Hi Jeremy, a lot of people with keyboards are not really keyboard players, but players of other instruments. Whatever instrument you play it is still useful to play a keyboard, even badly, as it's easier to understand the structure of music on a keyboard than other instruments. But also being able to make backing to play along with is useful especially if it can be transposed and have the tempo changed. Would you consider doing a video on best keyboards for players of other instruments?

I own a SX600 a bit more than one year and still not discover every function it has, LF oscilators, compressors, efects over the accomp tracks, multi efecct in main voices, the sample pads, i'm still learning and very happy with it :)
TLDR: If you want to learn to play piano get the DGX, you won't get bored with it. Tired to hear piano? Switch to guitars or mandolin and practice your song or your exercises. Got a laptop? Connect it to the DGX and get more voices or use computer like Jeremy says. Now you know how to play piano and want to play for others or with friends? Get the PSR. Honestly the DGX is the best bang-for-buck trade you'll get, make sure to get the 3 pedal unit, the best digital piano option.
The DGX670 was really the big upgrade that was needed from the 660 and Yamaha just nailed it! It's crazy how even Yamaha's high end keyboards are so friendly to use to all types of players, including Beginners!
Hellooo, I will finally be able to grab a dgx670 as my first digital piano 😃 but can't pick a color 😮💨 Does the white turn yellow over time? Cause its plastic (that I remember). Or will it be ok if I play only in a dark room? 🤔
I just ordered the Kawai ES110 in white from your "Recommended Pianos" list, Jeremy. It looks wonderful! The ES120 is coming out, but is unproven and seems to offer little to justify the $200 US higher price. I think the ES120 doesnt even come with the amazing foot pedal of the ES110. Thank you for all your video!!! 🎹
The drums are incredibly accurate and realistic on the Yamaha PSR SX 600. The drum "breaks" and patterns sync up perfectly with the styles. Yamaha is by far the leader with that function. There is so much you can do with the SX 600, it would take multiple videos just to show all the functions. It is my favorite keyboard.
Great video comparing two specific keyboards. Both great, with contrasting features and capabilities with advantages and drawbacks for different needs, purposes, and preferences I don't need to mention, because you have addressed those well. But the DGX-670 has twice as much polyphony, the awesome piano room and BT, albeit only audio, while the SX600 has more voice tones, louder speakers, pro audio connections and more portability. Key action is subject to preference, as you stated. That an abbreviated recap of your review that I can recall. They both sound great. Personally, I think the PSR-EW425 is the best choice for myself instead of these two choices, with the 76 key middle point woukd be the best for me. If you are getting to break the $1000 USD barrier, I eould spend more for my three top Roland V-Combo VR-09B a great sounding, versatile pro performance keyboard with a looper if I remember right, and sliders for optimal real tine control gor organs abd more, and still has the V Beam if it's useful to you, sonething thst I believe has been phased out on the later keyboards. The RD 88 stage piano with speakers, with speakers abd vast tone capability and expandability with the Zen Core sound platform. And the phenomenal Fantom-07, the 76 key version with a streamlined, lighter compact abd portable version of the flagship original Fantom flagship, at a much more affordable price point. But the bottom line is what's right for you. I am not completely sold on the auto arrangers, though the PSR-EW425, Casio CT-S500/CT-S1000V would be my favorites, now the Yamaha out of the bunch for all those things I mentioned recently. It is the best alternative for the 76 key Roland Fantom-07 at 1/3 the price. And my Go:Keys has an innovative variation of the auto arranger, with it phrase loop functions. It has sone live performance drawbacks, primarily fast tone selection access. But like the PSS-A50, if you can master all the capabilities, they are phenomenal keyboards for the price. Likewise for the Yamaha reface series, with addresses 4 specific keyboard genres in a compact format. Great for on the go and traveling playing or compact home production studio. But I am still blown away by the CT-S1 for its sounds, features, simplicity. As previously stated, it is hard to improve upon, except what I mentioned that would make it a great, portable budget pro level performance keyboard with a pitch bend wheel, ¼" stereo audio out and headphoe jacks, and metal speaker grilles. It's that good if the 61 voice tones suffice. Maybe 128 note polyphony with be a great bonus for a CT-S2 or maybe just call it the CT-S1 Pro. Casio, are you listening? I bet that would sell better than any non auto arranger keyboard at maybe $300, or $350 with the 128 note polyphony. As far as headphones, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x is a great one at about $180, or their more affordable ATH-M20x/M30x/M40x starting at $50. Another great headphone at $100 is the Sennheiser HD-280. Sound quality and volume output with two main concerns, along with looks and comfort. But the main problem is quality of materials amd construction. Cheap krinkly comfortable leatherette earcup pads fall apart in tiny pieces from perspiration or other wear fashion tips, or the pads and cushioning within tear, fall apart, or disintegrate or discolored fade, discolor and such over time. I also have an expensive Roland set with those ear cup coverings that made a mess with tiny black particles, but this one has nice cloth pads underneath that covering. So I was able to peel all of the debris off, abdvit still works great. The AKG K20 and many others I have in storage fell apart discolor, build up films on earpads and fall apart over time. That K20 used to be several times the price today, but the K-44 I would buy again. They are still affordable and sturdy, and sound great for $50. Proof positive, you can get great instruments and at affordable prices, even used, if in good condition.
Very cool. I like them both. Even the DGX sounds like a tyros. I’ve taken a tyros 4 style (Discohands) and loaded it into the dgx and it sounded amazing. Yep Yamaha nailed it.😎😎
Great comparison video Jeremy. I think an interesting comparison would be between the Yamaha PSR-E473 vs the SX600 given the later is roughly 3 times the cost. What is the benefit in spending the difference? You mentioned in you comparison not out growing your choice. Given the portability of these two keyboards is the sound of the piano voice in the SX600 worth the extra cost and is the PSR-E473 even suitable for playing in a small venue? P.S. Your videos are enjoyable to watch!!
I've had the DGX670 for a year now. I'm really enjoying it, Yamaha nailed this update. The piano sounds are excellent and the rhythms sound great. Amplification is sufficient for playing at home and learning. In presentations, you need to plug in speakers. Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to take it to a presentation due to the weight, so I'm also looking to buy the SX600 and keep the DGX at home.
I gave up hoping you'd cover the Roland E-A7 (which I currently own), figuring that if you ever intended to tackle that one you would've done it already, so clearly that's not happening. Instead, now I'm waiting for you to get into the more recent models in this category, particularly the Korg Pa5x model.
I can't keep track of which piano you're talking about because they're both a jumble of letters. It would help if text with the model was on the video (maybe in 2 colors). Thanks for the reviews, we are lucky to have a lot of good choices these days!
I think I like the DGX 670 more than SX600 because the difference is the keys. I've played piano at church and their 88 keys confuses me where the center C is if I had the 61 key. I prefer the 670 for realistic piano feel. The variations that I'm happy Yamaha 670 is the 4 variations vs 1 variations such as the DGX 230. Ever get frustrated with 1 variation you're trying to do half fill and you have to press is twice every time and it messes you up? Yea I know that feeling. That is why 4 is perfect. 1 intro and 1 ending? Is fine with me.
Thanks for another good review. There is a hole in the Yamaha portable piano range, and the DGX-670 would fill that OK if it weren't so heavy, and if it had lineout sockets. I don't rate the GHS action highly for playing rapid arpeggios, jazz licks and so on, but if you need a home studio instrument, and touch sensitivity is more important than agility, the DGX-670 is fantastic. It punches way above its price in functionality and sound quality. I can't comment about the other keyboard reviewed since I'm only into pianos. Jeremy can you confirm whether the speaker cancel on the headphone socket of the DGX-670 can be defeated? That would be very useful for recording and for occasional gigging.
Jeremy, do you have any suspicions or inside info whether Yamaha is coming out with a successor to the DGX670, perhaps a 680, any time soon? I see all the retailers have the 670 on sale, and I want to get one but I also wonder if this means a new one is coming with some improvements. I'd love to see matte keys and a touch screen (liek the SX700 & 900 & Genos), and more line outs. I'm struggling with whether to 'wait and see', or get the 670 while it's on sale.
Great comparison Jeremy! 2 questions if you don't mind: are the keys on the SX600 "true" full size? (are they 165mm octave width like a piano or 159-160mm like most "full-size" synth action keyboards? I have a EW425 which is 159, as are all the E series, and I have a DGX that is 165 like all digital pianos. My other question; well suggestion is can you compare the E473/EW425 to the SX600? Is the SX series worth the extra $? Thanks!
Some spec modifications I wish Yamaha to have on DGX670: Features to add - most of them require just minor change and won't cost a lot 1. L/R line out jacks - at least add a setting option that allows the internal speakers to keep sounding while the phones output is being used. 2. Add an option to turn all 16 buttons underneath the screen into registration buttons while the system is in MAIN screen 3. Give the encoder wheel an assignable function (e.g. cutoff frequency of LPF filter or cross-fade between MAIN and LAYER part) while the system is in MAIN screen 4. User-defined lower and upper keyboard range for all three parts - No limitations like "2 parts for right hand and 1 part for left hand". Features to simplify or remove - not so essential but cost a lot 1. Remove all wireless/bluetooth/app features - Pro musicians won't love these toy-like functions. 2. Remove full-color screen and fancy UI graphics - Keyboards make sounds, not pictures. Monochrome LCD screen from PSR-S670 or MoXF will work just as well. 3. Release a "Lite" version with 76 waterfall semi-weighted keys and no speakers - More lightweighted and easier to carry between venues.
Hi! Thanks for all the great videos! I just got my DGX-670 today and it's great but one thing worries me a bit: is it normal for every B key to have a scratching sound, like there is a bit of friction when it's being depressed? Thanks!
Hi Jeremy, a very great review! I understand the SX is a more general keyboard and the DGX is more for piano players. Which keyboard in this price range would be the best for lovers of pop organ? Is there something more dedicated to organ music (both European and American organs) or is the more general SX here the only option?
I have the 670, and while I think it’s a good digital piano, it does lack some good features found on the 600. I fully upgraded my 670 with the stand and 3 pedal unit. The 3 pedal unit IMO is a must have if you really want to get the full potential of the 670 because various functions are accessible via those pedals. The 670 for example has no modulation wheel, but that can be assigned if you have the pedal unit. What I find odd is how Yamaha has now majorly limited access to the XG voice set. You cannot select XG voices within the Legacy category anymore. Some of those XG voices are actually pretty nice too. Where this is an issue for me is that the preset alto sax voice on the 670 is awful for solo work. The much better alto sax is within the XG sounds, but those are locked out, and only accessible via style recording and editing (which has its own issues as well). The 600 is honestly the better choice if weighted keys aren’t necessary for your needs. It’s a much more capable board for song composition. I’ve been considering selling my 670 and buying the 600. I already have a great weighted controller in my studio that I use with a DAW.
I am thinking of sell my sx600 to get a 670 as I begin to play some piano pieces. But I really like something specially on 600 ex. the fabulous free play style and I am not sure if the keybed on 670 is good enough. I am hesitating.
I own the 515 and just orderered the dgx.... played the dgx in the store.... the 515 has a wooden key and a heavy! Action.... the dgx has a plastic key and lighter action....the 515 is more for piano players....the dgx is a bit of both worlds.... late reaction....I know.😉
Nice video. i find that some Korg PA kayboard very hard to find right now. I remind that you said that the PA300 is a great deal on this category. Do you know if PA300 still available ?
Sir please 🥺help me to pick the best beginner keyboard around $299 I am using my total savings to buy this, i am asking you because you are best in this field... My thought is Yamaha i500 and Casio ct x9000in which is best and anything should i consider around this price range? What is your solid choice in this range? I'll early waiting for your reply 😇
Hi Jeremy, could you also just hook up a usb cable and connect 2 instruments together and use the usb midi? so if you have a 88 key instrument, with a usb midi connection, could you just connect it with a usb cable and use the sounds of SX600 ?
Jeremy the goat. Have you taken a look at the Yamaha Piaggero np-12/32? It's a little bit of an older model, but it's the only 200$ Yamaha keyboard that focuses purely on the piano experience. I'd absolutely love a comparison with the Casiotone ct-s1. Either way, phenomenal video.
Hello Mr. Jeremy I bought the DGX 670 for Piano lesson and the ability to play style and other feature. I have costume made style files from southeast Asia which have no problem with PSR but not working with the DGX. Do you if there is a solustion? thank you
Hey Jeremy, I am not a piano player nor a good keyboard player so to say. Just barely good enough to bug my wife with noise I make. Originally a guitar, bass and drummer... But I would like to have a keyboard to make my own music and record them. When I say my own music what I mean is mostly electronic and new age type of music like Enya style relaxing and soft, or Enigma's Sadeness style rhythmic and more colorful music etc. But mostly electronic music so I need a lot of colorful sounds. In the past I've had the mistake to purchase complex keyboards and immediately returned them like Ysamaha Genos and Roland Fantom 7... After receiving them I thought I meed a 4 year degree from MIT to program those machines for 3 days in order to listen a 3 minute long song. I DON'T want to experience that ever again. I am looking simple to use keyboard with simple to understand and operate work flow and easy to record and create a song from the scratch in an hr. I mean at least the skeleton of the song in an hr and then complete it in a few hrs. Like I said I need a lot of electronic, spacey sounds, effects and expansion package loading capacity to customization ability etc. What do you recommend? I watched your PSR-E473 review and that made me wonder if that's a good choice but also I saw your SX600 video too and wanted to ask you if any of those good and why or do you recommend a different model?
Thanks for the great video. Could you please let me know if I can play the SX600 using karaoke songs in MP3 format? I mean, can I use the USB output or ...whatever to hear an MP3 song and accompany it with the sounds of the keyboard itself at the same time? Thanks for your time...
Jeremy, i need help. Pls. teach me how to record myself performing on the dgx 670 and recording its sound as well. I have an android phone and lots of cables and adapters. Thank you.
I bought a about 8 months ago a Dgx670: so heavy can not lift. Key board failed. Tones seemed out of tune. Will try SX600. I will you will try and use your link. Thank you for all the high quality videos.

I have had the DGX670 for the past year. I love it. Best keyboard I’ve ever had. Your reviews are right on.
DGX-670 is basically a recycled CVP-701, which is good because you can have a Clavinova-grade sound at a way more affordable price
TLDR: If you want to learn to play piano get the DGX, you won't get bored with it. Tired to hear piano? Switch to guitars or mandolin and practice your song or your exercises. Got a laptop? Connect it to the DGX and get more voices or use computer like Jeremy says.
Now you know how to play piano and want to play for others or with friends? Get the PSR.
Honestly the DGX is the best bang-for-buck trade you'll get, make sure to get the 3 pedal unit, the best digital piano option.
Does the DGX 670 support expansion packs?
The DGX670 was really the big upgrade that was needed from the 660 and Yamaha just nailed it!
It's crazy how even Yamaha's high end keyboards are so friendly to use to all types of players, including Beginners!

What about the drum on DGX 670. Is it on par with SX 600?
@@rpstate9974 yes, both the psr sx 600 and dgx 670 have the same drums
DGX 670 is far best in quality of sound & touch.
How do you compare a weighted keyboard and a non weighted key action keyboard?
Very good comparison video: you focused on every aspect!

The DGX is the best all round piano ever. I have since the first 88 non weigh keys. Sound quality, touch quality, easy to use and transportation.
Very cool. I like them both. Even the DGX sounds like a tyros. I’ve taken a tyros 4 style (Discohands) and loaded it into the dgx and it sounded amazing. Yep Yamaha nailed it.😎😎

I own the dgx670 and yes,
You can have the built-in speaker's on or off when using the headphone jack. 👍

I had the YPG-235 for ten years. The DGX-670 has about 88 keys.
so beautiful , i hope someday i can get one of that
Dgx670... can't beat this
I have it , the DGX ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻💪 n the piano studio sounds asworme
I just noticed that they took out the Arppegiator on the DGX-670
Some spec modifications I wish Yamaha to have on DGX670:
Features to add - most of them require just minor change and won't cost a lot
1. L/R line out jacks - at least add a setting option that allows the internal speakers to keep sounding while the phones output is being used.
2. Add an option to turn all 16 buttons underneath the screen into registration buttons while the system is in MAIN screen
3. Give the encoder wheel an assignable function (e.g. cutoff frequency of LPF filter or cross-fade between MAIN and LAYER part) while the system is in MAIN screen
4. User-defined lower and upper keyboard range for all three parts - No limitations like "2 parts for right hand and 1 part for left hand".
Features to simplify or remove - not so essential but cost a lot
1. Remove all wireless/bluetooth/app features - Pro musicians won't love these toy-like functions.
2. Remove full-color screen and fancy UI graphics - Keyboards make sounds, not pictures. Monochrome LCD screen from PSR-S670 or MoXF will work just as well.
3. Release a "Lite" version with 76 waterfall semi-weighted keys and no speakers - More lightweighted and easier to carry between venues.
Hi! Thanks for all the great videos! I just got my DGX-670 today and it's great but one thing worries me a bit: is it normal for every B key to have a scratching sound, like there is a bit of friction when it's being depressed? Thanks!
Hi Jeremy, a very great review! I understand the SX is a more general keyboard and the DGX is more for piano players. Which keyboard in this price range would be the best for lovers of pop organ? Is there something more dedicated to organ music (both European and American organs) or is the more general SX here the only option?
The SX is better , but the CK-61 has even more real-time organ controls.
I have the 670, and while I think it’s a good digital piano, it does lack some good features found on the 600. I fully upgraded my 670 with the stand and 3 pedal unit. The 3 pedal unit IMO is a must have if you really want to get the full potential of the 670 because various functions are accessible via those pedals. The 670 for example has no modulation wheel, but that can be assigned if you have the pedal unit. What I find odd is how Yamaha has now majorly limited access to the XG voice set. You cannot select XG voices within the Legacy category anymore. Some of those XG voices are actually pretty nice too. Where this is an issue for me is that the preset alto sax voice on the 670 is awful for solo work. The much better alto sax is within the XG sounds, but those are locked out, and only accessible via style recording and editing (which has its own issues as well). The 600 is honestly the better choice if weighted keys aren’t necessary for your needs. It’s a much more capable board for song composition. I’ve been considering selling my 670 and buying the 600. I already have a great weighted controller in my studio that I use with a DAW.
I am thinking of sell my sx600 to get a 670 as I begin to play some piano pieces. But I really like something specially on 600 ex. the fabulous free play style and I am not sure if the keybed on 670 is good enough. I am hesitating.
By 600 do you mean SX600 or DGX600?
Can someone weigh in - dgx 670 vs p515? For learning And authentic sound/feel to Yamaha grand
I own the 515 and just orderered the dgx.... played the dgx in the store.... the 515 has a wooden key and a heavy! Action.... the dgx has a plastic key and lighter action....the 515 is more for piano players....the dgx is a bit of both worlds.... late reaction....I know.😉
I found a good cheap one with very nice paino is Yamaha mx61 it's old but it's good for 900
Mr Jeremy You Should Review The Yamaha P515
Nice video. i find that some Korg PA kayboard very hard to find right now. I remind that you said that the PA300 is a great deal on this category. Do you know if PA300 still available ?
Sir please 🥺help me to pick the best beginner keyboard around $299
I am using my total savings to buy this, i am asking you because you are best in this field...
My thought is Yamaha i500 and Casio ct x9000in which is best and anything should i consider around this price range?
What is your solid choice in this range?
I'll early waiting for your reply 😇
Hi Jeremy,
could you also just hook up a usb cable and connect 2 instruments together and use the usb midi? so if you have a 88 key instrument, with a usb midi connection, could you just connect it with a usb cable and use the sounds of SX600 ?
I choose the DGX because of the 88 weighted keys haha🎹🎶
Hi M-B E430AMG! 🎵🎵
@@Instrumental-Covers hello Instrumental Covers. I stand by my comment. For me if it doesn't have 88 weighted keys then I'm not interested haha🎹🎶
@@Instrumental-Covers how's your DGX670 holding up?🎹🎶
i have addictive keys and CFX grand by garritan and i lovee the CFX grand piano more.
I am so confused...PLZ can you specify if some keyboards you are reviewed are "oriental music" compatible?
Jeremy the goat.
Have you taken a look at the Yamaha Piaggero np-12/32? It's a little bit of an older model, but it's the only 200$ Yamaha keyboard that focuses purely on the piano experience. I'd absolutely love a comparison with the Casiotone ct-s1.
Either way, phenomenal video.
Hello Mr. Jeremy
I bought the DGX 670 for Piano lesson and the ability to play style and other feature. I have costume made style files from southeast Asia which have no problem with PSR but not working with the DGX. Do you if there is a solustion? thank you
Which yamaha synthesizer do you recommend up to 500-550$?
Can yamaha DGX import sound piano from other keybord? I mean if yamaha can play a piano sound from roland etc..
Nice comparison 😇
Hey Jeremy, I am not a piano player nor a good keyboard player so to say. Just barely good enough to bug my wife with noise I make. Originally a guitar, bass and drummer... But I would like to have a keyboard to make my own music and record them. When I say my own music what I mean is mostly electronic and new age type of music like Enya style relaxing and soft, or Enigma's Sadeness style rhythmic and more colorful music etc. But mostly electronic music so I need a lot of colorful sounds. In the past I've had the mistake to purchase complex keyboards and immediately returned them like Ysamaha Genos and Roland Fantom 7... After receiving them I thought I meed a 4 year degree from MIT to program those machines for 3 days in order to listen a 3 minute long song. I DON'T want to experience that ever again. I am looking simple to use keyboard with simple to understand and operate work flow and easy to record and create a song from the scratch in an hr. I mean at least the skeleton of the song in an hr and then complete it in a few hrs. Like I said I need a lot of electronic, spacey sounds, effects and expansion package loading capacity to customization ability etc.
What do you recommend? I watched your PSR-E473 review and that made me wonder if that's a good choice but also I saw your SX600 video too and wanted to ask you if any of those good and why or do you recommend a different model?
What's the PA System that you recommend for the DGX67O, plz?
Thanks for the great video. Could you please let me know if I can play the SX600 using karaoke songs in MP3 format? I mean, can I use the USB output or ...whatever to hear an MP3 song and accompany it with the sounds of the keyboard itself at the same time? Thanks for your time...
Unfortunately, the SX 600 cannot read MP3 files, only WAW files
Jeremy, i need help. Pls. teach me how to record myself performing on the dgx 670 and recording its sound as well. I have an android phone and lots of cables and adapters. Thank you.
Super👌. Pozdrawiam🙂
If only there was a DGX-970 (88 key equivalent to PSR-SX900).
can you please make a review to roland xps 10, specialy for intermediate and church use.
You’re the best ✌️
Can you do a video of nylon guitar and sax and string of this keyboard please
is it possible to load up monophonic synth voices in these keyboards?
Question how's the 670 vs arterial keylab mkII 88 keys?
Psr-sx600 is the best keyboard ever !
The mystery is why they didn't made a true 88 heavy weighted key version of the SX-600 instead of the GDX-670 : This would be more logical I guess ...
Can you review the SL Numa X GT?
DGX670 has 20mb user memory. For what is used that?
User styles, registrations.
good video
Try Yamaha m61 seq keyboard cheap sounds good it's a cheap montage for 900$
Hi Jeremy
Any update on the update to the P125?
*welcome jeremy see, i love your chanal more*
You'll regret we didn't buy any of these keyboards 🤔
another great video as always keep up the good work
(by the way can you pin me please )
???🎹🎶
I bought a about 8 months ago a Dgx670: so heavy can not lift. Key board failed. Tones seemed out of tune. Will try SX600. I will you will try and use your link. Thank you for all the high quality videos.
