Home Audio & Speakers : Samsung K5 (2 GB)

The bottom line: 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. Hide Full Review

After seeing numerous reviews for the Samsung K5, I had to buy one. I got mine for $180 with 2GB of 500 songs and more than 1000 pictures that it can hold. The speakers in the device, which can be accessed by sliding down one part of the player is amazing. I love the fact that it has a built in FM Radio and Alarm Clock! The sound quality is unbelievable and even though the earphones are quite odd looking, the sound quality of the headphones is perfect. I so far have 52 songs and around 34 pictures, but I'll be getting more of both. I definitely recommend this product to anyone interested in putting back the old CD players and enjoys listening to their music and perhaps even sharing it with their friends by using the built in speakers. Also, I must state that the device is very strong. Videos posted such on YouTube, showing the device getting run over by a truck, while slid down, twice and it was perfect still. And no matter how many times you slide it down for the speakers, it will never break or wear out. I really think this is the best MP3 player out there, even better than an iPod. Why do you think I got the K5 instead of an iPod? You can't share music on an iPod without having to share the headphones can you? My point proven. All in all, the Samsung K5 is a great Mp3 player and has great features and qualities and is definitely recommended for those looking for a player. Hide Full Review

Im a 14-year old thats obsesed with music.I have a 2-gig mp3 player and its just enought for me.I bought this player about 2-3 month ago. the player is really good quality, and the slide out speakers are just fantastic, the sound is really good quality, loud, and the buttons give the player a really stylish look. It has a build-in battery that u can charge by usb so thats a big plus for me.



the sofware is easy-to-use, when u install the software u get a programme called "samsung media player". i love it. te iea of managing the mp3 from a player installed on the computer is fantastic.



now about the bad stuff. the player is a bit big and its uncomftable to have it in your pocket while exercising. I solved this problem by putting it in a case that has a belt clip (i use the ame case as for my Motorolla Razor V3) , or i hung it around my neck so its not that big of a problem for me. The player is a bit fragile, one I dropped it, and the thing just died but then I noticed that in the back of the slide-out speaker thets a resset hole in which u poke a small, sharp object (a tothpic or something like that) and the layer is all good and working again :).



The bottom line is, that te player is a REALY GOOD media player and I reccmed it for everyone. Hide Full Review
