Samsung S2 Pebble (1GB, white) review

By Jasmine France

The Samsung S2 Pebble is an excellent value: it's inexpensive, sounds great, and offers a sleek and stylish design. It also includes a couple of useful extras, such as an on-the-go playlist and sound effects. The earphone plug design is handy.

There's no screen, and operating the Samsung S2 Pebble's extra functions takes some practice.

The Samsung S2 Pebble is a simple, cute MP3 player that offers a super affordable price tag, good sound quality, and some compelling extras. It's a great option for those who like to wear their devices pendant style.

To that end, Samsung is throwing its chip into the game in the form of the S2 Pebble, a screenless MP3 player that looks like a shiny stone. The Samsung S2 Pebble is perhaps the most stylish MP3 player we've come across in the ultrabudget...

YP-S2

By Ginny Mies

The minimalist Samsung YP-S2 (Pebble) audio player is a fun, inexpensive alternative to the iPod Shuffle. But be prepared to spend some time with its manual: The absence of a screen makes navigating this player's many features tricky.

Advanced features despite simple design Unique and wearable design

No screen makes navigation difficult Mediocre sound

Despite lacking a screen, the S2 Pebble manages to gather an impressive array of advanced features into a minimalist design. And if you'd rather wear your MP3 player as a necklace than as a clip, the S2 gives you a chic way to do it

In shape, the YP-S2 resembles a polished stone, which explains its Pebble nickname.

Samsung YP-S2 (Pebble)

By Jeffrey L. Wilson

A stylish, no-frills music player that gives the iPod shuffle a run for it's money.

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

Lacks a display, Uncomfortable earbuds

The Samsung YP-S2 held its charge for just over 10 hours of continuous music playback, which is more than enough time for an adrenaline-pumping soundtrack for the gym or for providing a much-needed distraction while taking a lengthy flight. Like the ...

Samsung YP-S2

By Tim Gideon

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.

Small and lightweight. Cheap. Gym-friendly earphones. Can create playlists on the go.

Earbuds lack bass. Necklace earphone design not for everyone. Cable-free PC connection is awkward.

Awfully similar to Creative's ZEN Stone in looks, price, and performance, the Samsung YP-S2 is an excellent alternative to the iPod shuffle.

First there was the Creative ZEN Stone, and now we have the "Pebble," Samsung's YP-S2 (also known as the S2). Samsung itself rates the S2's battery life at a modest 13 hours of playback.
