So far, so good.
Peter from Oklahoma City, OK on 5/12/2023
So far, so good. Have the ES15's hooked up to a Yamaha A-S501 - phono, tv via optical, cd player. A definite upgrade from my vintage setup. I haven't turned the system up too loud, yet. Letting everything break in a little before really putting through the paces. Highs and mids are great. Low end is good for the speaker size, but leaves you wanting a little more. Already thinking about adding a sub- in the future.
Pros: Highs and mids are great.
Cons: Low end is good for the speaker size, but leaves you wanting a little more.

Great Speaker for the Money
Paul from Duck Hill, MS on 5/9/2023
Surprisingly large sound for smallish speakers. I replaced my older Polk T15 speakers that I've had for about 5 years. I'm listening to more music in my living area while reading and these offer a much fuller less aggressive sound. I have some Polk tower speakers in my listening room, but they are mainly for me attentively listening to music. These are great just to provide some music while I read or do some house work. (yeah, I'm retired if you couldn't tell) I can highly recommend these speakers for just about any situation, even critical listening, although the bass is not going to be as deep as with a larger speaker. Try them, you just might find them to be what you need and at an attractive price too!

Decent Bookshelf Speakers
Tim from Kittery, ME on 12/10/2022
Decent bookshelf speakers at higher volumes, but they fall a bit flat at low volumes. Generally a nice clean sound that doesn't overemphasize any range.
Pros: Nice sound at mid volumes. Good looking with rounded edges.
Cons: Not much presence at low volumes

Exactly what i was looking for
Tonya from Newport News , VA on 10/26/2022
I have these setup as fronts in my 5.1 surround system with ES10s as rears, a Polk 10" sub and a Polk CSI A6 for a center channel. I have space constraints that's why I chose the ES15s and they worked out perfect. Both music and movies sound very clear. I was surprised at the bass that these produce. We listen to anything from classic, heavy metal, rap to old school country and all sound great with these speakers. I have always liked Polk for their value and quality. Great purchase.
Pros: Clarity, value
Cons: None so far

great small speakers
Richard from Saint Matthews, SC on 9/6/2022
Using these speakers for rear surround with some stands. Wow these speakers sound great. Also use them for airplay (apple music) on a Denon receiver. I have other Polk signature series speakers in this setup. Almost unbelievable how great these small speakers sound. I started with polk es10 in the rear setup and switched to these. The sound is noticeable better with the Polk es15 compared to polk es10.
Pros: Sound great great bang for buck
Cons: Big for rear surround speakers

Scott from Manchester, IA on 7/19/2022
Bought these as front speakers for a 5.1 surround system in my basement. I have yet to hook up a subwoofer and even yet I am VERY surprized and thrilled with quality of these ES15 speakers. At first I was a little underwhelmed. But after playing with the positioning of the speakers I am thrilled with the purchase!!!! Was surprised that such small movements in positioning could make such a HUGE difference!! LOVE THE POLK ES15!!!!
Pros: Great styling. Quality of sound.
Cons: None

Excellent
Cary from Dahlgren, VA on 7/18/2022
These are outstanding speakers for the money. The first thing that impressed me is the thick cabinet. It's very solid. Most speakers around this price have thin cabinets that can possibly vibrate. This cabinet is so thick I doubt it would ever vibrate. It also has internal bracing. The lows and high frequencies are excellent. The bass can go down to 44HZ which is very low. I went ahead and purchased the Polk Reserve R100 speaker after these because the midrange of the Polk Reserve is better.
Pros: Excellent purchase for the price
Cons: The midrange is not as good as the Polk Reserve series.

Does not live up to the brand or reviews
Serguei from SOUTHLAKE, TX on 6/5/2022
I am replacing the old JVC bookshelf system that has a great sound but is too small for the room it is now in. I still want an entry level bookshelf system as it is going to be used by children mostly. Upon reading reviews and considering the price point, I picked Polk Audio Signature Elite ES15 speakers (with Sony receiver). I regretted my choice immediately upon turning the speakers on. The sound is not clear. It seems that speakers produce the noise instead of a sound across all tones. To make sure, I went to another old system that I have (Pioneer receiver with Athena speakers) and ran the same track. It came out clear and nice on Athena. It may be that my mistake was expecting too much from $299 speakers. But none the less, I cannot recommend these speakers.
Pros: Affordabilty.
Cons: Poor sound clarity and quality of midtones in particular.

Bradford from Astoria, NY on 5/4/2022
Excellent speakers for front/left channels in a surround sound configuration, which is how I'm using them. They also sound great in stereo mode for listening to vinyl. Really produce oversized sound for their size - and they look great.

Great at the price point
Gary from Woodinville, WA on 3/30/2022
The Polk ES15 is a nice little speaker. If I compare them to the 20-year-old B&W 801's in our music room, they fall very, very short but that is totally unfair comparison. We use them for watching TV & movies (matched with a Polk ES30 center) and every once in a while, for listening to Sirius XM, Pandora or FM radio. For $250, they are more than expected. A nice midrange presentation, solid but no real depth low end (need a sub) and they lack a bit of shimmer in the top end, but again, for $250 you can't go wrong.
Pros: No listener fatigue. Great in smaller rooms and they hit well above their price.
Cons: If you are looking for audiophile sound, look elsewhere.

The downside...
Arthur from Phoenixville, PA on 3/26/2022
I have purchased some great stuff from Crutchfield. The treble on these speakers is simply migraine inducing. Shrill and fatiguing no matter where I placed them. Returning heavy items is burdensome and I almost never do it but with these I had to. Straight up guys and girls - do some homework first there are better options at the same and even lower price points. Look for speakers that are described as 'neutral'. You will be much happier.
Pros: Nice looking, decent bass response.
Cons: treble and midrange, if important to you, is unlistenable.

Polk ES15 small but big
William Kent from Chester, NH on 3/26/2022
These ES15 speakers are small in size and cost. But big in sound. like all Polk speakers. I have used them as primaries and they were great. They are now integrated with a larger system as Surround Sound in back of a 5.1 System and they blend in just right.
Pros: Big sound small cost. The Keyhole in back make it easy to hang/mount.
Cons:

Polk Audio ES15 Speakers
Crutchfield customer from Baton Rouge, LA on 2/25/2022
I bought these ES15 speakers after 20 years with a pair of Kef F15s. The mid-range and high frequencies are remarkably clearer and brighter. I really like the size...not too bulky.
Pros: Size, clarity.
Cons: Needs a sub for full sound.

Excellent for fun, loud music (like at your home gym), not a hi-fi speaker. The mix of treble/mids/bass is somewhat forced to pump bass from such a small cabinet. Would recommend for "fun and loud" listening.

They sound very good, and for the price they sound amazing
Crutchfield customer from Palm Bay, FL on 12/15/2021
They sound very good, and for the price they sound amazing. You do want some power to drive these, fairly efficient but its not Klipsch for efficiency. It is better than Klipsch for warm full yet still detailed sound, in this price point though, in my very limited opinion anyway. I'm not a fan of overly high fidelity tinny highs with hollow mids and weak lows. Even if it means overall a touch less clarity, I prefer the warmth and fullness. Same reason I keep ging back to Yamaha as well, can't beat the natural sound profile their solid state amps produce, (again, for the price point). 2 cents from a wanna be audiophile that never had much serious money for the hobby. I'm driving these with a Yamaha A-S301, usually just optical from a tv but also some UHD/HD Amazon music into the 301's coax spdif from a BluDento True hifi aptX blt-hd.
Pros: full rich warm sound, very clear and clean, very crisp highs for the price. Very immersive sound. Very high build quality and look great.
Cons: Need some power for these or you will regret it.
