Having bought the P125 for my grandkids back in 2019 and last year the DGX670 for myself, the DGX is well worth the extra $250. I bought mine for $800 USD, when DGX first came out. I feel sorry for those who bought the DGX660 as it is nowhere as good. They have since increased $50. One other thing. I would recommend a Z stand over an X as it doesn't block your legs, is more stable and just as portable.
That's good advice, Mike, thanks. I agree that DGX670 was a big jump up from DGX660, it feels much more 'premium' to me. Regarding the stands, I have found that the double-braced XX stands that we supply have not caused any issues with blocking leg access underneath. They have plenty of clearance underneath for your knees to go. I understand that there are some designs that are more restrictive though.
Just moved to the UK from Canada and left behind my Yamaha Montage. Gorgeous instrument! Just purchased the DGX670 frm Bonners and should receive soon, but was shocked that it has the same beautiful voicings that the Montage has! Can't wait to play it!
I have the p125 and love it for it‘s simplicity. It’s really all I need. Sometimes less choice can be a blessing. The epiano sounds are really solid. I own for playing with my band ck61 (more sounds, direct control over effects and organ drawbars) but when playing solo, I find myself using only a few voices.
I am a 67 year old Grandma who is interested in re-learning the piano and teaching my grandchildren. I have just purchased the DGX 670 instead of the P 125 and was wondering if I made the right choice. You have reassured me! I have also watched numerous videos on them, but yours was the best! I wish I could have purchased this from your store, but am in Florida. However, I have given a thumbs up and subscribed to your channel, so hope this helps out. Thank you for a great comparison video!
I purchased the DGX-670, and just wow - what a great item. I thought I would be excited, but after playing williams, donner, casio, this thing is just AWESOME!!! ty again for helping me decide!
DGX 670 needs to be studied thoroughly for anyone who has bought it. if you are just going to play piano and some other tones, one can very well buy p 125 and in need of some extra tones may use some plugins too. But DGX 670 is a producer's goldmine and someone who is making music needs to study it a to z to completely make use of it.
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 I was looking at the Fp60x too..but I’m worried about the PHa4 keys.. there’s so many people complaining about clicking noise or noisy keys after some time. Some even get it immediately out of the box.. they say it’s the grease and just needs to be serviced but for $999 that should not happen atleast after 1-2 years. The DGX670 ($849) apparently can be used with a splitter to connect to external speakers..
@@xarv368 The dgx670 delivers the best feature package for the price. A premium 88-key keyboard and features more expensive keyboards. Amplification can be increased by adding a subwofer
I was able to modify the 3 pedal unit to work freestanding without the official stand in about an hour with basic tools. I also found out that you can use the microphone input to connect an electric guitar and use the DSP to create new sounds much like pedals while playing with midi files with the keyboard.
I'm the pianists for a 19 piece Jazz Ensemble. I have a P-125 which is great because I can literally carry it under one arm! I have a ton of keyboards, but this thing is by far the most convenient if you're primarily a pianist and don't want to lug a bunch of gear to gigs. I use an external QSC-K.12 speaker which is the heaviest piece of gear at about 30 pounds. Similar to another user, I bought the P-125 for my Grandson who got bored of piano, so I stole it back!!
Love how concise and informative all of your videos are, they really helped me buy my first piano. Got the DGX 670 2 weeks ago and it is worth every penny. Still learning the features but I love it so much :')
Absolutely great presentation, I am a singer/pianist and I've gotten tired of working with bands, so I'm going solo and I was a little concerned about the weight of the 670 versus the 125, but it appears that if I get adept and knowledgeable about the accompaniments, I could literally be a one-man band for a restaurant or bar situation playing an assortment of sung songs and instrumentals. Plus, the song writing and recording capabilities make the 670 the obvious choice for me. Being in Texas, USA, the only negative I take away is that we are separated by the Atlantic; otherwise, I would be in your store pestering you on a daily basis. Thanks for the great information and please keep it coming. Again, fantastic video. Thank you.
You are better than Amazon! I watched your video before and got a refresher today. Thank you so much. I'm 79 years old and don't think I will be creating music, so I will probably go the simple route of getting the P-125. But it's not cast in concrete. I have two other Yamahas, one needing help with the sound on three notes!
Many times I listen to other RUclipsr doing piano model review , I get even more confused about which piano to buy. On the other hand Thank-you very much fr yr clear n detailed explanations. Yr direct comparison between 2 models is definitely very helpful to me to make sensible decision to suit my needs. 😊 I have decided on P125 , all music creators should go fr the amazing Dgx 670. Thanks again !
It seems the major advantages of the P125 over the DGX 670 is that it is lightweight and portable for gigs. If your keyboard is primarily for home use or permanently in a studio, i would think the DGX 670 would provide the most bang for the buck. DGX 670 is pretty bulky and heavy in comparison to P 125.
Unless sound quality matters. Each uses a different piano sample. P125 has a better sample. Most piano players will hear the difference. However, there is no denying the element of fun that DGX brings to the table.
…very good comparison and I appreciate the no-nonsense presentation. I have the P121 (73 key version of the P125) in one location with space limitations and used to have the DGX 660, the predecessor of the 670 in a second location with more room. I am a learner. I never used the vast array of features of the DGX. The key beds and therefore the touch are identical between the two. It’s not a P515 but it’s an authentic hammer action weighted keys feel. The price difference is rather insignificant. A few hours of professional lessons. To me it boils down to space and portability (DGX is too heavy to gig with, the P125 is still ok). If you don‘t gig and have the space, get the DGX even if you never use all the features. If you are an aspiring pianist after your time on P125/121…or DGX, get a P515. But I will never get to that level.
Very nice video. I was leaning toward a P-125 but with all the features of the DGX , it's hard not to go with that one. BTW - the Camera Error Cat was awesome!
Thank you, Phillip. Glad you liked the video. DGX670 has been a really popular one for sure. It's worth having a look at the new Yamaha P-S500 too here: www.epianos.co.uk/tv/yamaha-p-s500-review-demonstration-buyers-guide/
I bought the DGX 670 a year ago and have never looked back, I got the deal with the stand and pedal set combined and sometimes I wake up in a sweat at night thinking that I nearly bought a basic entry digital piano with barley ¼ of the functionality of the DGX 670 for only slightly less money than the DGX cost, well done YAMAHA, money very well spent.
Brilliant video - simple and to the point! As someone who is looking to get more deeply involved with music production, this video made an excellent case justifying the extra cost of the DGX-670 🙂
Thank you for your comment. Yes, it's a superb keyboard! Definitely a great choice for the price. The mono out is one of the areas where it reflects its budget-friendly value 😌
Yamaha has released few 76-key models. They are usually 61-key or 88-key pianos. They only leave the 76-key ones on the super expensive models (Genos and Montage).
I own a DGX-650, and I love it. It's a lot of fun to play with all of the sounds and recording features. It's a premium over the basic digital pianos, but I think it's well worth it.
I have completely different feeling. My parents bought me that piano 7 years ago, when I wasn't really into gigging. Outputs are terrible, all the button are useless, there aren't any knobs, most of sounds is also useless, FXs don't have any parameters. We bought P121 for our church youth room, and I musi say that it has better feeling for me. It has 24 sounds, but most of them are usable. It also has usb audio, so it's possible to really easy add sounds from VSTs. DGX650 usb midi has noticable lag, so it's not very fun to use it as midi controller.
I got the P125... for $699... but if I had known about DGX670 and its CFX sound, I would have paid $150 more for the DGX670... not to mention the many sounds on the DGX670... the piano sound on P125 is decent piano sound, but the sound on DGX670 is just great
Got a DGX-670 last year, extremely capable Digital Piano. Incredible number of voices that sound very good for the most part., Loads and loads of marvelous features. We Connect external speakers & Subwoofer to the Headphone out. That is a necessity to hear what it is capable of. (internal speakers are fairly mediocre) . with High quality headphones can hear the incredible good detail in the sound output. Also we use USB-MIDI a lot with a PC display in place of music stand.
I wanted a light portable piano & just bought the P125. I am good with the 125. I love it. I grew up playing on an out of tune piano, so this is my first fully weighted keyboard. I got the Z stand, which I think it is better than the X stand. I also bought a sustain pedal b/c the pedal that came with it sucks.
Thank you very much for this great presentation of the two machines. I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the difference between the DGX 670 and the PSR SX720, for example. If someone would be willing to explain it to me, I'd be delighted.
In regard to the three pedal unit, you can fit your X stand with a similar board or panel onto which you can attach the three pedal unit. Get out a drill and retro fit it with bolts and wingnuts and you are good to go
I enjoyed the video to me the dgx 670 sounds incrediable like a little tyros since it has most of the sounds you would find in a psr s sx tyros genos.😃
Super interesting & useful. Quite amazing what the 670 can do, as the Beatles did great stuff with just a 4 track tape recorder & this as 16! The comparison was like comparing the 21st century to the 20th & convinced me I should save up for the 670. Thank you for sharing!
I owned a DGX-640 and loved it, but would only consider it "portable" in the sense that your refrigerator is portable because it's not bolted into the house. For any regular gigging, you would need a flight case, and the combined weight and size is at least a two-person job. Trying to shuffle it around without a case could lead to damage of very delicate circuitry, as happened to mine. It required a specialist shop capable of replacing tiny surface-mount chips to repair. Otherwise a very thorough and interesting comparison!
Nick makes a really important point here which I should have mentioned in the video. Here are the respective weights: P-125 is 11.8kg (26.01 lbs) and DGX-670 is 21.4 kg (47 lb, 3 oz). So, yes the DGX is quite a lot heavier! - Personally, I have taken a DGX out to gig with in my car and it's juuuuust about managable for one person to carry (without a solid case - no case at all, actually). Compared to a traditional piano, the DGX670 can be considered portable, of course, but P-125 is certainly the winner for real-life portability between them.
@@ePianoscouk If you gigged with this, how did you go with amplification? Can you use the headphone jack and is there any distortion of sound, due to not having a line out jack? Thanks
@@neillambert5614 The main audio output is a quarter-inch jack (which also doubles as the headphones output). So, if you're gigging you can use this. Alternatively, you can get an audio output from the USB to HOST socket too. Hope that helps, Neil.
@@ePianoscouk Wow, that was quick! Was it Chris who replied? I live in Australia and have started watching your Informative and well presented videos. Thanks again. Much appreciated. Neil
@@neillambert5614 You're welcome, Neil. Yes, it's Chris here. Just past lunchtime here in the UK. I'm glad to hear that you're finding our videos helpful. There's loads more to see on our website here: www.epianos.co.uk/tv
Thanks for the comprehensive video. I own a DGX 640 that is on its last legs so will have to replace. Unfortunately I can’t visit your shop because I’m in the states. I ish you all the best!
You're welcome, MissSandraK. If you're interested in the Yamaha DGX-670, we've done quite a few videos with it. You can find them all in one place on our website here: www.epianos.co.uk/videos/dgx-videos/ - Hope that helps!
Fabulous comparison! I’m currently renting a P125 have have learned about features I can try out. I’m truly excited about the DGX670 after this review!
Thank you, David. P-125 is certainly great for simply playing piano. However, I've found that people are sometimes surprised by how much fun they'd get from a DGX-670. The amount of buttons/dials can be off putting initially, but the fundamental objective of the design is to enhance your playing experience and once people try it, they tend to be impressed!
I really like your style of doing the reviews. You are concise, well spoken and knowledgeable. I almost forgot - you play very well too. Thank you, Michael Ps. As strange as it may sound, I very recently downgraded from Yamaha P-515 to P-125a (considered briefly DGX670 but I preferred simplicity of P-125a and I got a great deal). My fingers started to be bothered by NWX heavy action.
Dgx is a beast with professional samples you can actually use out of box to produce with. It blows everything away in the price range. The accompanying tracks are already a complete band. You could go love and sound like it was out if the studio. I bought dgx and man it was worth every dime. I'm so happy with this piano. It's simply COMPLETE. EZ TO use too. Did a few songs with it. It's fantastic.
@quasimodem4534 yeah actually it's p4p best at this price. Almost too good to be true. The piano is amazing and theres a usb to upload tons of styles from the tyros library and other styles from other yamaha stynths too. The sounds on this are only available on HIGH ENDS costing 3-4 x's more.
For those who are still confused, put it this way. DGX 670 is a digital piano with an "arranger keyboard" functionalities. P-125 is only a digital piano with an extra basic functionalities on top.
This is awesome. I've been teaching guitar for years and want to get into jazz and ragtime piano. I've played piano a bit before, but I'm hardly versatile. I was pretty much settled on the p125a, but I think it might be too little. I love to write music as well. I'm more leaning hard towards the dgx. The controls look much like my digital recorder, so no issue. I'll just stick a postit note on I it that days NO and a date that I can start using all the bells and whistles, other than the music reading screen features. Thanks for the brilliant info.
I have YAMAHA P125 (88 keys) And I'm very much satisfied with what it offers though limited sounds. padel that comes when we purchase works well but its not soo dear to me because its too light (not heavy) when we kick/press, it makes lots of noise. But its all available at market/online so🤷
I hope this is a helpful point for anyone reading: An important change from DGX660 to DGX670 was that the wooden stand is no longer included in the box along with the piano. DGX660 used to come with a wooden stand (just like the L300 stand that is available for DGX670) that screwed to the underside of the piano. In its box, the Yamaha DGX670 contains the piano itself, the power adaptor, music rest, printed manual, and single sustain pedal.
@@ePianoscouk I'm undecided. My son is still loving our P105. But I might surprise him with the DGX-670 as he started recording stuff and would need the added features of 670. I just wanted to confirm if the piano sounds and feel are the same between the 2.
I just love this. Wow, it is endless fun. I really am going to buy this and then I'll need to follow up with your lessons on using it. Where do I find you for that?
The DGX-670 is the Victorinox Multi-tool of pianos, it has everything you need, but you need a belt pouch to carry it and is bulky. The P-125 would be a pocket knife, fits well, and it's easy to carry and does the job. That being said, you won't get bored with the 670, tired of listening to piano? Switch to trumpets or guitars and continue practicing.
Lol, Steve. I like your way of describing the DGX-670 as a Swiss army knife. I want to be clear to anyone reading though that you won't be able to open a bottle or trim your toenails with the DGX-670.
17:39 bro get me a P-125 STAT! Great teaching and practice system, and you can experiment with how you want you left and right-hand to sound together while gaining control with both hands! 🖤👍
I would like if instead of a slim manual, they would include a DVD with demos. Or, perhaps a demo online. I have the DGX-670 and there is a lot to learn! Another problem I have is when playing the accompaniment. It is overwhelming the loudness of the lead. Also, when changing chords, you sort of have to hit the left hand chord a bit ahead of the groove or it sounds like it's late.
@@permanentwave That is a professional demo of everything. I'm talking about a step-by-step breakdown of how each individual instruments demo was done, not just the finished product. It's like having someone like Jordan Rudess break down how they put a composition together etc.
Hi, I'm in my 60's and I own a P125, but now I want to give my son a keyboard as a gift, he wants to learn. As I watch your video, I'm wondering if I should give it instead to my 8 year old grandson, who's been taking lessons for 2 years now, he's a natural and loves music. He has an older model Casio keyboard, and I know his parents won't buy him an upgrade anytime soon. Who of the two would benefit more, I wonder. Great video, very informative. Thanks so much.
Hi Alert100 Arnu. It's a difficult one, isn't it? - DGX670 offers so much extra, however, that's not always what is right for a youngster that is learning. Some will benefit from fewer distractions like P-125 offers, some will thrive with the versitility of DGX670. It's really a personal choice that only someone who knows them (and the child themselves!) can make. I wish you the best of luck!
Hi, sagarkills. A video showing how to use the 16 track recorder is most certainly on my list! In the meantime, you might like to see all the other videos we've done on the DGX670 on our website here: www.epianos.co.uk/tv - There are quite a few tutorials on there. Take care.
Thankfully a demonstrator, got rid of the glue that annealed his rear from off the fence and stated his preference. They normally go through all the sound s and facilities then say... its upto to you? .... what do you think is better. To me the whole idea of putting 2.keyboards together is to find out which is best. Not to leave the conclusion hanging in mid air
Fantastic, you covered so many aspects which surely helped me. And I really loved the guitar sound which the fret sliding sound, ohhh wow, I just loved that. I have been playing a piano since childhood but not trained, I just like to find some tunes and have a nice time. I want to get a good piano and learn chords, using both hands etc. DG-670 has some fantastic sounds with the features of a classic piano sounds and pedals which I think makes it perfect for what I need. I tried the Rolland R102 and loved its key action but as my first weighted keyboard its a drastic change and not comfortable playing longer sessions. I think yamaha key action is not as heavy as the Roland.
I was able to demo a p125 when I was at a music store and fell in love with how it sounded... they did not have a 670 on display. I really like the features of the 670 but do not want to sacrafice the sound.... do they sound the same (or similar) from the onboard speakers??
Thanks for the review. What amplification/eq/ speakers are you using to get this sound. I would definitely say it does not sound like this about of the box. On this video sounds great and like a real piano. Out of the box you can hear the “keyboard” sound. Or maybe pressure level need to be adjusted? Any insight here?
I am referring to the dgx670. When I use my headphones sennhieser i notice better quality but when I hook it up to my keyboard amp it sounds “fake” in tone. Any help with what speaker or sound equipment or eq would be awesome! Thanks again for review
Great presentation: I think the volume quaity on the P-125 is much better. But, maybe the volume can come up on the DGX-670. Piano on the 670 seems less full and much softer. Can that be adjusted so the piano sounds the same as the P-125?
@@challoy06141988 thank you, great timing. I just ordered teh DGX 670 yesterday. the cost is not that much more and you get so much more with the DGX. Thank you for your reply and I did click like at the bottom of the video presentation.
I have a question regarding a wireless headphone to this keyboard. Can we connect a Yamaha or Apple wireless headphone to DGX-670? Or only we need to use wire headphone?
Thank you for the comprehensive review but I feel that the P-125 was short changed in this comparison. Your review is obviously weighted towards the DGX 670 which is a fine keyboard but for a profesional gigging players the DGX670 is probably NOT the best solution. The DGX670 is much heavier than a P-125! It weighs in at almost 50lbs! The P125 is 26lbs. The DGX670 is squarely aimed at a home market with it's auto accompaniment and recording capabilities and not as a professional giging keyboard. The simplicity of the P-125 is it's strong suit. I think the light weight and the simple design of the P-125 makes this the perfect choice for a professional player. I also don't think the build quality of the DGX670 is as robust as the P125. Moreover the internal speaker system of the P125 has more power and sounds better than the DGX670. The DXG670 is severely under powered and sounds unimpressive. Also there is no professional audio output on the DGX670. If your planning on running it through a high quality sound system (and you should since the internal audio system sounds terrible) your only option is the headphone out and a splitter to go into 2 channels. So you loose your headphone output if you want to run the output to an external speaker. And although the headphone output is a TRS type plug it is NOT a balanced output. This is important because an UNBALANCED output of the DGX670 is subject to electronic and RF interference. This means your sound quality could be severely degraded by longer cable runs or close proximity to AC electric on stage. In addition the headphone output is a preamp output designed to be used for headphones and not designed to professional audio. There is no selection for "Line" or "Mic" level which means the output might not match your input device or mixer and cause over modulation on the front end. The bottom line is that the DGX670 is a home keyboard that is a lot of fun to experiment with and mess around on but I would never take it on a gig.

You're just a yank who is impressed by the English accent lol
Hi everyone Paying attention to minute 3:22 the Yamaha DGX670 sound much more like a Grand Piano, and P-125 like an upright piano
Love this demo. And that 'camera error cat' too!
Thank you, Fezile!
Such a helpful video! Thank you. I can't wait to get the DGX-670!
Love how concise and informative all of your videos are, they really helped me buy my first piano. Got the DGX 670 2 weeks ago and it is worth every penny. Still learning the features but I love it so much :')
Thank you for this supportive comment, Sparsh. 🙏
Did you learn all the features yet? :)
Absolutely great presentation, I am a singer/pianist and I've gotten tired of working with bands, so I'm going solo and I was a little concerned about the weight of the 670 versus the 125, but it appears that if I get adept and knowledgeable about the accompaniments, I could literally be a one-man band for a restaurant or bar situation playing an assortment of sung songs and instrumentals. Plus, the song writing and recording capabilities make the 670 the obvious choice for me. Being in Texas, USA, the only negative I take away is that we are separated by the Atlantic; otherwise, I would be in your store pestering you on a daily basis. Thanks for the great information and please keep it coming. Again, fantastic video. Thank you.
You are better than Amazon! I watched your video before and got a refresher today. Thank you so much. I'm 79 years old and don't think I will be creating music, so I will probably go the simple route of getting the P-125. But it's not cast in concrete. I have two other Yamahas, one needing help with the sound on three notes!
Many times I listen to other RUclipsr doing piano model review , I get even more confused about which piano to buy. On the other hand Thank-you very much fr yr clear n detailed explanations. Yr direct comparison between 2 models is definitely very helpful to me to make sensible decision to suit my needs. 😊 I have decided on P125 , all music creators should go fr the amazing Dgx 670. Thanks again !
It seems the major advantages of the P125 over the DGX 670 is that it is lightweight and portable for gigs. If your keyboard is primarily for home use or permanently in a studio, i would think the DGX 670 would provide the most bang for the buck. DGX 670 is pretty bulky and heavy in comparison to P 125.
Unless sound quality matters. Each uses a different piano sample. P125 has a better sample. Most piano players will hear the difference. However, there is no denying the element of fun that DGX brings to the table.
@@SevdalijaDamir ive played both and the dgx sounds miles better than the 125
…very good comparison and I appreciate the no-nonsense presentation. I have the P121 (73 key version of the P125) in one location with space limitations and used to have the DGX 660, the predecessor of the 670 in a second location with more room. I am a learner. I never used the vast array of features of the DGX. The key beds and therefore the touch are identical between the two. It’s not a P515 but it’s an authentic hammer action weighted keys feel. The price difference is rather insignificant. A few hours of professional lessons. To me it boils down to space and portability (DGX is too heavy to gig with, the P125 is still ok). If you don‘t gig and have the space, get the DGX even if you never use all the features. If you are an aspiring pianist after your time on P125/121…or DGX, get a P515. But I will never get to that level.
Very nice video. I was leaning toward a P-125 but with all the features of the DGX , it's hard not to go with that one.
BTW - the Camera Error Cat was awesome!
Thank you, Phillip. Glad you liked the video. DGX670 has been a really popular one for sure. It's worth having a look at the new Yamaha P-S500 too here: www.epianos.co.uk/tv/yamaha-p-s500-review-demonstration-buyers-guide/
Extremely helpful, thank you, i'm going for dgx now
I just went with my dads sister to buy one of these keyboards today for the church. It's very impressive.
I bought the DGX 670 a year ago and have never looked back, I got the deal with the stand and pedal set combined and sometimes I wake up in a sweat at night thinking that I nearly bought a basic entry digital piano with barley ¼ of the functionality of the DGX 670 for only slightly less money than the DGX cost, well done YAMAHA, money very well spent.
Brilliant video - simple and to the point! As someone who is looking to get more deeply involved with music production, this video made an excellent case justifying the extra cost of the DGX-670 🙂
Much appreciated!
Thank You for the in-depth review of the two pianos. It seem like you are the only one giving a realist review. I am impressed.
I have the DGX 670 I Just wish it had Stero out or XLR Outs Great Keyboard
Thank you for your comment. Yes, it's a superb keyboard! Definitely a great choice for the price. The mono out is one of the areas where it reflects its budget-friendly value 😌
Great video. Wish there was a 76-key version of DGX-670. It is too big to fit in my room.
Yamaha has released few 76-key models. They are usually 61-key or 88-key pianos. They only leave the 76-key ones on the super expensive models (Genos and Montage).
I own a DGX-650, and I love it. It's a lot of fun to play with all of the sounds and recording features. It's a premium over the basic digital pianos, but I think it's well worth it.
I have completely different feeling. My parents bought me that piano 7 years ago, when I wasn't really into gigging. Outputs are terrible, all the button are useless, there aren't any knobs, most of sounds is also useless, FXs don't have any parameters. We bought P121 for our church youth room, and I musi say that it has better feeling for me. It has 24 sounds, but most of them are usable. It also has usb audio, so it's possible to really easy add sounds from VSTs. DGX650 usb midi has noticable lag, so it's not very fun to use it as midi controller.
Thank You ! Very nice review, it really helps with the decision making !
I got the P125... for $699... but if I had known about DGX670 and its CFX sound, I would have paid $150 more for the DGX670... not to mention the many sounds on the DGX670... the piano sound on P125 is decent piano sound, but the sound on DGX670 is just great
Got a DGX-670 last year, extremely capable Digital Piano. Incredible number of voices that sound very good for the most part., Loads and loads of marvelous features. We Connect external speakers & Subwoofer to the Headphone out. That is a necessity to hear what it is capable of. (internal speakers are fairly mediocre) . with High quality headphones can hear the incredible good detail in the sound output. Also we use USB-MIDI a lot with a PC display in place of music stand.
I wanted a light portable piano & just bought the P125. I am good with the 125. I love it. I grew up playing on an out of tune piano, so this is my first fully weighted keyboard.
I got the Z stand, which I think it is better than the X stand. I also bought a sustain pedal b/c the pedal that came with it sucks.
Thank you very much for the video, friend!
Very good comparison. Just what I was looking for. Thumbs up Sir and I subscribed. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for this great presentation of the two machines. I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the difference between the DGX 670 and the PSR SX720, for example. If someone would be willing to explain it to me, I'd be delighted.
In regard to the three pedal unit, you can fit your X stand with a similar board or panel onto which you can attach the three pedal unit. Get out a drill and retro fit it with bolts and wingnuts and you are good to go
Excellent and concise review.
Your great description of each instrument, helped me to choose the right piano for me. Thank you.
Thank you for your support, Susan. I'm glad the video helped you.
Excellent and thorough review and comparison! Thank you!
Great job comparing the 2 models
I enjoyed the video to me the dgx 670 sounds incrediable like a little tyros since it has most of the sounds you would find in a psr s sx tyros genos.😃
Excellent comparison. Thank you!
Great comparison video
Thank you, meyers3d. I hope it helped.
Super interesting & useful. Quite amazing what the 670 can do, as the Beatles did great stuff with just a 4 track tape recorder & this as 16! The comparison was like comparing the 21st century to the 20th & convinced me I should save up for the 670. Thank you for sharing!
I owned a DGX-640 and loved it, but would only consider it "portable" in the sense that your refrigerator is portable because it's not bolted into the house. For any regular gigging, you would need a flight case, and the combined weight and size is at least a two-person job. Trying to shuffle it around without a case could lead to damage of very delicate circuitry, as happened to mine. It required a specialist shop capable of replacing tiny surface-mount chips to repair. Otherwise a very thorough and interesting comparison!
Nick makes a really important point here which I should have mentioned in the video. Here are the respective weights: P-125 is 11.8kg (26.01 lbs) and DGX-670 is 21.4 kg (47 lb, 3 oz). So, yes the DGX is quite a lot heavier! - Personally, I have taken a DGX out to gig with in my car and it's juuuuust about managable for one person to carry (without a solid case - no case at all, actually). Compared to a traditional piano, the DGX670 can be considered portable, of course, but P-125 is certainly the winner for real-life portability between them.
@@ePianoscouk If you gigged with this, how did you go with amplification? Can you use the headphone jack and is there any distortion of sound, due to not having a line out jack? Thanks
@@neillambert5614 The main audio output is a quarter-inch jack (which also doubles as the headphones output). So, if you're gigging you can use this. Alternatively, you can get an audio output from the USB to HOST socket too. Hope that helps, Neil.
@@ePianoscouk Wow, that was quick! Was it Chris who replied? I live in Australia and have started watching your Informative and well presented videos. Thanks again. Much appreciated. Neil
@@neillambert5614 You're welcome, Neil. Yes, it's Chris here. Just past lunchtime here in the UK. I'm glad to hear that you're finding our videos helpful. There's loads more to see on our website here: www.epianos.co.uk/tv
Great comparison, nicely done!
Thank you, Tony. It was filmed in our new studio. It's great to have the room to start doing some comparisons again. Glad you enjoyed!
Great video. Congrats
Super helpful review. Thanks for going in depth like that on the difference between the two.
Thanks, Colin. Glad to hear the video was helpful.
You should do a comparison of the fp e50 vs the dgx 670.
I'd be interested in a montage 8ex vs genos 2 video.
Of course , dgx 670! I like the grand piano. Sounds realistic.
Thanks for the comprehensive video. I own a DGX 640 that is on its last legs so will have to replace. Unfortunately I can’t visit your shop because I’m in the states. I ish you all the best!
You're welcome, MissSandraK. If you're interested in the Yamaha DGX-670, we've done quite a few videos with it. You can find them all in one place on our website here: www.epianos.co.uk/videos/dgx-videos/ - Hope that helps!
Fabulous comparison! I’m currently renting a P125 have have learned about features I can try out. I’m truly excited about the DGX670 after this review!
Thank you, David. P-125 is certainly great for simply playing piano. However, I've found that people are sometimes surprised by how much fun they'd get from a DGX-670. The amount of buttons/dials can be off putting initially, but the fundamental objective of the design is to enhance your playing experience and once people try it, they tend to be impressed!
I really like your style of doing the reviews. You are concise, well spoken and knowledgeable. I almost forgot - you play very well too.
Thank you,
Michael
Ps. As strange as it may sound, I very recently downgraded from Yamaha P-515 to P-125a (considered briefly DGX670 but I preferred simplicity of P-125a and I got a great deal). My fingers started to be bothered by NWX heavy action.
Dgx is a beast with professional samples you can actually use out of box to produce with. It blows everything away in the price range. The accompanying tracks are already a complete band. You could go love and sound like it was out if the studio. I bought dgx and man it was worth every dime. I'm so happy with this piano. It's simply COMPLETE. EZ TO use too. Did a few songs with it. It's fantastic.
Thx for the insight! I'm looking at this badboy but the shared lineout/phones is stopping me atm. How's the lineout sound?
@CarlitosCuerdas sounds awesome. I have it going to my Scarlett stereo ins. I use mic on dbx to Scarlett so works out fine.
@quasimodem4534 yeah actually it's p4p best at this price. Almost too good to be true. The piano is amazing and theres a usb to upload tons of styles from the tyros library and other styles from other yamaha stynths too. The sounds on this are only available on HIGH ENDS costing 3-4 x's more.
Thank you for your video! ❤
For those who are still confused, put it this way.
DGX 670 is a digital piano with an "arranger keyboard" functionalities.
P-125 is only a digital piano with an extra basic functionalities on top.
EXCELLENT DEMO....THANK YOU
Thank you for your support, Sam!
I will save my money to buy DGX670. Because (1) I like to sing through (2) I like a lot of theme songs from movies. I want to learn how to play them.
This is awesome. I've been teaching guitar for years and want to get into jazz and ragtime piano. I've played piano a bit before, but I'm hardly versatile. I was pretty much settled on the p125a, but I think it might be too little. I love to write music as well. I'm more leaning hard towards the dgx. The controls look much like my digital recorder, so no issue. I'll just stick a postit note on I it that days NO and a date that I can start using all the bells and whistles, other than the music reading screen features. Thanks for the brilliant info.
I have YAMAHA P125 (88 keys) And I'm very much satisfied with what it offers though limited sounds.
padel that comes when we purchase works well but its not soo dear to me because its too light (not heavy) when we kick/press, it makes lots of noise. But its all available at market/online so🤷
Really fine video. Thanks so much.
I have a dgx 660 B. Came with stand, headphone, earphones and bench.
I would like to upgrade to dgx 670
I hope this is a helpful point for anyone reading:
An important change from DGX660 to DGX670 was that the wooden stand is no longer included in the box along with the piano. DGX660 used to come with a wooden stand (just like the L300 stand that is available for DGX670) that screwed to the underside of the piano.
In its box, the Yamaha DGX670 contains the piano itself, the power adaptor, music rest, printed manual, and single sustain pedal.
Great video! This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!
Thanks, Don! You're welcome. Which model are you going for?
@@ePianoscouk I'm undecided. My son is still loving our P105. But I might surprise him with the DGX-670 as he started recording stuff and would need the added features of 670. I just wanted to confirm if the piano sounds and feel are the same between the 2.
Ever would take the DGX 670! It's more flexibel and has cool sounds!
Thank you so much for this amazing video. This is exactly what a need to know.
Very well thought out. Indeed a great piano comparison!
To bad you don't sell to the US would love to purchase from your store
Portable Grand DGX-xxx one more the common issue was the LCD screen easily worn out
I like dgx 670.It has a comprehensive menu on digital piano, with many styles & voices.
And also it has a resonable price (in Jakarta around $ 700).
I just love this. Wow, it is endless fun. I really am going to buy this and then I'll need to follow up with your lessons on using it. Where do I find you for that?
From this video it appears the DGX 670 comes out on top, however I believe the new p-225 closes that gap and is a lot closer.
Great work 🎉
Ur review is the best dgx670 below p125 away
Wow, this video is so good, I want to buy piano from you - even from Norway.
The DGX-670 is the Victorinox Multi-tool of pianos, it has everything you need, but you need a belt pouch to carry it and is bulky.
The P-125 would be a pocket knife, fits well, and it's easy to carry and does the job.
That being said, you won't get bored with the 670, tired of listening to piano? Switch to trumpets or guitars and continue practicing.
Lol, Steve. I like your way of describing the DGX-670 as a Swiss army knife. I want to be clear to anyone reading though that you won't be able to open a bottle or trim your toenails with the DGX-670.
Thank you for this review. One question…. What kind of amplification/eq/speakers are you using to get this tone.
17:39 bro get me a P-125 STAT! Great teaching and practice system, and you can experiment with how you want you left and right-hand to sound together while gaining control with both hands! 🖤👍
I would like if instead of a slim manual, they would include a DVD with demos. Or, perhaps a demo online. I have the DGX-670 and there is a lot to learn! Another problem I have is when playing the accompaniment. It is overwhelming the loudness of the lead. Also, when changing chords, you sort of have to hit the left hand chord a bit ahead of the groove or it sounds like it's late.
There is a demo button on the keyboard, was that not helpful.
@@permanentwave That is a professional demo of everything. I'm talking about a step-by-step breakdown of how each individual instruments demo was done, not just the finished product. It's like having someone like Jordan Rudess break down how they put a composition together etc.
@@BoneyWhy there is a volume control for the backing voices.
Hi, I'm in my 60's and I own a P125, but now I want to give my son a keyboard as a gift, he wants to learn. As I watch your video, I'm wondering if I should give it instead to my 8 year old grandson, who's been taking lessons for 2 years now, he's a natural and loves music. He has an older model Casio keyboard, and I know his parents won't buy him an upgrade anytime soon. Who of the two would benefit more, I wonder. Great video, very informative. Thanks so much.
Hi Alert100 Arnu. It's a difficult one, isn't it? - DGX670 offers so much extra, however, that's not always what is right for a youngster that is learning. Some will benefit from fewer distractions like P-125 offers, some will thrive with the versitility of DGX670. It's really a personal choice that only someone who knows them (and the child themselves!) can make. I wish you the best of luck!
whats the benefit of the p125 other than being a bit cheaper?
Hi Chris I'll appreciate if you can make video on knowhow 16 track recording on DGX670. I bought DGX670 in 2021 from you
Hi, sagarkills. A video showing how to use the 16 track recorder is most certainly on my list! In the meantime, you might like to see all the other videos we've done on the DGX670 on our website here: www.epianos.co.uk/tv - There are quite a few tutorials on there. Take care.
Thankfully a demonstrator, got rid of the glue that annealed his rear from off the fence and stated his preference. They normally go through all the sound s and facilities then say... its upto to you? .... what do you think is better. To me the whole idea of putting 2.keyboards together is to find out which is best. Not to leave the conclusion hanging in mid air
Fantastic, you covered so many aspects which surely helped me. And I really loved the guitar sound which the fret sliding sound, ohhh wow, I just loved that. I have been playing a piano since childhood but not trained, I just like to find some tunes and have a nice time. I want to get a good piano and learn chords, using both hands etc. DG-670 has some fantastic sounds with the features of a classic piano sounds and pedals which I think makes it perfect for what I need. I tried the Rolland R102 and loved its key action but as my first weighted keyboard its a drastic change and not comfortable playing longer sessions. I think yamaha key action is not as heavy as the Roland.
I was able to demo a p125 when I was at a music store and fell in love with how it sounded... they did not have a 670 on display. I really like the features of the 670 but do not want to sacrafice the sound.... do they sound the same (or similar) from the onboard speakers??
We both have p125 and dgx670 because of our studio use. Dgx 670 sounds a lot better
Thank you. Very clear.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video
KORG B2 or YAMAHA DGX-670? Which one?
Thanks for the review. What amplification/eq/ speakers are you using to get this sound. I would definitely say it does not sound like this about of the box. On this video sounds great and like a real piano. Out of the box you can hear the “keyboard” sound. Or maybe pressure level need to be adjusted? Any insight here?
I am referring to the dgx670. When I use my headphones sennhieser i notice better quality but when I hook it up to my keyboard amp it sounds “fake” in tone. Any help with what speaker or sound equipment or eq would be awesome! Thanks again for review
7:15 does dgx-670 also have this feature ? Piano with strings playing at same time ?
I can't find any video regarding that.
Hi Dheeraj. Yes, the DGX-670 has this feature where you can mix voices together like piano & strings. Hope that helps!
Great presentation: I think the volume quaity on the P-125 is much better. But, maybe the volume can come up on the DGX-670. Piano on the 670 seems less full and much softer. Can that be adjusted so the piano sounds the same as the P-125?
Dgx 670 can fill the room at half volume. P-125 needs at full volume. :) I prefer dgx 670 for a grand piano feels
@@challoy06141988 thank you, great timing. I just ordered teh DGX 670 yesterday. the cost is not that much more and you get so much more with the DGX. Thank you for your reply and I did click like at the bottom of the video presentation.
@@louisvalentino5110 congrats on your newly purchased dgx 670, same with me still learning ^_^.. praise God!
Thank you for this fantastic video. I'm curious: Do you have an opinion re: Yamaha DGX-670 vs Roland FP E50? Thank you so much~
Is there a case or carrying bag that can hold this portable piano?
I have a question regarding a wireless headphone to this keyboard. Can we connect a Yamaha or Apple wireless headphone to DGX-670? Or only we need to use wire headphone?
Thank you for the comprehensive review but I feel that the P-125 was short changed in this comparison. Your review is obviously weighted towards the DGX 670 which is a fine keyboard but for a profesional gigging players the DGX670 is probably NOT the best solution. The DGX670 is much heavier than a P-125! It weighs in at almost 50lbs! The P125 is 26lbs. The DGX670 is squarely aimed at a home market with it's auto accompaniment and recording capabilities and not as a professional giging keyboard. The simplicity of the P-125 is it's strong suit. I think the light weight and the simple design of the P-125 makes this the perfect choice for a professional player. I also don't think the build quality of the DGX670 is as robust as the P125. Moreover the internal speaker system of the P125 has more power and sounds better than the DGX670. The DXG670 is severely under powered and sounds unimpressive. Also there is no professional audio output on the DGX670. If your planning on running it through a high quality sound system (and you should since the internal audio system sounds terrible) your only option is the headphone out and a splitter to go into 2 channels. So you loose your headphone output if you want to run the output to an external speaker. And although the headphone output is a TRS type plug it is NOT a balanced output. This is important because an UNBALANCED output of the DGX670 is subject to electronic and RF interference. This means your sound quality could be severely degraded by longer cable runs or close proximity to AC electric on stage. In addition the headphone output is a preamp output designed to be used for headphones and not designed to professional audio. There is no selection for "Line" or "Mic" level which means the output might not match your input device or mixer and cause over modulation on the front end. The bottom line is that the DGX670 is a home keyboard that is a lot of fun to experiment with and mess around on but I would never take it on a gig.
