Abstract: Video Review: The Samsung K5 MP3 Player has generated a lot of buzz since it was released, and there is good reason.With a cool looking organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display and great sounding slide out speakers while still having a small size t...
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...

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...
