The Ruark R2 Mk4 impresses with superb sound quality, elegant design, and intuitive controls. Users appreciate its versatility in streaming and radio options but note limited presets and lack of included remote as drawbacks.

As new straight out of the box
Having reviewed several internet radios, Ruark was always at the top of the list. Definitely worth spending the extra money on the R2 Mk4. Well worth it for the sound quality which is superb! A lot of power for such a small unit.

Amazing Music System
The Ruark R2 Mk4 is the perfect compact size, great design and appearance while also very user friendly. Best of all it delivers incredibly clear and rich sound. I would certainly recommend it.

R2 mk4
I bought the R2 mk4 a couple of weeks ago and i really couldn't be more pleased with it. The setup was really very easy and the sound is just wonderful. Also, easy to navigate, which it needs to be for me. Makes me smile anyway.

Superb radio
Great sound, easy to navigate. The only fault is the low amount of presets.

Very Pleased
The radio not only sounds good but looks amazing as well. It is a bit of a faff if like me you change stations a lot but it does learn the most visited then groups them to simplify. Both the bass and treble are controlled so it is a joy to listen to the classical stuff I like. Was surprised how good it is on voice too, crisp and real on the likes of radio 4 ...some units I listened to sounded 'modified', not this. I do wonder if I should have purchased the remote control will see how I get on.

Fabulous sound in a compact clean design
Bought this because we stayed in a hotel with one in the room and I loved it, haven’t been disappointed, it’s great

Great Sound from such a small unit
We've had this for a couple of weeks and are delighted with ease of set-up and product features. The sound quality is excellent. It replaced a quality compact hifi system which was no longer capable of receiving some DAB radio stations( it didn't have DAB+) with Mission M30i speakers in our bedroom. The sound quality from the Ruark R2 is as good as considering they are built into the unit and the stereo separation is excellent too. My wife is pleased as the Mission speakers have disappeared giving her more space! I've not had Internet Radio before, only DAB, but I've realised I don't need to plug in the external aerial to get high quality radio sound other than as a backup if our WiFi goes down. We can't use the Ruark rear telescopic antenna due to the acute roof design. I have a Spotify account and thoroughly enjoy listening to music and I've also discovered the delights of podcasts and am well into listening to Stephen Fry reading The Odyssey with his crisp voice rendering an exceptionally clear output. Overall an excellent product.

Quality unit
Quality all around. Great sound with options. Loving it.

Classy and technically sound
We've been using the R2 for a month or so now. It is a very very good kitchen radio with sound and versatility to match the price. It is replacing the peerless Bose Wave Soundtouch, which it doesn't quite match for sound quality but exceeds in connectivity, services and style. Does take a little bit of time to work out all the menus and the most efficient modus operandi. Would have liked more presets on the remote and a larger screen.
