Great product if you do all your research. Samsung did not give any resources on the bluetooth ability of this product(the only thing that seperates it from any other product). Samsung makes Bluetooth stereo headphone called Samsung SBH170 for $69 to $89. You can use two with the YP-P2, but only one will control the player. They should have just improved on the YP-T9B(bluetooth model they never brought to the U.S.)it was a much more sleeker model and more ergonomic(it would fit into your front pocket of your jeans)the P2 is bulky and looks like an old Ipod. The radio does not work with bluetooth(Samsung failed to mention this). On their site they show pretty pictures but no helpful information. They even still show one of their T9 models on explore lineup but when you click on them it takes you to MPfreedom that cuts out the T9. They do not like to update their site as this player the YP-T9B bluetooth is still yet YTB announced release date.

Seeing that this was a highly rated mp3 player, I had high expectations for it. The screen, videos, and pictures on it look absolutly beautiful, and the touch screen didn't take long to get used to. I love everything about it except the one thing that counts the most when it comes to high end products like this, sound quality! It sounds good mostly, but it lacks real punchy bass, and it distorts easy when increasing the bass in the EQ. My other mp3 player is a Cowon U2, the sound quality on it is an audiophile's dream. But with a measly 1 gig of memory, and not designed to play videos I want something else, good sound quality is a must for me!

I gave this product 4 stars because it not the easiest thing to get content on to. The player itself was simple to use. The menus on the screen has small icons. Not recommended for first time mp3 owners or persons with large fingers. Video conversion time will vary depending on the size and file type. From my experience it takes about the same amount of time as the video file or less, keep in mind that I have a 6 year old desktop. Conversion should be a lot faster for new computers. When converting make sure to choose the highest settings for quality.
