Samsung YP-T9

I’d been wanting a portable mp3 player for a while now and even requested one for Christmas from my brother, but I guess he didn’t catch on to the hint and he got me a watch instead. Didn’t want to buckle down and pay for an iPod like most of my friends. Was never really a fan of Apple products.

So I copped another brand instead. I read various reviews on several brands of mp3 players as well as tested some in-store, and I finally decided on one that I liked, which retails for around $150. But Nikki is a bargain shopper, so I hit up Ebay got a brand new 4GB Samsung YP-T9 still in the box!

Dare I say I’m diggin’ the hell outta this little jewel? And I’m shocked by the quality of the stereo playback from the earphones. Sounds like the artists are right in the room with me, that’s how good the earphones are.

So if you’re in the market for an alternative to the iPod, you might wanna check out the Samsung YP-T9. It also comes in a 2GB model as well.
