Yamaha has been nailing acoustic and electric guitar sounds ever since they released the Motif ES way back in 2003. No other manufacturer comes remotely close with the possible exception of Roland.... But even then Roland doesn't win!
I was just thinking about a portable 88 key keyboard, for the weighted keys, and was looking at both of these. If I get one, now I know which. I just wish yamaha would quit underpowering their speaker systems. Thanks always for your fair and impartial reviews/comparisons.
Thank you so much Jeremy! Just before this video I was about to cancel my preorder of the DGX to get the Korg. Your video convinced me to wait the extra time for the DGX. Now that my DGX670 is here, I can’t thank you more! It is an exceptional machine for the price! And your description was spot on!
In terms of the sound quality, features and functions and abilities, the Yamaha DGX-670 wins, but as far as the ease of use is concerned, the Korg XE-20 wins. However, my vote goes to the DGX-670. Love the high-quality piano voices and the auto accompaniment rhythms.
I have had an order in for a DGX since you first promoted it. I hope it ships pretty soon as my life expectancy is not that great. I knew the DGX was going to carve the Korg, which does sound pretty good. Unfortunately the Korg's keybed gets poor reliability reviews. The DGX just sounds great. It seems hard to beat for the price.
Another great video, Jeremy. The Korg sounds good, but other than their tube driven Stage piano, the brand has never been my favorite. The Yamaha is light years ahead in so many ways. Such a great keyboard at the price point. The much more expensive Roland RD 88 eould still be my first choice, but the DGX 670 still holds it's own with the sounds and many unique features and overall appearance, build, design, and user interface.
Funny so many people say how advanced the Yamaha DGX 670 is but are people not realising it's still not as advanced as the high end Yamaha CVP line clavinovas from 2004. I've been waiting all these years for a product like the 670 to come out to finally mean I have a fully weighted 88 keys with some of the really old clavinova features. If you wanted something like this is the past the best you could do is get a PSR SX900 and midi control it with a weighted 88 stage piano... which is massive effort. I can't believe how slow all the manufacturers are to have made something like this.
Good boy! - Very well done, detailed and thorough review. For the DGX-670, the only flaw is the weight! For the rest there are no comparisons, from what has emerged in the descriptions, about the possibilities of the two instruments.
When I evaluate any keyboard, Jeremy's reviews weigh heavily in my decision process as I trust him to provide accurate and unbiased viewpoints, Thx Jeremy!
Great review. I think Korg is going to revamp with updated features to match Yamaha. If they keep their performance integration advantages they will get my money.
Hi Jeremy, thumb up 👍 for the DGX670. I strongly hope that Casio would issue a keyboard or a piano as well designed as the DGX670 but with the AiX chip sounds. I’m sure we’ll have nice instruments hitting the market in the coming years. Have a nice Sunday 😎
Hi Jeremy, as usual an interesting and in fact valuable review. One thing I found myself wishing for was for you to have taken a selection of the most useful voices and play the same piece of music on each. For example, you open with playing the piano on each, but with highly-contrasted music, so it was hard to decide which sounded better (of course these were just as an opener and not intended as detailed comparisons). May I be so bold as to add a few comments that may be helpful to a newcomer. You mention that there is a significant difference between the 'feel' or 'weight' of the actions. This, as you know but a beginner may not, is common in even the best acoustic pianos and, as you say, is a matter of personal choice. Although essentially implicit in your closing remarks, to the less experienced buyer, don't be deceived by the number of voices or of styles. (Using random figures) 600 voices on one keyboard and 1000 on another is unimportant. You are unlikely to ever need either quantity, and as Jeremy states, it's the quality of those voices and the flexibility the keyboard provides in using them which is very much more important. Similar observations apply to styles. Then don't ignore the other features mentioned, such as ease of accessing parameters, versatility in recording options etc. - all are important in a piano that is also an arranger keyboard. [Again Jeremy, p;ease forgive the intrusion of these additional comments to what is not only an excellent review but also an unbiased one.]
Hello Jeremy, WOW, you made it. Still the best videos comparison. My choice was made from your earlier videos of the DGX 670. So I bought mine yesterday and they'll deliver it next week. Have been very lucky to get one so quickly in Québec, Canada. Now, I'm settle for a long time with that DGX and my Casio CTX5000. But I will continue to follow you, I cannot take the chance to loose something. Many Thanks. JP
I bought my DGX-670 in Québec also, 2 weeks ago, but I still watch your videos!. What sold me is that in one video (DGX-670 vs FP-30X I think) you say something like 'Yamaha is years ahead, it will take many years for the competition to catch up if they ever do'. You were talking about voices. Keep up the good work!
Ey! 13:19 is 'God Will Make a Way' by Don Moen! Hahaha! Awesome choice of song! You are the only one I watched, of all the popular TH-cam reviewers for synthesizers and stage pianos, etc., that used a Christian song as a song sample. Because of that, not only you get a 'Like!' (not that it matters much, I think) but I also hit 'Subscribe!' I have already been eyeing DGX670 as my first digital piano to buy this year, and now because of your great review about it I am more determined to buy it for my personal use, especially since I am a music minister at our church. Please keep up the excellent work, and God bless you always!
I at one point thought of going with the yamaha DGX 670 but the fact it's 46 pounds is a deal breaker for me I take my digital piano with me to lessons. I'm not sure about getting the korg xe20 or casio px s3000.or what I should get. I do want something with a really good steel string guitar patch I believe the korg xe20 has but the key noise concerns me.
Hello thanks very usefull review just one query I would like to use audacity (Daw software ) and scarlett-focysrite (sound interface ) and MIC ( AKG D5) to record and edit my music and vocal so can I do this on Yamaha DGX 670
My church is purchasing a DGX 670 and will be running it through the sound system. Is the earphone jack adaquate for that? The pastor and I love the sound but it's got to perform as a stage piano.
Unfortunately the dgx670 has mediocre speakers, but the worst thing is that it does not have a stereo output (L/R) for external speakers. This makes you doubt whether to buy or not buy.
That DGX-670 is a “sleeper”. Yamaha is majorly downplaying what they released, as I can only assume they’re staying mum about it to protect the upper line. That DGX is a full 88 key arranger workstation. The sequencer is 16 tracks with editing, voices can be edited, styles can be edited, and user styles created from scratch, plus it records audio. It’s like an 88 key S670 with improved sound and styles. I’ll be getting the DGX-670 with the 3 pedal unit when Sweetwater has them in stock. There is just really no comparison IMO, Yamaha has decimated Korg here. As usual.., great video Jeremy!
@@JeremySee I finally received my DGX-670 and I didn't need to break into Jeremy's house to "borrow" one. 😂 Oh, and the 670 is damn worth it, glad the guys at Kraft made no fuzz about returning the 660 I got first from them, the 6-month wait was really worth it in the end.
The bad thing about the dgx670 is that it does not have a stereo output (L and R) for external speakers, only a mono output for headphones and even worse, its integrated speakers are mediocre. I'd better go with the Roland fp60X piano despite having fewer options.
@@JeremySee Dang, jealous. The US is having supply issues then. Everyplace says it is still pre-order but Yamaha didn't seem to announce distinct region release dates.
Is it true that the yamaha has only the head phones output? How do you connect to a mixer ? and how can the performer listem on headphones in case he wants to while performing?
Hi from China! I was a piano player and am moving on to keyboards. I've been watching Jeremy's reviews for hours...QUESTION for all: given the same price (secondhand trade), should I purchase a brand new Yamaha psr-ew410 OR 3-year-old Roland kb5 OR 1-year-old Korg i3 workstation?
Hello Kenaz, please give a 2nd thought for Korg XE20. The keybed is not with satisfactory quality. I have XE20 for 5 months now but some of the keys already started making noise. I am not happy with the Keybed. If you are going to spend most of the time with piano playing you may consider Korg D1. It has very high quality keybed which Korg uses for their high end keyboard like Kronos. But keep in mind D1 doesn't have built in speakers.
The 670 will be available in the US in Spring of 2022. The Korg is available now, but Jeremy markets it anyway. I didn't know this, but Jeremy does market some keyboards that are available now.
Nevermind, I re-watched the video and misunderstood what you said. There is a mono output shared with the headphone port. Thanks for the detailed information!
The manual on page 97 or 98 depending on the language, shows that the output is 1/4 Stereo, if you want to add more technology, there is a bluetoot adapter that can be added and thus connect some good headphones without cables that bother you, at the same time. Raising the level of technology by purchasing accessories will raise the value of the instrument and its ease of use.
@@JeremySee If you remember our last debate under video where you presented Korg Wavestate and I said that Woody didn’t want to compare me sounds between Yamaha MODX and Yamaha PSR SX900. You said me probably because Yamaha is one of his sponsors and he didn’t want to offend Yamaha. Now I think it’s not the case (Yamaha is one of his sponsors but it’s not the reason) because after I saw that recently he compared sounds between new Korg Nautilus and Yamaha MODX not in one but in several different videos. Anyway as I said before, his presentations and comparisons are not informative as yours. For example here you talked about every aspect of both keyboards and as in all your presentations it’s easy to make decision which keyboard is better for you. BTW I’m considering buying Roland Jupiter XM, what do you think about it? I like it because it’s small, because I live in apartment not the house so it takes less space than Roland Jupiter X, just I’m a little worried about small keys. And what do you think about hardware vs software synths in music production? And if I may ask you why you don’t do more often videos about synths? I mean I like arranger keyboards and your channel is one of rare that is about arranger keyboards, just maybe sometimes you can make some exception like you did with Korg Waveste. But on the other hand, you know what is the best content for your channel. Anyway continue with good work! :))
The headphone jack on your DGX-670 is really “noisy”. All three of the Yamaha keyboards I bought recently I returned because of this issue. Why can’t a powerhouse company like Yamaha make a headphone jack that doesn’t hiss at any and all volumes? The sound coming from your KORG is crystal clear at the same price point! I played a KORG i3 last week, zero noise from the headphone jack.
@@JeremySee Ha! I bought the PSS-A50 last year after watching your reviews. On paper it’s super cool, but that ridiculous noise was a deal breaker. I actually returned it and got a second. Not only were their headphone jacks noisy, the onboard speaker hissed even with volume completely down to where you couldn’t hear anything from the keyboard besides noise. I ended up returning them both...disgusted.
I have an ancient DGX 220 with bangy and sticky keys (someone previous owner spilled something on it). Looking for a major upgrade on the piano sound most specifically, in the price range of the DGX series give or take. Thought about a Juno DS88 for synth stuff, but they're getting older now. I like doing a bit of everything so need a versatile keyboard. I use an M-Audio Keystation 88EI with FL Studio and Nexus 2 plugins also. I owned a Heintzman cabinet grand and nothing compares to the rich bassy tones of that acoustic piano. Looking for something rich, vibrant, and realistic.
Hi, how are you, Jeremy? It has those typical arranger functions: right 1, right 2 and left, and on the left I could use piano sounds superimposed on the accompaniment?
Hi Jeremy I heard that Yamaha DGX 670 has issue for the LCD screen... My friend bought DGX 600 and already twice replace the LCD screen... Jow about ukur opinion? Thanks before....
I am going to buy the keyboard in the USA, could you inform me if I can add voices to this model and how? I am 54 years old and I have not practiced for 35, I was enthusiastic and from your videos I know you know a lot, these voices can be integrated or used by usb memory ?. Thanks again for your time and clarity in the presentation.
My sx700 which is only 6 months old is stuck on the logo screen and I don't know what to do. Someone please give the solution.l came to know that many owners of this keyboard have the same problem.I think it has something to do with deleting item from favourites.
One trick I use for computers may work for you: Unplug the keyboard, remove anything that is plugged in it (including batteries if any), and push the power button and leave it pushed in for at least 60 seconds. Plug it back in and try it. Please let me know if it works. I have fixed many HP and Lenovo laptops this way, and I am convinced it may work for other electronic equipment as well.
Excellent comparison, Jeremy. I love the rich sounds of Yamaha, and the organic like analog sounds in this instruments. Korg is a good option too, in other range of products, IMO. The Dgx 670 is like my e463 with steroids hehe, I love it. Thank you, Jeremy for your honest reviews. A hug and greetings from 🗿Chile🇨🇱
Hi jerem ‘ and thanks for all this Nice advice/ !! Is there some thing équal to YAmaha but lighter my use is bars and coktails but i don’t want « bontempi sounds like » or heavy one !! I want midi file compatible , Nice sounds and Light one and modern style please no sounds low quality ! Keys 76 if possible !! I know I ask to much may be but do you have any idee!! Thanks and keep going man !!!
Excellent. Excellent! Once again Jeremy...you musical master......you have broke it down to where everyone can make a decision on what they want. Love the video.
Hello Jeremy, thank you very much for the comparison. I have Korg XE20 about a 5 months now. One thing I would like to share with all of you that the Keybed of XE20 is not quality one. Within 5 months time frame some of the keys already started making noise which I didn't expect. But speakers are excellent with very high quality sound. Thanks
The funny thing is, right now, XE20 is selling for HK$4,680 while DGX670 is HK$5,980, so now XE20 is closer in price to EW425, at least here. Maybe you can compare those two?
Hello Jeremy, Do you know of a video explaning the registration system (bank, memory, playlist) better than in the DGX 670 manuel. This section on the manuel is very confusing. Thanks for your wonderful work. JP
The bad thing about the dgx670 is that it does not have a stereo output (L and R) for external speakers, only a mono output for headphones and even worse, its integrated speakers are mediocre. I'd better go with the Roland fp60X piano despite having fewer options.
@@xarv368 Je l'ai essayé en magasin, alors si c'est pour jouer juste dans un cadre intime Ça va très bien. De plus ne peut on pas prendre des fils adaptateurs pour avoir la stéréo ?
Si vous recherchez un très bon son de piano avec un clavier assez léger, ce qui me plait personnellement, le DGX est très bien . Mais je n'ai pas essayé l'autre, mais les Rolands qu'il y avait en magasin ne me paraissait pas aussi convaincants
I finally got my DGX670 and really love it! However, I noticed that if I play an instrument with accompaniment the accompaniment overwhelms the instrument, especially the nylon guitar. And if I am playing a lot of notes very fast, some of them simply cut out. I don't get it. Also, the intro and endings on the accompaniment are extremely loud to the point of hurting my ears! I know I can probably adjust these things but thought it should come with proper volumes. I am wondering if anyone else is having these issues.
Pisses me more knowing that it probably cost them 10 cents to add a second 1/4" port for stereo outputs, but they decided not to. I bet you can add one yourself if you have some DIY skills, just some light drilling and soldering.
The manual on page 97 or 98 depending on the language, shows that the output is 1/4 Stereo, if you want to add more technology, there is a bluetoot adapter that can be added and thus connect some good headphones without cables that bother you, at the same time. Raising the level of technology by purchasing accessories will raise the value of the instrument and its ease of use.
A non issue. Mannys Music Brisbane supplied me a 3 metre stereo audio connection cable for $30 that has the mini stereo jack to plug into the headphone socket at the back of the DGX-670 keyboard and two 1/4” jacks to plug into each of my PreSonus stereo powered monitors and this works perfectly well and sounds fabulous, as on the keyboard menu options one can also select to also have the audio sounding from the internal speakers as well! >> 4 speakers audio sounds fabulous! Also, the fact that the DGX-670 has a mic input along with fab’ Yamaha vocal FX is a huge bonus plus feature! The DGX-670 Arranger home recorder keyboard is wonderful, and very enjoyable - especially with the two types of auto accompaniments: full accompaniment instruments, or, minimal accompaniment of only the bass guitar and drums & percussion instruments with each & every style! Fabulous value and fab’ features, it’s the best home digital piano 🎹 I have ever owned & played.
I would rather have a Yamaha S90ES it is so amazing with tons of layering, arpegiator fx and just way more, balanced hammer action with after touch, it's older but the I/O are numerous, I would have bought the order keyboard and have all of that with great piano sounds etc. What is similar to that model currently .. that one was really amazing for ease but tons of fx
Korg has never been known for good pianos. Yamaha, Roland, Kurzweil are much better. 256 note polyphony is so much richer than 128. I own 2 Yamahas, 2 Roland's, and 2 Korgs, so believe Me, lol. This DGX 670 has huge stereo speakers too. You don't always need an Amp, unless you're playing onstage with a band. For the money, the DGX 670 is AWESOME!!!
The bad thing about the dgx670 is that it does not have a stereo output (L and R) for external speakers, only a mono output for headphones and even worse, its integrated speakers are mediocre. I'd better go with the Roland fp60X piano despite having fewer options.
The edit at 1:59 made me think he was gonna break out into song. XD --That aside thanks for all of your reviews! They helped me pick out my practice keyboard a few months back. Edit: The Yamaha's interface in this vid looks like a mini DAW. That is so friggen cool.
Hi Jeremy! I truly enjoyed your comparison, and wonder if you know of a similarly priced keyboard with comparable features to the DGX, but not as wide of a body, and perhaps a bit lighter? I'd like to use it in my band, so portability is a large factor. I love the variation of sounds, but I'm thinking I may have to accept more limited features to find a setup I could use. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Absence of Left/mono and Right is a huge deal breaker for many. Also half the weight - really? I would go for xe20 or mx88. Can you compare xe20 with mx88 , would be an interesting one.
@@JeremySee Oh ok thanks for the suggestion. I like your channel as reviews are unbiassed. I own a Yamaha P45 88 keys. I previously owned a Korg PA 500 , but don’t want to buy a PA600/700/1000 because of its weight. I tried the ek50 in a musical shop and the sound was not rich enough.
Thanks for another great review Jeremy. In Europe, the XE20 is currently a bit cheaper than the DGX-670. And as you mention, it also has proper lineouts, more onboard sound power, and it weighs about half as much as the DGX-670. This makes it the versatile portable piano that Yamaha has entirely failed to produce in recent years - ever since they deleted the P-255. And the P-255 did not have any arranger features anyway. The only Yamaha pianos which compete with this Korg in terms of both connectivity and portability are the P-125 & P-121, and these are short on other features that we're looking at here. They are also stuck with the oudated GH action. IMO Yamaha digital piano sounds are unbeatable, nevertheless, a lot of players use the DGX-670 for controlling the Pianoteq virtual pianos. If I had to choose between these two digital pianos, the deciding factor would be the action. You say that the DGX-670's GH action is heavier (therefore more pianistic?) but I know that it is also sluggish. I wonder if can you play quick arpeggios securely on the XE20.
Hi Mike, as you know I have the DGX-670, but I have also played the Korg XE20. Its piano sounds are mediocre, I think you would be highly disappointed with that since you are used to the quality piano sounds of your P255. The styles are fine, but they are outdated. In fact, they are the styles of the old Korg PA60, which I bought back in 2000 and owned for many years. Yamaha styles are more refined. The Korg speaker system is really tiny, consisting of small oval speakers. The 18 watts per channel is just a number, don't expect anything amazing from it. The DGX-670 has a better speaker system, fuller and louder. I know the specs may seem to indicate otherwise, but I am familiar with both instruments in person. The proper line outs are not a relevant issue, as you can use a 1/4" stereo to two 1/8" mono cable, something I have done many times with the DGX-670 and DGX-660 (I owned the 660 before too). The one thing this Korg has over Yamaha is portability. I don't remember the XE20 action enough to give you feedback on it, but it didn't feel remarkable when I played it. The Yamaha is superior in many other aspects. The XE20 fails to provide the most basic feature it should have: good piano tone. Korg has mediocre piano sounds. You probably remember the M50, Triton, etc, workstations: they all had mediocre piano sounds compared to Yamaha. They haven't made a whole lot of progress in their digital pianos, I played the LP180 and B2 as well and they are weak. One thing the Korg digital pianos have is a quiet action, similar to the Roland FP90X in the sense they make little noise. But that comes at the price of feeling sluggish... so, I doubt you would find those actions any better than the GH in the Yamaha's.

I bought a DGX 650 in 2015, and I think I did the best choise for this price!! I adore Yamaha's pianos!!
If you close your eyes and listen to the acoustic guitar sound from the DGX, you won't tell that it actually comes from a keyboard! 😯🤯
Yup. Super-articulation is good.
Yamaha has been nailing acoustic and electric guitar sounds ever since they released the Motif ES way back in 2003. No other manufacturer comes remotely close with the possible exception of Roland.... But even then Roland doesn't win!
Another company's is a complete joke. Just like the Steinway setting on my acoustic banjo.
There's no doubt!!! This comparison put in evidence in a higher step Dgx670, of better quality in all sides!!!!!
I was just thinking about a portable 88 key keyboard, for the weighted keys, and was looking at both of these. If I get one, now I know which. I just wish yamaha would quit underpowering their speaker systems. Thanks always for your fair and impartial reviews/comparisons.
DGX 670 definitely win, since it incorporated top-level PSR-S sounds and features while the XE20 is based on the mid-level EK50
Thank you so much Jeremy! Just before this video I was about to cancel my preorder of the DGX to get the Korg. Your video convinced me to wait the extra time for the DGX. Now that my DGX670 is here, I can’t thank you more! It is an exceptional machine for the price! And your description was spot on!
I'm happy to help. 😉
Came for the comparison, stayed for the music 🎶
Great video as always, Jeremy.
Thank you for your kind compliments.

Do you recommend it to an intermediate level pianist?

Please make a px s3000 vs dgx 670
Your reviews are always so interesting and colorful to watch. Thanks for sharing you valuable opinion.
Thank you for your kind compliments.
Hi Jeremy, thumb up 👍 for the DGX670. I strongly hope that Casio would issue a keyboard or a piano as well designed as the DGX670 but with the AiX chip sounds. I’m sure we’ll have nice instruments hitting the market in the coming years. Have a nice Sunday 😎

Hello Jeremy,
WOW, you made it. Still the best videos comparison. My choice was made from your earlier videos of the
DGX 670. So I bought mine yesterday and they'll deliver it next week. Have been very lucky to get one so
quickly in Québec, Canada. Now, I'm settle for a long time with that DGX and my Casio CTX5000. But I will continue to follow you, I cannot take the chance to loose something. Many Thanks. JP
Have fun!
I bought my DGX-670 in Québec also, 2 weeks ago, but I still watch your videos!. What sold me is that in one video (DGX-670 vs FP-30X I think) you say something like 'Yamaha is years ahead, it will take many years for the competition to catch up if they ever do'. You were talking about voices. Keep up the good work!
Ey! 13:19 is 'God Will Make a Way' by Don Moen! Hahaha! Awesome choice of song! You are the only one I watched, of all the popular TH-cam reviewers for synthesizers and stage pianos, etc., that used a Christian song as a song sample. Because of that, not only you get a 'Like!' (not that it matters much, I think) but I also hit 'Subscribe!' I have already been eyeing DGX670 as my first digital piano to buy this year, and now because of your great review about it I am more determined to buy it for my personal use, especially since I am a music minister at our church. Please keep up the excellent work, and God bless you always!
Wondering to buy the DGX-650, 660 or 670 to have at home with my dads...
I at one point thought of going with the yamaha DGX 670 but the fact it's 46 pounds is a deal breaker for me I take my digital piano with me to lessons. I'm not sure about getting the korg xe20 or casio px s3000.or what I should get. I do want something with a really good steel string guitar patch I believe the korg xe20 has but the key noise concerns me.
Hello thanks very usefull review just one query I would like to use audacity (Daw software ) and scarlett-focysrite (sound interface ) and MIC ( AKG D5) to record and edit my music and vocal so can I do this on Yamaha DGX 670
tanks for tour time to explain us. From Colombia, could compare DGX 670 vs. Roland P60X, have a very good day.
Long awaited video korg vs yamaha piano
Jeremy, love your channel. So much info on so many toys... I'm addicted
My church is purchasing a DGX 670 and will be running it through the sound system. Is the earphone jack adaquate for that? The pastor and I love the sound but it's got to perform as a stage piano.
Any update on this? How does it do?
Any update on this, did it work out for you guys?
whats the first piece u were playing Jeremy. Sound familiar.
Great review Jeremy,just pulled the trigger on the dgx670,hope the onboard speakers sound really good.
Unfortunately the dgx670 has mediocre speakers, but the worst thing is that it does not have a stereo output (L/R) for external speakers. This makes you doubt whether to buy or not buy.
I love my DGX-650, and this is just a successor to it.
That DGX-670 is a “sleeper”. Yamaha is majorly downplaying what they released, as I can only assume they’re staying mum about it to protect the upper line. That DGX is a full 88 key arranger workstation. The sequencer is 16 tracks with editing, voices can be edited, styles can be edited, and user styles created from scratch, plus it records audio. It’s like an 88 key S670 with improved sound and styles. I’ll be getting the DGX-670 with the 3 pedal unit when Sweetwater has them in stock. There is just really no comparison IMO, Yamaha has decimated Korg here. As usual.., great video Jeremy!
Thank you for your kind compliments.
@@JeremySee I finally received my DGX-670 and I didn't need to break into Jeremy's house to "borrow" one. 😂
Oh, and the 670 is damn worth it, glad the guys at Kraft made no fuzz about returning the 660 I got first from them, the 6-month wait was really worth it in the end.
The bad thing about the dgx670 is that it does not have a stereo output (L and R) for external speakers, only a mono output for headphones and even worse, its integrated speakers are mediocre. I'd better go with the Roland fp60X piano despite having fewer options.
@@xarv368 Ça n'existe pas les adaptateurs pour ça ?
When will you be doing a comparison of the Roland FP E50 vs Yamaha DGX670
great videos !!! awesome review!! keep up the good work
But when does the Yamaha release? It isn't out yet!
Loads of stock in East Asia. You can walk into any shop And pick one up here.
@@JeremySee Dang, jealous. The US is having supply issues then. Everyplace says it is still pre-order but Yamaha didn't seem to announce distinct region release dates.
Thanks for covering a lot of ground here. Much appreciated.
The Yamaha GHS keys are way to light. I love heavier fill.
Однозначно DGX -670 👍👍☝ Супер.
Hi Jeremy, sorry for a different question please. Could u help me what would be your choice to buy Korg Kross2-88 or Korg Krome EX 88 ? Thanks
Is it true that the yamaha has only the head phones output? How do you connect to a mixer ? and how can the performer listem on headphones in case he wants to while performing?
Sir can u please tl me the song name which u hv played on yamaha.... starting.... plzz
Yamaha's Super Articulation is just unbeatable
I can't believe how they could include it in their budget PSR E373!
Indeed!
what do you think about the very old px560m from casio ?
Hi from China! I was a piano player and am moving on to keyboards. I've been watching Jeremy's reviews for hours...QUESTION for all: given the same price (secondhand trade), should I purchase a brand new Yamaha psr-ew410 OR 3-year-old Roland kb5 OR 1-year-old Korg i3 workstation?
I understand that the strength of the key can be adjusted. I don't know if he tried.
Please remind the name of the first composition played at 0:29?
vous l avez trouvé depuis ? lol
Thanks sir for video
Im going to buy korg...this month
Hello Kenaz, please give a 2nd thought for Korg XE20. The keybed is not with satisfactory quality. I have XE20 for 5 months now but some of the keys already started making noise. I am not happy with the Keybed. If you are going to spend most of the time with piano playing you may consider Korg D1. It has very high quality keybed which Korg uses for their high end keyboard like Kronos. But keep in mind D1 doesn't have built in speakers.
The 670 will be available in the US in Spring of 2022. The Korg is available now, but Jeremy markets it anyway. I didn't know this, but Jeremy does market some keyboards that are available now.
Wow, that's mighty early for them to be taking pre-orders.
you didn't get his sarcasm. 😉
Wait...so the Yamaha DGX 670 doesn't have an audio output option and can't be used with an external sound system?
Nevermind, I re-watched the video and misunderstood what you said. There is a mono output shared with the headphone port. Thanks for the detailed information!
The manual on page 97 or 98 depending on the language, shows that the output is 1/4 Stereo, if you want to add more technology, there is a bluetoot adapter that can be added and thus connect some good headphones without cables that bother you, at the same time. Raising the level of technology by purchasing accessories will raise the value of the instrument and its ease of use.
Good video Jeremy, as always!
I appreciate your kind compliments.
@@JeremySee
If you remember our last debate under video where you presented Korg Wavestate and I said that Woody didn’t want to compare me sounds between Yamaha MODX and Yamaha PSR SX900. You said me probably because Yamaha is one of his sponsors and he didn’t want to offend Yamaha. Now I think it’s not the case (Yamaha is one of his sponsors but it’s not the reason) because after I saw that recently he compared sounds between new Korg Nautilus and Yamaha MODX not in one but in several different videos. Anyway as I said before, his presentations and comparisons are not informative as yours. For example here you talked about every aspect of both keyboards and as in all your presentations it’s easy to make decision which keyboard is better for you.
BTW I’m considering buying Roland Jupiter XM, what do you think about it? I like it because it’s small, because I live in apartment not the house so it takes less space than Roland Jupiter X, just I’m a little worried about small keys. And what do you think about hardware vs software synths in music production? And if I may ask you why you don’t do more often videos about synths? I mean I like arranger keyboards and your channel is one of rare that is about arranger keyboards, just maybe sometimes you can make some exception like you did with Korg Waveste. But on the other hand, you know what is the best content for your channel. Anyway continue with good work! :))
The headphone jack on your DGX-670 is really “noisy”. All three of the Yamaha keyboards I bought recently I returned because of this issue. Why can’t a powerhouse company like Yamaha make a headphone jack that doesn’t hiss at any and all volumes? The sound coming from your KORG is crystal clear at the same price point! I played a KORG i3 last week, zero noise from the headphone jack.
You're right. Wait till you listen to Yamaha's PSS-A50 headphones out... Noise floor is so high it's unusable.
@@JeremySee Ha! I bought the PSS-A50 last year after watching your reviews. On paper it’s super cool, but that ridiculous noise was a deal breaker. I actually returned it and got a second. Not only were their headphone jacks noisy, the onboard speaker hissed even with volume completely down to where you couldn’t hear anything from the keyboard besides noise. I ended up returning them both...disgusted.
Gotta admit I got a kick out of "God Will Make A Way". We haven't played that at church in easily 15, maybe 20 years. :D
I have an ancient DGX 220 with bangy and sticky keys (someone previous owner spilled something on it). Looking for a major upgrade on the piano sound most specifically, in the price range of the DGX series give or take. Thought about a Juno DS88 for synth stuff, but they're getting older now. I like doing a bit of everything so need a versatile keyboard. I use an M-Audio Keystation 88EI with FL Studio and Nexus 2 plugins also. I owned a Heintzman cabinet grand and nothing compares to the rich bassy tones of that acoustic piano. Looking for something rich, vibrant, and realistic.
Hi, how are you, Jeremy? It has those typical arranger functions: right 1, right 2 and left, and on the left I could use piano sounds superimposed on the accompaniment?
Can you pls male a comparison on Casio cts 300 vs Casio ctk3500
Hi Jeremy I heard that Yamaha DGX 670 has issue for the LCD screen... My friend bought DGX 600 and already twice replace the LCD screen... Jow about ukur opinion?
Thanks before....
I would prefer the DGX-670. It has about 88 keys. This really gets my vote. Thanks!
Jeremy Question, I am only interested in the piano sound, which is better? Yamaha dgx 670, korg krome or roland fp 30x?
I am going to buy the keyboard in the USA, could you inform me if I can add voices to this model and how? I am 54 years old and I have not practiced for 35, I was enthusiastic and from your videos I know you know a lot, these voices can be integrated or used by usb memory ?. Thanks again for your time and clarity in the presentation.
My sx700 which is only 6 months old is stuck on the logo screen and I don't know what to do. Someone please give the solution.l came to know that many owners of this keyboard have the same problem.I think it has something to do with deleting item from favourites.
One trick I use for computers may work for you: Unplug the keyboard, remove anything that is plugged in it (including batteries if any), and push the power button and leave it pushed in for at least 60 seconds. Plug it back in and try it. Please let me know if it works. I have fixed many HP and Lenovo laptops this way, and I am convinced it may work for other electronic equipment as well.
Is it worth buying yamaha psr620 in today's time ?
Excellent comparison, Jeremy. I love the rich sounds of Yamaha, and the organic like analog sounds in this instruments. Korg is a good option too, in other range of products, IMO. The Dgx 670 is like my e463 with steroids hehe, I love it.
Thank you, Jeremy for your honest reviews.
A hug and greetings from 🗿Chile🇨🇱

Hello Jeremy, thank you very much for the comparison. I have Korg XE20 about a 5 months now. One thing I would like to share with all of you that the Keybed of XE20 is not quality one. Within 5 months time frame some of the keys already started making noise which I didn't expect. But speakers are excellent with very high quality sound.
Thanks
Indeed the RH3 keybed in D1 & LP380 is much better.
@@JeremySee 👍👍
Seriously!?😳 Please tell me more pros and cons as I'm about to get Korg XE20! Also please let me know any other recommendations!
The funny thing is, right now, XE20 is selling for HK$4,680 while DGX670 is HK$5,980, so now XE20 is closer in price to EW425, at least here. Maybe you can compare those two?

@@xarv368 Je l'ai essayé en magasin, alors si c'est pour jouer juste dans un cadre intime Ça va très bien. De plus ne peut on pas prendre des fils adaptateurs pour avoir la stéréo ?
Si vous recherchez un très bon son de piano avec un clavier assez léger, ce qui me plait personnellement, le DGX est très bien . Mais je n'ai pas essayé l'autre, mais les Rolands qu'il y avait en magasin ne me paraissait pas aussi convaincants
I finally got my DGX670 and really love it! However, I noticed that if I play an instrument with accompaniment the accompaniment overwhelms the instrument, especially the nylon guitar. And if I am playing a lot of notes very fast, some of them simply cut out. I don't get it. Also, the intro and endings on the accompaniment are extremely loud to the point of hurting my ears! I know I can probably adjust these things but thought it should come with proper volumes. I am wondering if anyone else is having these issues.
Simple. Press the Mixer button and adjust the volume. :)
I have the DGX660 is it worth upgrading to the 670 ?
It's a HUGE upgrade.
@@JeremySee Oh thanks for replying ...I will go and look although stock levels in South Africa at the moment of anything Yamaha are a problem !..
DGX670 vs FPE50 vs PXS6000 vs PS500?
XE20 vs CDPS360?
I'm shocked the DGX 670 does not have a pair of 1/4" outputs. That makes it a $799 home keyboard. Whereas the Korg is a $799 gigging keyboard.
Pisses me more knowing that it probably cost them 10 cents to add a second 1/4" port for stereo outputs, but they decided not to. I bet you can add one yourself if you have some DIY skills, just some light drilling and soldering.
The manual on page 97 or 98 depending on the language, shows that the output is 1/4 Stereo, if you want to add more technology, there is a bluetoot adapter that can be added and thus connect some good headphones without cables that bother you, at the same time. Raising the level of technology by purchasing accessories will raise the value of the instrument and its ease of use.
A non issue. Mannys Music Brisbane supplied me a 3 metre stereo audio connection cable for $30 that has the mini stereo jack to plug into the headphone socket at the back of the DGX-670 keyboard and two 1/4” jacks to plug into each of my PreSonus stereo powered monitors and this works perfectly well and sounds fabulous, as on the keyboard menu options one can also select to also have the audio sounding from the internal speakers as well! >> 4 speakers audio sounds fabulous!
Also, the fact that the DGX-670 has a mic input along with fab’ Yamaha vocal FX is a huge bonus plus feature! The DGX-670 Arranger home recorder keyboard is wonderful, and very enjoyable - especially with the two types of auto accompaniments: full accompaniment instruments, or, minimal accompaniment of only the bass guitar and drums & percussion instruments with each & every style! Fabulous value and fab’ features, it’s the best home digital piano 🎹 I have ever owned & played.
The recent series of Yamaha like PSR- SX, DGX670 or CLP series are simply way ahead of other brands imo. The sound quality is much better.
Can you tell me my keyboard yamaha e273 i have no concert piaño
I would rather have a Yamaha S90ES it is so amazing with tons of layering, arpegiator fx and just way more, balanced hammer action with after touch, it's older but the I/O are numerous, I would have bought the order keyboard and have all of that with great piano sounds etc. What is similar to that model currently .. that one was really amazing for ease but tons of fx
Thank you very much
Korg has never been known for good pianos. Yamaha, Roland, Kurzweil are much better. 256 note polyphony is so much richer than 128. I own 2 Yamahas, 2 Roland's, and 2 Korgs, so believe Me, lol. This DGX 670 has huge stereo speakers too. You don't always need an Amp, unless you're playing onstage with a band. For the money, the DGX 670 is AWESOME!!!
The bad thing about the dgx670 is that it does not have a stereo output (L and R) for external speakers, only a mono output for headphones and even worse, its integrated speakers are mediocre. I'd better go with the Roland fp60X piano despite having fewer options.
Wait. The Yamaha doesn't have quarter inch outs? Why would they do that? It's otherwise almost perfect. Damn.
The edit at 1:59 made me think he was gonna break out into song. XD
--That aside thanks for all of your reviews! They helped me pick out my practice keyboard a few months back.
Edit: The Yamaha's interface in this vid looks like a mini DAW. That is so friggen cool.
I appreciate your kind compliments.
Hi Jeremy! I truly enjoyed your comparison, and wonder if you know of a similarly priced keyboard with comparable features to the DGX, but not as wide of a body, and perhaps a bit lighter? I'd like to use it in my band, so portability is a large factor. I love the variation of sounds, but I'm thinking I may have to accept more limited features to find a setup I could use. Any suggestions? Thanks!
This is what you're looking for. amzn.to/3JVsaq8
@@JeremySee thanks for the help. I should have mentioned that I was looking for a 76 key keyboard
great piano playing :)

In UK the Yamaha one costs 799£, that are 1088$ approx...
I hate that.
Do you have a pet? The hair makes it obvious, hehe. 8:15
My many cats appear in my videos often. 😉
Absence of Left/mono and Right is a huge deal breaker for many. Also half the weight - really? I would go for xe20 or mx88. Can you compare xe20 with mx88 , would be an interesting one.
MX88 is really being phased out and it isn't an arranger like these 2.
@@JeremySee Oh ok thanks for the suggestion. I like your channel as reviews are unbiassed. I own a Yamaha P45 88 keys. I previously owned a Korg PA 500 , but don’t want to buy a PA600/700/1000 because of its weight. I tried the ek50 in a musical shop and the sound was not rich enough.

@@JeremySee thank you. You're doing an amazing job explaining and teaching
Thanks for another great review Jeremy.
In Europe, the XE20 is currently a bit cheaper than the DGX-670. And as you mention, it also has proper lineouts, more onboard sound power, and it weighs about half as much as the DGX-670. This makes it the versatile portable piano that Yamaha has entirely failed to produce in recent years - ever since they deleted the P-255. And the P-255 did not have any arranger features anyway.
The only Yamaha pianos which compete with this Korg in terms of both connectivity and portability are the P-125 & P-121, and these are short on other features that we're looking at here. They are also stuck with the oudated GH action.
IMO Yamaha digital piano sounds are unbeatable, nevertheless, a lot of players use the DGX-670 for controlling the Pianoteq virtual pianos.
If I had to choose between these two digital pianos, the deciding factor would be the action. You say that the DGX-670's GH action is heavier (therefore more pianistic?) but I know that it is also sluggish. I wonder if can you play quick arpeggios securely on the XE20.
Hi Mike, as you know I have the DGX-670, but I have also played the Korg XE20. Its piano sounds are mediocre, I think you would be highly disappointed with that since you are used to the quality piano sounds of your P255. The styles are fine, but they are outdated. In fact, they are the styles of the old Korg PA60, which I bought back in 2000 and owned for many years. Yamaha styles are more refined. The Korg speaker system is really tiny, consisting of small oval speakers. The 18 watts per channel is just a number, don't expect anything amazing from it. The DGX-670 has a better speaker system, fuller and louder. I know the specs may seem to indicate otherwise, but I am familiar with both instruments in person. The proper line outs are not a relevant issue, as you can use a 1/4" stereo to two 1/8" mono cable, something I have done many times with the DGX-670 and DGX-660 (I owned the 660 before too). The one thing this Korg has over Yamaha is portability. I don't remember the XE20 action enough to give you feedback on it, but it didn't feel remarkable when I played it. The Yamaha is superior in many other aspects. The XE20 fails to provide the most basic feature it should have: good piano tone. Korg has mediocre piano sounds. You probably remember the M50, Triton, etc, workstations: they all had mediocre piano sounds compared to Yamaha. They haven't made a whole lot of progress in their digital pianos, I played the LP180 and B2 as well and they are weak. One thing the Korg digital pianos have is a quiet action, similar to the Roland FP90X in the sense they make little noise. But that comes at the price of feeling sluggish... so, I doubt you would find those actions any better than the GH in the Yamaha's.
