RuarkR2 after one month
A few weeks on and I can say this is a proper bit of kit with every available radio input and a deep and solid sound. Expensive but I dont regret it. it has been excellent. . If you have a Smart Phone you can use it as a remote via an app called OKTIV, so no need to buy the dedicated one.

Ruark R2 Mk4 Smart Music System Review
Received Ruark radio a couple of weeks ago from official Ruark reseller. Radio came without any surprise, well packed all necessary items included. Easy to setup and already entertaining us daily with its excellent performance. Brought a new sound dimension to our kitchen :-)

Easy to set up .. great sound ..looks good
I had been looking for a radio to live in my bedroom for a while . So pleased I chose this one ! I read reviews so I was reasonably confident that it would suit and so far it has surpassed expectations! It was a breeze to set up .. intuitive to operate and the Oktiv app works a treat . The sound quality is superb both speech and music. I did buy the remote also as I didn’t want to have to look on my phone in the night which is when I often listen to the radio. I chose the blue colour way as it suits the room. I’m lucky to live on the coast and the colour adds to that vibe!

Just what I needed
Very nice,I’ve been looking for sometime & came across the R2 Mk4 so happy I did, not the cheapest but the sound quality is great! Thank you

Such a rich sounding, beautiful made music system.
Having a Vita audio R4s (before it became Ruark) and knowing the sound en build quality it was already determined that my office ‘radio’ would also be a Ruark. I was thinking of the 1Rs but the stereo sound wish brought me to the R2 Mk4. A great looking and sounding music system that, although not the cheapest, never disappoints when turned on. Excellent reception of fm, DAB. The internet streaming was a big pro and is excellent. The bright screen is clear but not to present as it blends in the overall design perfectly. The wooden finish in combination with the espresso color finish makes this product an absolute winner. If it is on your shortlist don’t hesitate and just buy it. Can’t imagine you would regret it.

Sound quality decidedly met my expectations
Since its purchase, I have mostly used R2 as a radio, accessing classical music stations operating on DAB+. The experience has been quite conclusive in terms of the depth and breadth of sound restitution. My only disappointment concerns the listening experience when accessing the Qobuz streaming platform via Bluetooth which does not meet the same quality standards.

Fantastic!
Had this for a couple of weeks now and couldn’t be happier. Sound is fabulous and setting it up was easy. Love the variety of options with what you can play through it. Very happy customer indeed 👍👍

Great Features
I purchased this on 26 May 2026. I was using a BOSE Sound Touch for over 10 years which gave me access to internet radio from all over the world and some streaming services. However, BOSE decommissioned that service in May 2026. Research revealed this product to be equivalent and/or better. This is a better product for a myriad of reasons : Internet radio from all regions of the world, DAB +, AM/FM, 2 settlings for alarm with radio alarm, sleep function, good sound, compact, stylish, WIFI and can be operated through a device such as a smart phone.
