S amsung Electronics, a market leader in consumer electronics and IT equipment, announced it's newest digital creation: the K5 (Model Name: YP-K5), a lightweight MP3 player with heavyweight features including an innovative touch screen, FM radio receiver, and built-in speakers. In the 1980s, the personal music revolution allowed users to individualise and privatise their listening styles. Now, Samsung's K5 is kick-starting the trend to break out of this shell by enabling users to share their music experience with others. Samsung has combined their lauded MP3 players designs with those of a mini-boom box to create a unique listening experience.

Samsung YP-K5 - Built-in Speakers
The K5 offers a unique experience through its embedded speakers. The K5's built-in stereo speakers disappear behind the unit when not in use, yet when needed effortlessly slide out to create a free-standing mini-stereo system. Despite being a fraction of the size of the smallest stereo system, the K5's slide-out speaker design delivers the same great sound - no distortion, great volume, and a defined deep bass. Perfect for the active, hip and young lifestyle, the YP-K5 travels with you, allowing you to live your life in sound.

 

Samsung K5 - Bass Sound enhanced earphones
The K5 comes with earphones that boast innovative two-part ear buds that boost sound quality and provide the hardware to surround yourself with a powerful sound with enhanced bass tones.

Enjoy the same acoustic experience that you would hear from your home stereo. The ergonomic plugs fit securely and comfortably while cutting out extraneous sound. A volume control option prevents you from playing the music at harmful levels, but still allows you to appreciate all the nuances and artistic styles of your favourite songs.

 

Samsung K5 - Multi-directional keys

Enhanced usability and intuitive interfaces make the K5 playable right out of the box. Hit the power and brilliant OLED lighting illuminates the glossy black surface, and a vertical display guides the user through the K5's multimedia features. The intuitive navigation and aesthetic graphics brighten the screen and complement the K5's comprehensive features, including adaptive displays. Music is conveniently catalogued in various folders, allowing you to quickly locate your song of choice. When the speaker slides out, the K5 seamlessly switches from vertical to horizontal view automatically. The keys on the touch screen remain the same; the multi-directional keys just rotate 90 degrees when going from private to speaker mode for a minimum number of keys, a simplified system and a minimalist look.

Bringing your music to a larger number of users, the stereo speakers invite everyone to listen to the K5. From teenager to grandparent, classical purist to hip hop enthusiast, early adopter to music traditionalist, the K5 brings together a community of like-minded individuals to bridge the digital divide. Fitting easily in the palm of your hand, the K5 is cool and slick to the touch due to its premium magnesium finish. With rounded corners and perfectly flush edging, the compact and slim features allow for easy one-handed dexterity and control.

The K5 allows you to share your listening experience with others whether it be a hot new track you just downloaded or the latest FM radio charts.
