Samsung YP-K3JQR K3 2 GB Slim Portable Media Player (Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well, here's Samsung's answer to the ipod nano, and it's a beauty. Yes, this is the RED Samsung K3 2GB mp3 player with built-in FM tuner. The unit is sleek, stylish, easy to use, and it offers EXCELLENT sound. The earbuds provided sound as good as my Sennheiser earbuds, unexpected performance for pack-ins. Though I haven't filled the K3's memory to capacity, it would appear to hold around thirty albums or 500 songs at the standard 128bit sound quality. There are a number of EQ settings designed for different types of music, but you can also set up your own custom setting using the built-in seven-band equalizer. FM performance is excellent as well, with adjustable sensitivity. The little color screen works great as a GUI but washes out in sunlight and doesn't do the greatest justice to your photos. This unit excels at playing music, not displaying photos. Beyond that, battery life is claimed to be 25 hours. I have been using the K3 with the Belkin mp3 armband designed for nanos and K3's, and it's very unobtrusive and comfortable to wear. For someone who grew up in an era of portable battery-powered record players accompanied by a stack of worn 45's, this is an amazing device!

Featuring a bright, 1.8-inch full-color OLED display, the Samsung K3 is an ultra-thin 2 GB subscription-enabled MP3 player. Instead of being limited to one equalizer mode, the K3 has five EQ modes so that your music plays the way you want to hear it.
Keeping up with the Samsung media players of the past, Samsung includes above-average headphones with the K3, so you'll be able to enjoy your favorite music files with high-quality resonance right out of the box. These bass-boosting earphones fit comfortably in your ear and substantially limit extraneous noise for an improved listening experience. With an easy-to-browse picture menu, photo-viewing capabilities, and a built-in FM tuner, the K3 truly stands out among other Flash-drive-based MP3 players.
The K3 supports MP3, WMA, and DRM-Janus audio files and JPEG photo files. The player's Li-Poly battery supports up to 20 hours of continuous audio playback. For added convenience, the battery recharges every time the player is linked to a live USB connection. And with its speedy USB 2.0 connectivity, transferring audio and picture files to the device is a snap. Compatible with Windows XP and later operating systems, the K3 measures 3.78 x 1.73 x 0.27 inches and weighs just 1.76 ounces.
What's in the Box K3 media player, balance earphones, USB cable, and installation CD.
