Samsung K5 comes with a satisfying classy design, and I do admit that the sleek touch sensitive interface, blue button menus, and built in speakers is the strength of the Samsung K5. The model is available as a 1GB, 2GB or 4 GB which also comes with a...

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...

If you cant keep your music to yourself, and you must share it with everyone around you, then having just earphones and an MP3 player probably wont do it for you. Youd need to have a set of speakers on you, in addition to the visually attractive Sam...

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...

Earlier we had tested a Samsung MP3 player; the YP-Z5Q. The player was quite good, but the pricing was not really the expected type and the biggest Con was the missing FM tuner. That isnt the case in the YP-K5.
Great design, Good sound output, Impressive integrated speaker, Image viewer, Good battery life...
Expensive, FM tuner did not work...
The in-built speaker of the YP-K5 will amaze you. They not only sound good but play pretty loud as well. The speaker set consists of two 0.5-inch drivers on both ends of the player. Most phones see in-built speakers and by far the phone with best spea...

With slide-out speakers and touch-sensitive buttons, the Samsung YP-K5 is in a league of its own. Should you play ball, or find a different game?...
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...
