Samsung YP-E32 Yepp MP3 Player

Product Description

Yepp is designed for the young New Millennium generation, which is revolutionizing the way music is heard and experienced. Over the Internet community, the personal computer is quickly replacing the stereo system for providing high fidelity digital quality music and the Internet is becoming a major source of music information and content. Yepp appeals to your energetic lifestyle. With its extremely small form factor, you can take Yepp with you no matter where you go, whether you're trekking through the Himalayas or just jogging around the park. The fact that Yepp has no moving parts and an aluminum front case also means it is better at handing the hard knocks you may experience along the way.Yepp plays MP3 digital audio music files downloaded from your computer. It has a high power output signal (7mW) and a seven-mode equalizer. Yepp is one of smallest and lightest MP3 players on the market. You can connect it to your belt with its handy clip or you can carry it in your pocket and barely notice it's there. Yepp's 3-line LCD display lets you see the titles of the songs stored on your MP3 player. This feature will be useful, since the RealJukebox PC software that is provided with Yepp lets you put together custom play lists of your choosing. Yepp can be used to access a phone directory of hundreds of personal contacts. The information is entered on your PC and is downloaded in the same way that you would download an MP3 music file from your PC. You can record up to two hours of voice using Yepp's voice recording function. You can use Yepp to record your school class or store messages that will remind you of things you need to do. You can then e-mail your voice messages to anyone you want!

Amazon.com Review

With 32 MB of flash memory, a SmartMedia expansion slot, voice recording capabilities, space to hold up to 300 phone numbers, and an easy-to-read LCD screen, you may be wondering how you ever lived without the Samsung YP-E32 Yepp. This ultracompact, lightweight MP3 player is your ticket to ride the Internet music wave and is available at a comparatively low price.

In a world of translucent, multicolored and oddly shaped MP3 players, Samsung chose the pared-down look and designed the Yepp in a simple, yet stylish aluminum case with nicely placed buttons. The multiline LCD screen is one of the clearest we've seen--when it's playing back an MP3, it shows the song title, artist, total song length, and the amount of time elapsed. The LCD display also includes icons that show the remaining battery life and current mode.

Installing the Yepp's is a bit more difficult than you might expect. You must first install the software; then you attach the cable to your PC's parallel port. However, you need to make sure your parallel port is configured to ECP mode, otherwise the software won't even install. The user's guide isn't entirely clear on how to select ECP mode within your BIOS settings, so be sure to have your computer manual at your side during the process.

Once we got the Yepp up and running, it was remarkably easy to download music to the player using the Yepp's intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Ninety percent of the MP3 battle is taking the time to convert your CDs to MP3 format or download them from the Internet. However, if you already have a respectable library of MP3 music, you'll be using the Yepp in no time. If you don't, though, the Yepp ships with RealJukebox, a music management software program, and some starter MP3 files (though you can use any MP3-playing software you like).

As for sound quality, it's certainly not the cleanest audio you'll hear, but given the format and technology, it still sounds pretty impressive. We suggest tossing the uncomfortable, earbud-style headphones that come with the Yepp and upgrading to some better quality headphones--you'll notice an improvement immediately.

What else can the Yepp do? On top of being a portable audio device, the Yepp also functions as a telephone directory, holding up to 300 contacts. Don't worry, though, these files won't infringe on your memory, as they take up only a few kilobytes of space. You can also use the Yepp to store up to two hours of voice recording and then transfer the files to your computer.

With all that power in one tiny and cool package, the Yepp is sure to please. And even if you're not a computer whiz, chances are it'll only take you a few minutes to figure out the Yepp's technical workings.

Pros:

Nicely designed and lightweight
Easy-to-use interface
Also stores voice audio and phone numbers
Upgradable with SmartMedia cards

Cons:

Skimpy user's guide
Uncomfortable headphones

Some Helpful Information for Other YP-E32 users.......2003-12-16

I've owned this product for about 2 years and it has been very reliable but there are a few things that could have been added to make it better. The only knock is the interface...parrallel is slow and there's not much you can do about that. I tried using a USB smartmedia writer/reader to download music onto and then tried it in the YP-E32 itself. The player does not recongnize the formate and will not display it nor play it. A friend lent me a 128mb smartmedia card to try and again the player would not read that either. It needs the 32mb cards. I'm still searching for a better interface set-up. Any ideas please post them.
If you want better quality sound you need a good jukebox program that will allow you to rip or write music at or near CD quality.
But remember, the higher the kbs the bigger the file therefore, the number of songs you will be able to download will be less.
Otherwise it's been a great little toy.

More Abuot Smart Media card for this player.......2003-01-03

I want to know, can I put 64mb Smart media card in Yp-E32 player, or to this player fits only 32mb card?? It would be great if I'll get someones answer.

Not great, but pretty good.......2000-12-10

I got this MP3 player a few months ago, and I think it is really good. It works really well, the sound is good enough that you can hear even when it is noisy around you, and when it comes down to it, it is pretty easy to use. The problems are that you can't store a whole heck of a lot on it (I have to figure out a way to compress the music... that might help) and the instructions aren't all that easy to follow. Once you figure it out though, it's a piece of cake. My friends love the MP3 player, and they all want one now. Also beware, it eats up batteries like most electronic things. If you want a player just to listen to music when you are out, and you don't mind not having a million songs to listen to, this is the MP3 player for you.

This product ain't ready.......2000-10-30

I received this from Amazon and it just wasn't a product that was ready to use. I am fairly technical and I couldn't get this thing working on either Win98 or Win2k. Basically, I connected it to my parallel port(s) and it would download and display 1 or 2 files, then when a 3rd or 4th was downloaded it would nuke the second and not accept any more downloads - displaying only the first, no matter how many you try to download. I found I could only reliably download 1 file before the thing went crazy. I am returning it to Amazon.

After this one sucked, I bought a Rio 500 and it is a MUCH better product - it works reliably and sounds good, but you have to be smarter than the software they give you or forget it. I had to tell it to look only for a Rio PMP 500 or it would get confused by my scanner while looking for a PMP 300.

Killer Internet Device.......2000-10-29

The device is very cool. Best things: it's small; it doesn't skip when running; sound is cd quality to me. What is not that cool is: 1) 32K is way too little memory for MP3 files, you must buy the 64K as I had to buy a smartmedia card right away.... Therefore, it's cheaper to buy the 64K device instead. 2) The headphones are not that great. 3) The device does not work with my 1997 vintage computer (Windows 95), I have to use a co-worker's computer to download the files to the Yepp. 4)The included instructions are not intuitive, make sure you read the entire booklet before proceeding. But this is a great product at a great price, I highly recommend getting a Yepp.

Product Description

Monster Video 3's (MV3) reputation for delivering the clearest, sharpest picture and the brightest, most accurate colors is well founded. MV3 was the first video cable ever to receive certification by the prestigious Imaging Science Foundation - the home theatre industry's recognized authority on video reproduction. With an extremely linear bandwidth to 550MHz and 75-Ohm impedance, MV3 offers consistently outstanding picture definition for composite video, component video and cable TV. MV3 features a unique gas-injected dielectric for improved, high velocity signal transfer. True metal-to-metal double shielding of foil and copper braid provides maximum protection against EM and RF interference.MV3's signal-carrying conductor is embedded in the center of a unique dielectric (insulator). Gas is injected into the dielectric, creating uniform, microscopic cells that allow the conductor to rest in the exact center of the cable (even when the cable is bent). The result is consistent 75-Ohm impedance for maximum signal strength, consistent performance and efficient transfer of video signals between components. The Imaging Science Foundation demands stringent standards be met for cable certification. MV3 not only meets ISF standards but exceeds them. That's why ISF calls Monster Video 3 "absolutely necessary for good pictures in home theatre." One look and you'll agree.

Great Cables with Easy To Use Fittings - But Expensive !!!.......2006-06-01

These are great cables. They look and feel great and are easy to connect. They eliminate fuzzy pictures caused by local stations signals leaking into your cable system. They are fully shielded, but are still quite flexible.

The quality is great, but you will pay for it.

They work!!.......2006-05-02

We have cable TV. One of the network channels frequently had "waves" or "ripples" even though it came thru the cable box.

The white cable from the cable company seemed to work so we knew the problem was somewhere in the store bought cables that linked the cable box, TV, TIVO, VCR.. probably leakage INTO our system from the over the air signal. This diagnosis was reinforced because we could usually change the "ripples" by moving or twisting our cables.

We eventually bought Monster Cables (both the 1M and 2M lengths + their signal splitter) and the problem disappeared completely.

These cables are outrageously expensive and, as far as we can tell, not discounted anywhere, but they stopped the signal leakage and not only improved the problem channel but, I think, reception generally.

Possibly, we did not need to replace all of the cables but we never tried individual replacement to see if we could isolate the problem to one or more specific cables.

Five stars to any product that does what it is supposed to.

A lot of dough, but a great cable.......2004-10-20

This is an absolutely beautiful cable. If you want to get a great quality F-PIN cable, then this is it. I don't think I can ever go back to the cruddy cables that come in the box with the VCR.

It is gold plated and so well built that you'll wonder why you never used something like this before. The cable is really thick and it screws on really easily and holds really solidly. (I don't know about you but I have to string these darn cables in the hardest to reach places -behind a desk- at a bad angle, so I need all the support that I can get. These cables are really good at free twisting -i.e. when you twist on the cable with one hand it goes on easily and the cable itself doesn't turn and bunch up while you are doing it).

More importantly, since the quality of this cable is so high you can be sure that you won't be losing much signal.

I had to buy four of these because the signal from my cable provider had to be split 4 times and the it was very degraded. These cables did help some, and the cost was worth it to me. (I had to split the signal to another room, then to another room, then to a cable modem and a cable TV box, and then to a Computer and a TV).

Please note, these cables will NOT make a BAD signal better. They WILL prevent a bad signal from degrading further. This is important. If the signal coming in to your house is bad there's not much you can do. But if the cable company says you have a good signal coming in, then you can. In my case I was hoping that I had a good signal that was degraded by the cheap wiring and splitting that I used. In the end I was half right. The signal isn't great on my analog channels but it sure is better than it was.

Finally, if you are going to purchase this cable then I highly recommend purchasing the equivalent quality splitter (if you need it). The "Monster Cable TGHZ-2RF Two Gigahertz Low-Loss RF Splitters For TV & Satellite 2-Way 2 Gigahertz RF Splitter" [Product Number: B00003CWG2] is a wonderful product, too. I can't imagine using anything else with the cables above. To be honest, this will probably make more of a difference to your signal than the cable itself. (Look at your current splitter -if it sells for two bucks at Radio Shack then you can bet you're not getting the best signal because of it).

Overall, very pricy but worth it if you want to splurge.

Excellent longevity.......2007-02-19

My family has owned this system for over five years and have experienced little to no problems with any of the handsets or the base. The biggest plus of these phones is their durability. In five years they have been dropped hundreds of times, chewed on by a large dog, had coffee spilled on them - you name it and this phone has been through it. Initially, we did have some problems with low battery life, but we switched to newer Energizer rechargeables and all is now fine. My absolute favorite feature is the intercom feature. Our home is three stories so it is a hassle to try to get the attention of someone on the first floor if you are on the third. Since we have a handset in the middle of each floor, I can just press a button and chat rather than treking down two flights of stairs. This has proven to be an indisposable feature and I have tried to no avail to find another expandable system that has this feature. One negative feature that is a bit annoying is the lack of a flash button. To answer call waiting calls you must push the memory button. If you hold it too long you will enter the memory menu and then you have missed the incoming call. The other negative is that these phones are not readily available at local stores. We lost a handset recently (literally lost the handset, no fault of Siemens) and had to order the phone online rather than running out to big box mart for a replacement - a minor inconvenience. In fact, both of the negative comments are minor inconveniences, not deal breakers. From reading the posts, others have had technical support issues, but in our five years of experience with these phones under the most severe conditions (small children, large dog, clumsy owners) we have only had to contact technical support once when one of the handsets wasn't charging properly. We reached technical support right away and they suggested cleaning the contacts with alcohol. We did and it worked. And no, there is no interferene with our wireles home network.

Pretty Good Phones, Overall.......2006-06-07

I have used the Gigaset 4215 base and three 4200 extension phones for about 3 years. Overall I have been quite pleased with them. The sound quality is fine, the speakerphone is convenient, the features are ample.

Reliability seems to come up a lot in reviews of this product, so I'll particularly focus on that. The first 4215 base didn't work, so I exchanged it at Best Buy, no problem. After that, the base unit and all extension units worked fine. One extension unit did recently die when the batteries leaked. I had replaced the original batteries and should have bought better-quality replacements.

Poor sound quality is another issue that gets mentioned often in reviews. I haven't had any problems with sound quality. Occasionally I've noticed interference with either the 802.11b WiFi system or the microwave, manifested as a "clicking" noise. It stops when I move away from the WiFi or turn the microwave off.

Complexity could be an issue, if you don't like to read manuals. I spent a couple hours reading the manuals and setting up the phones, and have had no issues since then.

Finally, I've dropped the handsets numerous times and the base unit has been subjected to several power outages, with no ill effects. I can use the handsets all over the house, as well as outside and even across the street. The battery life is fine, I never have run out of batteries during a conversation and in our house the handsets only find their way back to the charger cradles every couple days or so.

What don't I like? I wish the handsets had jacks for headsets. And there is a "lag" between key presses and the corresponding tones, which is a bit irritating when dealing with automated phone systems (e.g. entering your account number).

In the end, I've been happy with these phones. We are moving to a new house and I am looking for a phone system which can accept more than four extension phones. I'll be buying either a Siemens 2400 system (really cheap on eBay, but no speakerphone feature) or a Siemens 8800 system (not so cheap, but have speakerphone). Siemens phones get a terrible pasting in the reviews here, but I've had a happier experience.

Finally, I like the styling. I know, it is subjective, but I think the looks of the VTechs, Panasonics, etc are pretty cheesy.

Don't Buy this phone!.......2004-11-09

I've bought two of these phones and the base is defective. Both times the base went dead and Siemens would not fix stating that it was and act of god(power fluctuations). The second time I purchased I owned the phone less than 60 days!

Siemens customer service Sucks!

Works flawlessly.......2004-10-14

I have 3 units and looking to add a couple for complete in-house coverage. Best phone I have ever had. Exceeded all expectations.

Cell phone features for the house!.......2004-07-25

I've had this phone, and two extra handsets, for a year now, and have really enjoyed it. The range is excellent, and the phones are really feature packed. One feature I use often is the voice dial -- just push a button and say the name of the person you want to call, and the phone dials the number for you. Also, the phone will announce who is calling after the second ring. I've not had any problems with battery life, and am still using the original batteries that came with it -- which are just AA rechargeables, not some $15 special "battery pack" that most other cordless phones use, so when they do go out, I can easily pick up a set at any store. Plus the voice mailbox function works with just the push of a button -- we have the Verizon voice mail system with our package, and don't need the one in the phone, but it works seamlessly.

Great headphones...until they break.......2005-08-27

If you just want a pair of headphones where you can relax and listen to music these are for you. They are extremely quiet on the outside too. Of course they aren't perfect but these headphones barely leak out anything. The rather large earmuffs really hold in the sound when the cushions are secured to your face.

Back to the sound, it is flawless. One disadvantage of these is that I now have to search for better quality versions of the mp3's I have because the imperfections stick out. Although the high quality mp3's I already have really sound awesome. With the 10' coil-less cord, you can watch TV at a comfortable distance too. I was trying to decide between the equally priced HD280 Pro's but I didn't want to have to deal with the coil in the cord. The cord even comes out of the headphone so that you can pack it up more easily. The headphones don't collapse though...but still don't take up that much room.

These headphones aren't the most comfortable headphones though, because they are rather heavy. The cushions make my ears warm and a little sweaty.

********Review, 8 months after purchasing***********

OK so my headphones broke. I use them at the computer and all of a sudden when I went to use them one day the right ear was not making sound. Sennheiser doesn't make this model anymore so I had them send me the HD555's instead. This pair sounds better, especially the bass, but it leaks 50% of the sound because they're open headphones. The cable connecting the right phone to the left is completely concealed by the headband, unlike these EH2270's.

Clean Accurate Sound, Good isolation, simple rugged design.......2005-03-18

These headphones are all about clean accurate sound. No artificial bass or treble. If you are spending a good deal of time looking for perfect headphones I hope you find this usefull.

Sound : Extreemly clean, No artificial bass or treble effects.
High Frequency notes: Response : Excellent
Mid Range : Good
Bass: Good (if your player supports high volume levels. I use creative zen micro & IBM thinkpad with winamp). The sound gets better with age (i think EH2270 needs some breakin period). After one year mine sound really tight. Prolonged use doesnt hurt ears like many other headphones. I use atleast 7-8 hrs straight a day.

Design: Excellent rugged design. The wire is connected with gold plated plugs to the ear cups. Plugs are better than solder like in bose Triport. Any sudden pull will pull the plug out which you can insert back in(saves your investment in long term). Over all feel of headphones is very comfortable. My only gripe is the size. A smaller size would be really nice to have. Build quality is pretty good. The best part is the earcups hug the ears so well that you cant hear any outside noise and your music doesnt disturb people around (very important in office use and in flights or long trips). EH2270 is very very rugged.

I personally give a very good rating to sennheiser becuase even after an year I tend to use them a lot more than my bose triports. Bose in their own right are good. In simple terms Bose Triports sound RICH where as sennheiser sound Clean and tight. When it comes to day to day rough use and consistent clean sound Sennheiser takes a clean sweap. Besides they are cheaper too.

Even after an year of use I cant find a single issue with these headphones...
Happy headphones hunting

Nearly Flawless Headphones.......2005-01-20

I bought my set of Sennheiser 2270's about a year ago, and have used them for hundreds of hours since then. There is an initail "burn-in" period of a few hours to get the full frequency response, and after that, they really shine.

They produce tight sound across the spectrum, and have great isolation properties. No one else can hear you, and you can't hear other people (for the most part).

The ONLY downside is that these are high-resistance (high ohm) phones, and that translates to the user having to turn up the volume a little higher than you might be used to, in order to power them. Regular CD players come through a little weak, but computers, receivers, and most mp3 players do just fine. I can speak from firsthand experience that my Nomad Jukebox 2 powers them at the highest level at a very reasonable listening volume.

What really convinced me that these were the least set of headphones I would ever buy is how well you forget you are wearing them, coupled with the high sound quality. When I play games on my computer, I have actually jumped at the sound of a gunshot, or turned when a door creaked open.

They are light and extremely well made. Comfortable as anything I could wish for, I have worn them for over 8 hours on a roadtrip and thought nothing of it.

Another great feature is the cord. Thick and long enough, but manageable, it unplugs from the left earpiece easily, so when you catch the cord on something, you only unplug them instead of destroying something.

I can't say enough about how great these are. BUY THEM. You will NOT be disapponted.

The Way Music Was Intended To Sound.......2005-01-11

I use the EH-2270's for professional monitoring as well as personal use. The headphones efficiency is such that it's use with my Sony portable (sport)discman is more than adequate. Use with multi-track studio mixing and recording equipment is simply outstanding. Some of the reviews that I had read about these "cans" kept me from ordering these until recently. I am more than satified with the purchase.

For potential buyers:

When looking at the picture of the headphones, remind yourself that these headphones are much lighter than they look. I have used these for over 6 hours at a time with no fatigue whatsoever.

These headphones need to be broken in. At first, they (as most high quality cans) were somewhat harsh in the upper midrange. It took about 12-15 hours of moderate volume usage to obtain the designed fidelity.

I have never heard such flat bass response from a set of cans. To clarify, I must say that these faithfully reproduce extremely low bass without the usual "headphone mid-bass boom."

Overall, these headphones are nothing short of fantastic!!!
No tone control required.

Do not buy to use with mp3 player / personal stereo.......2004-08-10

I bought these to use with my Creative Jukebox Zen when travelling, but the moment I tested them I knew they were a waste of money. When listening to my mp3 I usually have the volume at 50% - in order to hear music at the same volume with these things I have to set the volume to maximum! Are you meant to place loudspeakers between the headphones and your ears? I don't understand how some retailers sell these at $200.

Again, Monster has to be kidding (and they are).......2006-04-29

For some years I tried this and other Monster products, to the tune of over $1000 in Monster a/v gear. The more you learn about video and audio, the more you'll avoid anything with the Monster label. Specifically, this s-video meets no NTSC, DVD or IEEE standard; it is common 30-ohm hookup wire with ineffective shielding and a poorly designed, low-conductance connect plug that can wreck your input jacks and gives poor grounding. Has a sharp image, but includes a catalog of chromatic aberrations from off-color skin tones to color blotching, dirty grays, burned highlights, murky shadows, noisy reds, and poor color balance due to impedance mismatching that results in cyan errors and bleeding reds. Makes video test patterns look great, but who watches test patterns all day? Amazon offers many other brands at good prices, why waste your $$ on this stuff? I removed every piece of Monster from my system and replaced them with AR, Belden, Viewsonics and others from Amazon. Result: vast improvement in every respect.

They stand behind their products.......2003-10-18

I had a pair of these cables for approximately 2 years when i noticed there was a frayed end where the connector started to come off. I didn't notice any change in performance but I recalled that ALL Monster Cable "wires" have a lifetime warranty. I thought I'd try and take advantage of their claim and low and behold, I easily made arrangements to have a new one exchanged. It took only a week of waiting (back and forth shipping, mind you) and I had a brand spanin' new cable in my possesion. Great customer service!!!

I am unable to verify its ultra high performance.......2002-07-18

~I bought the MVSV3-1m cable and put it between my Pioneer V555 DVD player and SONY WEGA tv KV-27FS12, I was unable to see with my naked eyes any improvement regading the visual quality, color, sharpness. Same as the result as I used the composite cable came with the box. I really don't know why. I have to say, my TV is a good one and the picture quality is already satisfactory even I don't use DVD player. Unfortunately my DVD player does not have component jack to let me try the next level video~~ experience. I don't want to say this expensive cable is a poor one, I was just unable to verify its alledged ultra high performance. we just don't have a benchmark to evaluate it.~

Waste of money !!!.......2002-02-08

No difference compared to another good cable costing 1/2 as much.
Don't believe me - buy and then return it, or just save yourself
the trouble. Monster preys on perfectionists. Those people
giving such great reviews don't know the difference between
an ohm and plastic.

Waste of money !!!.......2002-02-08

Better than nothing........2005-12-28

I was hesitant with this camera. The indoor pictures aren't the best, but they'll do. During a recent trip to Arizona, I got the chance to appreciate this camera. But if you want a fast-shooting, panoramic kind of camera, you'd be better buying a camera from Sony, Nikon, or Canon.
