With decent MP3 playback quality, great features like an alarm clock, FM radio, powerful stock earphones, 30-hour battery life (7 hours in speaker mode), and most of all the ability to double as a boom box, Samsung surely has a winner on its hands; in fact we highly recommend the K5 for those who would like to enjoy their music without stuffing their ears full all the time.
With the season of joyful carols and sharing approaching, we can already imagine post-Christmas with all the 'thoughtful' sharing of yuletide music on the commute…at full volume. The Samsung K5 is available end-October in 2GB and 4GB capacities priced S$308 and S$408 respectively.
