As another extra, Samsung has included a carrying case. Now we had some issues with the case design. First off it improperly fit the player, and second, once the case was closed you didn't have access to the buttons.
Here we have the handy neck strap to carry the unit around.
The headphones performed adequately and the bass and treble range isn't too bad. Audiophiles will want to upgrade to better headphones to take advantage of the full quality sound the 55i player provides.
Unlike some MP3 players out there, the 55i has no need for a separate software program to load and delete files from the player. The 55i is completely drag and drop. Simply open up window explorer and drag music into the player. It's that simple!
Bundled with the driver disk is Samsungs YEPP Studio. Yepp studio is sort of Samsungs version of Winamp. It has your typical play list cababilities, play, pause, etc
Testing:
Music:
The 55i is nice player and provides good quality play back. The addition of the 3D sound enhancement really is what makes this player shine.
Radio:
The radio functions very well and you can even store up to twenty stations in memory for quick access.
Record:
The voice recording feature works but the sound quality isn't too great, though it's adequate for recording short memos.
The recordings are recorded in WAV format, and can be played by the player.
The 55i can also encode in MP3 which sounds quite good. The 55i can create mp3 files right off an audio input. You can even record the radio on the player with this function.
The Yepp YP 55i is a feature packed MP3 Player that can provide hours of music and is small enough for the person on the go.
If you're in the market for a full featured MP3 Player, you should check out the Yepp YP 55i.
