lifestyle hub, it hasn’t forgotten its tech roots. With over 20 stores supplying electronics, there’s something for everyone – whether you’re looking for home appliances or a new phone. We especially love the futuristic vibe of the Razer store in the mall.

4. The Adelphi
Known as an audiophile’s haven, The Adelphi houses several electronic stores that provide the best equipment in Singapore. First, make your way to Jaben (#01-09) to get your hands on high-quality earphones or speakers from well-known brands like Klipsch and Bose. Looking for a full home theatre system for the surround sound experience? Anson Audio (#01-02) will fix you up. Lastly, take a trip down memory lane at… well, Memory Lane (B1-17). This vintage collector’s wonderland houses an impressive trove of second-hand vinyl. Grab yourself some old school genres like 70s pop and 60s jazz.

5. Sim Lim Square
On the hunt for the latest laptops and devices like hard disks, motherboards and graphics cards? You’ve come to the right place. The electronics stores here generally open daily from 12pm to 7pm, and most are willing to bargain. Insider tip: head up to the upper floors for more reliable retailers and look out for shops with the CaseTrust logo to avoid potential scams. If you have faulty devices, get them fixed at one of the repair stores. Psst: it’ll take you half the time (and price)!
