Samsung YP-K5 4GB MP3 Player Review

Ever felt like sharing that one song’s amazing guitar riff with a friend, only to surrender your earbuds or dangle them between yourselves as you both try to listen in on what has now become a miniscule peep? Short of carrying yet another AA-driven pocket weight at all times, there was never really a better alternative, until Samsung smartened up and did something about it. The end result is the YP-K5, the latest in their Yepp line of MP3 players to have crossed our eardrums and clamor for a review.

..Samsung certainly did a fine job when it came to engineering the YP-K5, the hardware is top notch! The sound quality is excellent, the alarm clock is actually useful, the innovative earbuds have bass that rocks, and the built-in speakers sound better than I expected. At $250 for a 4GB unit, the YP-K5 seems to be a good deal if you actually intend on using the speakers fairly often, otherwise there’s slimmer, more mature players out there that offer an increased storage capacity for the same price. Just don’t install the bundled software.
