Polk iSonic ES2 is not your traditional clock radio. It's an HD-Radio that receives AM/FM signals in digital High-Definition. That means the sound from AM and FM is superior to that of any other radio. In addition, those stations that broadcast in HD deliver many other programming features not found on standard AM/FM. And there's no subscription fee required. All you need is an HD Radio and the iSonic ES2 is it and more.
Polk's I-Sonic ES2 includes a second generation HD Radio tuner with full multicasting. With its advanced acoustical system, Digital Signal Processing, and new HD Radio tuner technology, the I-Sonic ES2 is the highest performing self-contained HD Radio product on the market. The I-Sonic ES2 accepts all iPod models with dock connectors in its top-mounted iPod dock hidden beneath a sliding door. S-Video and composite video outputs allow the user to connect a television or video monitor to the IES2 for viewing video content stored on a video iPod. The I-Sonic ES2 introduces a new music discovery feature from Apple called iTunes Tagging which makes it simple to buy songs you hear on HD Radio stations. The iTunes Tag button on the I-Sonic ES2's front panel and remote control allows you to "tag" songs broadcast by HD Radio stations. The I-Sonic ES2 stores information about the tagged songs to its memory and transfers the tags to an iPod* when docked. When you sync your iPod with your computer, iTunes automatically presents the songs in a new Tagged play-list for you to preview, buy, and download. iTunes Tagging is a great way to discover new music and add it to one's collection.
Whether you enjoy listening to radio at all hours or merely want to awaken or doze off to it, the Polk Audio iSonic ES2 elevates your experience.

- Great system
- I enjoy this system tremendously. Sounds great for such a small package. The firmware was outdated when I received it, and I quickly found out that Polk Audio no longer provides the firmware on their website for download. It seems too many people were having issues flashing the ROM. Basically because 1) they didn't read the directions and… More reviews
- Polk I-Sonic ES2
- First off, I would state that I am not an expert audiophile. Impressive sound for its size, however it does not sound better than a real home stereo system. I guess I was expecting a tiny bit more, due to some of the hype and other reviews. It plays fairly loud without distortion. I would say that the sound is clear, but lacking some… More reviews

- Polk Is the Tops!
- Polk Audio I-Sonic Entertainment System 2I cannot recommend the Polk I-Sonic 2 too highly! The HD sound really is as good as they say; the AM does sound like FM, and the FM, like CD. Since the I-Sonic 2 is the only tabletop HD radio that is iPod ready, the purchase was a no-brainer. My iPod sounds much better on the I-Sonic 2 than on either… More reviews
