Samsung YP-K5 MP3 Player

 

Samsung has created an innovative new MP3 player, but does the market really want such a device?

Samsung T9 Portable SSD review

 

The follow-up to the T7 finally arrives

USB Gen 2x2 performance ; Highly resilient exterior ; Up to 4TB capacity ; Both cable types

Expensive when compared to the T7 ; Large when compared to competitor designs ; No IP ratings

Joining the party to embrace Gen 2x2 technology long after most PC makers dismissed it, Samsung has produced an effective external SSD that can handle being dropped by its owner. The main problems here are an overinflated price and a lack of software...

Samsung YP-K5

 

I t is fair enough to describe the Samsung K5 as a real innovation as it's definitely different to other MP3 players. It may not be the cheapest or the smallest, but it is certainly the most unusual. The speaker was a real find. You can listen to a...

Samsung YP-K5JAB Portable MP3 Player with Built In Speakers

 

Buying an MP3 player these days is a task in itself with more choice of storage capacity, file playback, design and manufacturer than ever before. The iPod remains king amongst this deluge of new players in the higher reaches, for the time being anyway...

First Looks: Samsung YP-K5 MP3 Player

 

The Samsung YP-K5 digital audio player is more then just a personal entertainment device. Slim and sexy, its high-powered slide out speakers pretty much transforms it into a mini boom box.

Samsung YP-K5

 

The Samsung K5 is a phone-size MP3 player that includes an integrated stereo speaker.

The built-in speaker is louder than you'd expect. Very good sound quality.

Bulky for an MP3 player. Earbuds are oddly shaped. No PlaysForSure support

unfortunately, you can't create playlists directly on the k5—you need to transfer them via windows media player's automatic transfer function. there's a handy alarm clock feature that has flexible options for setting which days (and times) you want it...

Samsung YP-K5 review: Samsung YP-K5

 

The Samsung YP-K5 is unique and fun to use and sounds great--what's not to love? Well, maybe the price.

The Samsung YP-K5 features a unique and stylish design with a built-in, slide-out speaker, and the interface is stunning; includes an FM radio and cool visual effects. The player offers excellent sound quality, and the included earbuds are decent.

Due to the speaker, the YP-K5 is on the large and heavy side for a flash player; the touch controls take some getting used to and attract smudges; display could be bigger; expensive.

The Samsung YP-K5 is a unique MP3 player with a fun interface and great sound quality; it may be bulky around the middle, but it's an excellent choice if you want to share your tunes at the drop of a dime.
