2GB MP3 Player

A 2GB MP3 Player - Samsung YP-K5


This unique MP3 Player, available in 2GB and 4GB capacities, may be a bit pricey and thick around the middle, but that's not stopping it from turning some heads.

The K5 features touch-sensitive controls, backlit in pleasing shades of blue. The bottom edge of the player houses the headphone jack and a proprietary USB port.

If you flip the player on its side and push up the bottom edge, a built-in speaker slides out. We've seen MP3 players with built-in speakers before, but none have shown this kind of ingenuity.

Product summary

The good: 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.

The bad: 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 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.
