Samsung YP-K5 MP3 Player Review

Rightly or wrongly, given the choice, most consumers will go for an iPod if it’s not going to cost them any more than a similar device from another manufacturer.

Samsung is well aware of this situation and has decided to compete with the dominance of Apple by innovating. The YP-K5 is the result of many design concepts and focus groups, with the goal being a truly innovative digital music player that could not only compete with the iPod but better it.

…Samsung has created a very innovative product with the YP-K5. I can’t deny that the design is clever and the integrated speaker produces sound of a higher quality than I expected. With the K5 Samsung has produced a player that has a feature that no other device on the market has. But ultimately you have to ask yourself whether you’re willing to accept a larger, heavier and more expensive MP3 player, just so you can listen to it through a speaker once in a while.
