Tip device as ear and (!) Eye candy

This MP3 player is the 4GB version of YPK3 player it also exists with 1 or 2 GB - and is certainly one of the most beautiful ever. I myself find the absolutely noble and restrained style even much better than the Nano from Apple®. The features provide what you would expect from an MP3 player. One can listen to music, look at pictures or storing read texts and save or even use the device as a storage medium for files. About the normal Windows Explorer can copy the files into the appropriate locations. Music files can be but also via the supplied CD program Samsung Media Studio back and herspeichern. It's a bit similar to the iTunes program with Apple®. Class I find the built-in FM radio, because so may times to date news to hear, listen to sports broadcasts, enjoy a radio play when the set playing your music should be exhausted. This is, however, rare, as the 4 GB memory option provide for a lot of CD space.

The only 6.95 millimeters thin device does not just shine chrome-plated on the back, but also black on the front. The entire surface is black and one only, that it must be handlen to stable and scratch-resistant glass detects. And it does. The visual impression is a feast for the eyes, a viewing experience like no other! There are the noble player also in sharp red and fresh greens.

The case makes a very stable impression (metal with flat glass cover) and has a small but well-functioning slide switch for on / off and determination on the side, and a USB special connection (only for SAMSUNG cable, unfortunately, but not so bad , the is yes in the package and when it used folds also everything) and a connection for a 3.5-ear, headphones or speakers.

The behind the black front hidden, about 1.8 inch display is super classy revealed when you turn on the device. It shows first only each category: music, text, radio, settings. The icon shows only an outline of individual light points and it looks each made as if they were light bulbs that glow in total darkness.

The control points are no keys are light arrows or dots in blue, on a light touch of the so-called touch screen (ie Touch sensitive screen) resume their function. That works really well and has a total light, brief contact with the result that a short beep, a menu item can be scrolled through, or the selected object is achieved. Very easy to use and easy to understand. You can confirm each with a slight pressure on the present in the center of the displayed panel blue dot. This works perfectly well without any stylus or stylus.

Term
The battery life with the included USB cable with PC connection rechargeable lithium-polymer battery is a loud dealer specifying 25 hours. This is also a good look, and under high stress, of course, the energy may also be reduced by even a little earlier. However, it is rare that you continuously listen to a complete day music or radio, so you can recharge well in a resting phase. The battery is also designed so that the dreaded Memory® effect does not occur. Who is a USB plug are concerned (not in the basic equipment while a slight weakness!), Can even charge the device again without the computer. This investment should make it easier to handle enormous.

Special feature
The manufacturer of the MP3 player has come up with yet come up with a special feature for better listening experience, the so-called SRS (Sound Retrieval System) WOW®. Thus the performance of headphones is increased and you get a much stronger surround impression. The system also provides a more powerful bass, what overall sound quality improved.

Weaken
There are few weaknesses Fortunately. So it is a pity that not a standard USB cable is used, not accompanied by a charger, is not a protective sleeve case and any videos be considered. That would be in the purchase price but also to expect much. Players who can do that cost significantly more. In addition, the player can not because of the blind use because of the touch screen (in your pocket). But I take the benefit of the ingenious designs gladly accept.

Conclusion
Samsung MP3 player YP-K3 4GB YES is a major product and can any other comparable device securely hold a candle actually I find it even better. The design is not to beat and by the multiple functions it also suggests that competitors of the Apple® squad. But let everyone decide for themselves. The price is fully in order, because you really get a lot for your money.
