As a hardware reviewer, I unbox new tech pretty regularly. I don't mean that to sound like a humble brag; I say it because I've learned that you can distinguish a brand that really wants to go the extra mile for customers and provide a luxury feel from the brands that are just boxing up a product for sale. I seldom find the former these days, especially not in the fairly unglamorous world of the best computer speakers.
But while I was unboxing the Ruark MR1 MK3 speakers, I was immediately reminded of why this brand stands out. Small velvety pouches encased both of the speakers, premium packaging, and small notes from the brand lay in the box. That luxury feel was there in spades before I had even plugged the speakers into my PC, and in many ways, that first experience encapsulates what Ruark is going for with its latest desktop speakers.
