"Attractive mp3 player with astonishing quality"

by span1 on April 15, 2007

Pros: Design, Quality, Price, Ear piece, Satisfying sharp picture

Cons: Easy to slip, Loose contact with earpiece slot, No video play
Summary: This is my first mp3 player which I bought as I recently joint a boring gym which plays no music.

I had budget of around $100 in my mind. After researching through cnet, I found flash drive based mp3 was suitable to my need. Besides stored song I wished to have FM capability too, hence I zeroed to SanDisk(Sansa)and Samsung(K3). I was more inclined towards Sansa as it was already in market with solid opinions by users and cnet directors. The K3 was recently introduced with 1 or 2 user opinions only, so I went to best buy stores for a look rather than shopping online.

I found K3 extremely appealing, sound quality better than expected and decided to buy it ($119) despite discount offered on Sansa models.I found Sansa to be thicker and not as attractive as K3. My friends really found K3 cool. K3 is something like krazer while Sansa is like razr.

I am satisfied with my purcase so far and I am listening it almost every day since I bought, about 10 days ago.

On the negative side, it almost slipped from my hand on occasion and I also found the earpiece port to be rather loose and it sometimes creates loose contact.

I wish futuristic model to arrive with video capability. At moment it only has picture storing capability and quality is surprisingly sharper, better than I imagined.

I would recommend this player to all music lovers and I would happly grade K3 9 out of 10.Good job by Samsung.

You have to put it all the way in and it'll then click in place tightly. At first I thought it was loose too, until I pushed further.
