Samsung YA-DS100 Speaker Dock for the Z5

By: Grahm Skee on July 11, 2006 4:26 PM

The proprietary connection on the bottom of the Samsung Z5 was a good indication that there would be specific Z5 accessories in the future. The future is almost here and one of the first accessories to hit the shelves is a pair of speakers with this proprietary dock. The speaker dock will operate plugged into the wall or on the go with 3 AA batteries.

European retailer, Advanced MP3 Players will start selling this in the middle of August for 60GBP. There is no word of the official pricing or release for the US, but you could probably expect to find it for under the hundred dollar mark once it hits state side. More pics below...

What do you suggest to power it in the U.S? Sound is awesome even though I'm running it on batteries. Would a converter be practical?

connor on December 30, 2006 9:27 AM

Not quite sure. I sugest that you try a converter, otherwise I would stick with batteries. If you can get hold of re-chargeable batteries you will save some time, effort, and money. But try a converter first.

I cannot find one in stock anywhere - if anyone knows a store that has them in stock, then I would be grateful if you emailed me a link:

I live in Holland and there was only one store on the internet that sold it, so I was about to buy it.. but then they said they ran out of them TEMPORARELY.. But now they don't sell it anymore :(
I'm so sad and I can't find it anywhere else!

katie on July 20, 2007 10:41 AM

hello i think it looks relly good but how does it charge ??

Julian on September 11, 2007 1:11 PM

this product was discontinued a while ago - Samsung confirmed this with me.

No idea why.

connor on September 12, 2007 8:29 AM

katie - whilst running, the docking station will charge and play ur Z5 at the same time if necessary. Its charge more wen not playing though. Takes about 1-2hours to charge fully from empty.

SanDisk Sansa Clip

The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

Phonak Audéo PFE

Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely.
