  • 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. ...

  • Abstract:  Samsung has recently been cranking out some decent players into the market, one of them being the Nano-competing Z5. The newer K5 is an exceptional twist on the MP3 player, providing a set of external speakers that allow you to unhook your ears from...

  • The built-in speaker is louder than youd expect. Very good sound quality.
  • Bulky for an MP3 player. Earbuds are oddly shaped. No PlaysForSure support

  • 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.
  • 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 Samsung YP-K5 is a unique MP3 player with a fun interface and great sound quality; it may be bulky around the middle, but its an excellent choice if you want to share your tunes at the drop of a dime.
