Months of staying at home due to the pandemic were made bearable thanks to the selection of entertainment options we have. Some of us here binge-watched TV shows and movies, others played video games, while the rest indulged in tunes. The selection available on Netflix and other platforms is great. Meanwhile, Sony and Microsoft officially launched the PS5 and Xbox Series X respectively which is great for gamers. Audio aficionados, on the other hand, should check out the R3 from Ruark Audio.
Depending on you your preference, headphones or earphones might be the way to go. Others who want to blast their music for everyone else to hear should consider a music system instead. Ruark Audio caters to that need with its compact retrofuturistic R3. Moreover, the overall presentation makes finding a place for it anywhere around your home effortless.
