You will forget the price
Am getting on a bit and need subtitles_ a friend recomended the Ruark R1S - At first, it seemed costly but you will forget the price as soon as you listen - the sound quality is superb - The build quality and features are also excellent but expected at this price range. Within a week bought a second for the kitchen

Highly recommend
I bought this about a month ago and am very happy with it. Great sound and easy to set up all your favourite stations and Bluetooth to my phone too. Worth the money.

Happy Days!
I wanted a new clock/radio. I tried 5 but they were abominable. I like to listen to BBC local radio which is not available on DAB and Internet radio was out because my bedroom is upstairs and my router is downstairs. So I needed a good FM receiver. I thought that a proper radio would do the trick so I got the R1S. Set up was very easy, real buttons leading to logical menus, how very quaint. In my bedroom the FM reception was very good, but, what's this, I can get Internet radio without a Wifi extender, must be another great Ruark component. So every morning I am awakened by a crisp display and glorious music making the start of every day feel really happy.

The best small radio I've ever heard
I replaced a Pure Evoke DAB radio with the R1S and the difference between the two is night and day. The sound that comes out of this small speaker is incredible and it's making every radio station sound so much better. DAB sounds fantastic and the ability to add online radio station presets is also very welcome.

Great radio and so much more
I have a pair of second generation Rurark MR1 computer speakers and have been very impressed with their performance. When I needed a new radio I saw that Rurark makes one and so I bought the R1S. It's been great. I use it exclusively as an internet radio and it works perfectly for that application. It is easy to connect to the wifi and find the radio station I want. Then you just turn it on and it connects to the station you dialled in. Again, I use it as a radio so I listen almost exclusively to one or two stations. The sound is great and it has some real power to project the sound throughout my kitchen. I also like the Bluetooth function, which comes in handy when the radio programming is a bit of a dud. It is not cheap, but I think you really get product that covers a lot off bases, sounds great, and looks like a piece of art. In my book, Rurark is two-for-two on making excellent products. I'd love to listen to their speakers and other audio components.

The Smartest Radio
I purchased this Radio a couple of months ago and it just continues to impress. It’s everything I need in a modern Radio. My one and only complaint is the display at night is too bright for me. Of course there is a dimmer but even the lowest level is still too bright. That’s just me.

Does what it says on the tin!
I bought the Ruark R1S Radio just over a month ago now and am thoroughly impressed with the purchase. A radio playing in the background has always been more important to myself, than either the TV and other Screen(s). I have noticed in recent years that the coverage that DAB Radios offered was lessening, and given also that my Home has very thick walls, the availability of Stations and Range with the R1S is greater than I had seen before, and the clarity simply being ‘top drawer’
