The Ruark R1S is a DAB, DAB and FM radio and Wi-Fi-connected music system, bringing your favourite stations and streaming services into one beautifully designed unit that fits on a shelf or bedside table. With built-in Wi-Fi, you get direct access to Spotify Connect, Amazon Music and Deezer, while Bluetooth 5 opens every other streaming option from your mobile. The LCD display keeps things clear, and the RotoDial controller gives tactile control over your music. Whether waking to Radio 6 Music or winding down with a podcast, the 8 preset stations keep your go-to content a button press away.
The 9 watts RMS output delivers clear, room-filling sound with bass and treble controls so you can dial in the tone you prefer. Bluetooth remembers up to 6 devices, so switching between your phone and your partner's is seamless, and the AUX input handles anything with a headphone jack. There's a USB port for external connections, a headphone socket for private listening, and alarm and sleep timer functions if you want it on bedside duty. It's compact enough to sit neatly on a worktop or table, runs on mains power, and comes with a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee.
R1S takes this timeless medium to a new level, but with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth also built in, R1S is more than just a radio, but more so a complete music system that's small enough to fit easily into your home, but capable enough to provide day long entertainment.

Big investment, but worth it!
Whilst this is not a cheap item, the quality of the piece, both in build and sound, are exceptional. You will be amazed by the clarity and definition of music from a modest size radio+.

Brilliant sound!
I bought this after the support to my Bose radio and speaker was turned off. I wanted something that sounded as good and this certainly does. The presets proved to be a hassle but quickly sorted out after watching the YouTube video.

Beautifully Designed and Excellent to Use
I am extremely happy with my Ruark Audio R1S Smart Radio. The design, build quality, sound performance, and overall user experience are outstanding. It is a beautifully crafted product that I truly enjoy using every day. I would like to suggest one small software improvement. When the Preset button is pressed, the preset list always opens with Preset 1 highlighted, regardless of which station is currently playing. I believe it would be much more intuitive if the currently active preset were automatically highlighted instead. For example, if I am listening to Preset 2, pressing the Preset button should open the list with Preset 2 already selected. This would make browsing and switching between saved stations faster and more user-friendly. This is only a minor usability suggestion, as I am otherwise extremely satisfied with the R1S. It is an excellent product that I would happily recommend to anyone.

Looks smart
I’m very happy with my Ruark R1S smart radio. It looks good and sounds good. It sits perfectly in my kitchen. It was easy to set up and really easy to use. I’d definitely recommend it.

The best radio out there at this time.
I’ve had several radios in the past and needed something better then what I have got already, so I decided on good reviews to purchase the R1S SMART RADIO. Well I’m amazed at the build quality it’s well designed in every detail and the sound I can say is amazing and it’s easy to set up as well . It’s not the cheapest but the price reflects on the very high quality . My only criticism is that you don’t get the remote control you have to buy this separately. But all in all a very well made radio and the sound is amazing.

Fantastic product
Recently purchased. This is a quality product that has many features and works perfectly. The sound quality is great for a small product. It feels premium as did the packaging it arrived in. It was delivered very quickly. Hadn't really heard of Ruark until I was looking for a new radio alarm but would definitely buy from them again.

Brilliant little radio!
Beautiful design and great sound. Bought for my kitchen as a little brother to my R3S!

Superb
Had my R1S for a month now and very pleased with it. The features are great and easy to use and the sound is superb for the size. Would definitely recommend.
Gav Nav, 35 - 44, Fife
Great sound and features
Bought this to replace another brand that has withdrawn support for radio presets. Being smaller I did not expect the sound quality that I get from the Ruark R1S and it has every facility that I need.
