Bobbo Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I usually play my PX-S3000 using the onboard speakers, and the grand piano sound (001) is pretty good that way. But whenever I listen with earphones -- and mine are not even particularly high quality -- I am always blown away by how gorgeous the grand piano sound is. (This is especially noticeable when playing classical music.) I'm not complaining about the onboard amplifier and speakers; considering the compact form and low power, the audio quality is pleasant and pretty impressive. But I think an acoustic piano sound is so subtle and complex that it is challenging to reproduce faithfully, and with earphones I assume I am getting the pure sound of the samples, which to my ear is great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Pansini Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I agree. Headphones sound amazing. I really don't like the onboard speakers. They sound "metallic", not real. Whereas the headphones sound incredible. I've used a number of external speakers and PA's and nothing so far sounds as good as the headphones. I also have a Yamaha P85. It's about 12 years old. The on board speakers are better than the Casio's, but like the Casio, going through headphones sound so much better. All piano's with such a small footprint will never sound great. You just can't get great sound out of those small speakers. I just wish I could get the same sound out of my PA as I do with the headphones. Don't really know why the 1/4 in outs aren't giving me the same quality sound. Any thoughts? DAvid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
