Polk Audio, who has always been a maker of quality audio products ever since I can remember, has a real winner on their hands. Over the past few weeks, I have been able to test the Polk Audio I-Sonic ES2 and have found it to be a gadget truly worthy of praise. It is a multi-functional device that handles not only music playing via your iPod or iPhone, but also functions as a AM/FM receiver, clock radio and HD Radio receiver.

The ES2 (which stands for Entertainment System 2) is Polk Audio’s second generation release in this product line. The original ES had CD-playback. The ES2 replaced this with the ability to doc, charge and play an iPod or iPhone, among other things. However the feature that really got my attention was that of HD Radio, something that I hadn’t personally pursued or even researched.

  • Design
  • Sound Quality
  • HD Radio
  • iTunes Tagging
