Samsung YP-K5 MP3 Player Review

The K5 (the full name is the YP-K5) has a few things going for it, but the foremost is an integrated set of speakers. That’s right, built-in speakers in a Nano-sized player. None of your friend’s are going to care about the 1.8" OLED display, FM tuner, or the 4GB capacity when you take out the K5, put in on your desk, and flip those speakers open.

..Love them or hate them, Samsung is definitely on the right track. The K5 proved itself to be a flash-based portable music player that is completely unique and very stylish, but still easy and fun to use. It is not the lightest or cheapest available, but it’s good looks and built-in speakers make it a very attractive product. I found myself missing Itunes, but it’s interaction with the computer is fine and it’s earphones are way better than Apple’s. For those people who don’t want the extra bulk, Samsung has the K3, which is the same unit, but without the speakers, so it is a product is will be quite competitive with the new iPod Nano.
