  Pros: Excellent, Shuffle-beating sound quality. Well built. Astoundingly cheap

  Samsung YP-S2 (Pebble) MP3 player
  By Rohan Naravane
  
  Review summary: Samsung's little 'Pebble' tries to give other screen-less MP3 players a run for their money.
  
  Pros: Stylish and elegant design, Pendant-style wearing, Ultra-light and Compact, Good audio quality, Good battery life
  
  Cons: No folder-skip option, Slow data transfer rates, Spartan feature list
  
  Verdict: This 'Smart' button basically shuffles between the 3 sound-enhancing EQ presets while playing a song. When it is pressed-and-held, it selects the play mode (such as shuffle, repeat and normal). One thing I thought was missing is the 'folder-skip' ...

  Pros: Wallet-friendly price, Excellent sound quality, Simple, attractive design

  Samsung YP-S2 (Pebble)
  By Andrew Kliem
  
  Pros: Tiny, cute design, easy to use
  
  Cons: No LCD screen, simple feature set
  
  Verdict: Samsung's YP-S2 Pebble MP3 player is a unit for those after something basic. It does a good job with music playback and it looks stylish, but it lacks the features of its more expensive counterparts.

  Samsung YP-S2
  By Tim Gideon
  
  Review summary: The YP-S2, aka the Pebble, won't win any awards for sound quality or battery life, but it's a cheap, gym-friendly iPod shuffle competitor.
  
  Pros: Small and lightweight. Cheap. Gym-friendly earphones. Can create playlists on the go.
  
  Cons: Earbuds lack bass. Necklace earphone design not for everyone. Cable-free PC connection is awkward.
  
  Verdict: Awfully similar to Creative's ZEN Stone in looks, price, and performance, the Samsung YP-S2 is an excellent alternative to the iPod shuffle.
