Samsung YP-K5

01 Mar, 2007, 1:40 pm IST | by Shayne Rana | PMPs PMPs

If you can't keep your music to yourself, and you must share it with everyone around you, then having just earphones and an MP3 player probably won't do it for you. You'd need to have a set of speakers on you, in addition to the visually attractive Samsung's new K5, to do the trick!

Design
The Samsung K-5 player comes with its own set of tiny built-in speakers. Simply slide them out from behind the screen. The player itself is fairly compact, sleek and lightweight. But considering the "hidden" stereo speakers, it does make it a bit thick. No thicker than your average mobile phone though.

The cool blue touch screen surface has a 5-way navigation pad and 2 additional pads for the various other settings. The keys are a bit too sensitive however, as the buttons are too closely spaced. The problem here is that you’ll almost always end up pressing the wrong button.

The menu animation on the OLED screen is something you must see to believe. The OLED screen has a resolution of 128x160 pixels which is just right for viewing your photos on the 1.7-inch screen.

Now, I’ve seen some weird earphones in my time but these take the cake. Though, I wasn’t entirely sure how to get them into my ears at first, I have to say, they are awesome. These ergonomically, or rather, "odd shaped ear pieces", are perfect for drowning out any unwanted sounds from the outside world. They fit perfectly into your ear.
