Touch sensitive controls and "hidden" color display are attractive, Integrated speaker, Excellent build quality, Good sound quality with unique earbuds
iderably bulkier than iPod nano, Speaker not that loud
For the most part, I like the Samsung YP-K5. The build quality is great, the sound quality is quite good, and the integrated speaker is a very interesting and unique feature. Obviously, the speaker isnt the loudest thing in the world, despite what Sa...
Excellent sound, Bass-enhanced earphones, Better-than-you'd-expect speakers, Simple controls, Makes a great alarm clock, Fast and sensitive FM tuner, 30+ hour battery life
Bulky, Few EQ presets; no custom EQ, Poor readability in sunlight, No accelerated scrolling, Can't turn off the fade-in, Lacks on-the-go playlists, No FM recording, No USB mass storage partition, Optional Samsung Media Studio software is misleading, bloated, and difficult to use...
If you love to share music with friends or simply prefer portable speakers over headphones, the YP-K5 is a great player with a few quirks you'll have to live with. Otherwise there's better equipped options on the market. ...
Abstract: The word "slider" used to be associated with mobile handsets only. Then sliders appeared among communicators. But these products had the same designated purpose, so the situation didnt change radically. Until Samsung has launched the first MP3 player,...
Abstract: The MP3-player landscape is littered with me-too merchandise, so a new product needs a little something extra if it’s to rise above the noise. Samsung’s YP-K5 succeeds with clever slide-out speakers and a 1.7-inch OLED screen; unfortunately, its $210 a...
Great sound. Reliable, easy-to-use alarm clock. Interesting, unique design replaces the need for tiny, external speakers.
Lousy transfer software. Uncomfortable headphones. Screen is a bit washed-out. A bit bulky for a portable device.
The Samsung YP-K5 certainly tries to stand out from the crowd with its unique, slide-out speakers. We suppose this player is targeting a niche crowd, looking for a portable party (and something to wake them up the next morning), and for that crowd we...
Excellent earphones, Ability to view photos, Resistant to scratching, Magnesium alloy body, Long battery life, Mediocre speakers, but very compact, Songs are automatically sorted, Radio tuner
Very faint bass on the speakers, Requires visual contact in order to operate the touch screen
The Samsung K5 really delivers in a small package; it is very attractive, comes with excellent earphones, and the speakers are not bad because its size versus quality ratio is above average. The K5 can truly be given the title as "The iPod Killer" as t...
Abstract: We recently got our hands on the Samsung YP-K5 digital audio player, one of the few MP3 players that has a built-in speaker. The K5 also has an FM tuner, a 1.7-inch color OLED screen, touch-sensitive controls, and 2GB or 4GB of embedded flash memory. ...
Slide out speakers, Great overall sound quality, Sleek look, Buttonless interface
Glossy face smudges easily, Bulky, Small screen for viewing digital photos, Pricey
The Samsung YP-K5 is a solid MP3 player which lets one enjoy digital music, listen to FM radio and view digital photos. Its innovative, stylish design of built-in, slide-out speakers make it a conversation starter while filling a small room with great ...
Great looks and usability, effective slide-out speaker design, very good battery life
You pay quite a bit extra for the speaker, some interface issues, hardly any features for audio management or sound control
The K5 is a very nice mp3 player, but despite the looks and usability we wonder how many would get enough use out of the built-in speaker to justify the extra cost. ...
