Great Keyboard, ignore the negative reviews
By Customer on Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2021
So I work in another country and couldn't walk with my Yamaha MODX8 (which is one of the best synthesizers on the market by the way). I needed a new keyboard to practice and watched tons of Youtube video to decide which board to buy that was under $1000. I was split between the Yamaha DGX 670 and the Kawai ES110 (which is around the same price range). I was also a bit skeptical after watching the reviews that complained about the quality of the speakers. I settled on the Yamaha DGX 670B because it seemed to offer more in terms of Styles (and backup band). I can say definitively, that I haven't regretted the decision. This board exceeds my expectation. The piano sound is beautiful, and the speakers are really good, defying what I heard about the onboard speaker quality. While it doesn't have the means of loading Yamaha's flagship Bosendorfer piano sound (like I could with my MODX8), the Yamaha CFX grand sound is really nice. Plus there are two other major piano tones (if you don't like the Yamaha CFX default sound), as well as many other voices. This board makes me not miss walking with my MODX, and the key bed feels exactly the same. CONS: (1)I am not sure whether the keybed is fully weighted as my previous Yamaha MOXF8 had a heavier action (2) The keys only comes with double sensors unlike the Kawai ES110 which has triple sensors, hence the Kawai ES 110 are more suited for advanced pianists, especially when playing thrills and other ornaments. (3) The key bed doesn't come with key escapement as in the P515, which gives a closer feel to a real piano. But the Kawai ES110 doesn't have this also. (4) You can import new styles but you can't import new voices or samples. (5) You can only play a maximum of 3 voices at the same time (1 with your left hand and 2 with your right), while other more expensive boards allow you to play as much as nine voices at the same time. (6) This keyboard is waaay too heavy. My more advanced MODX8 feels significantly lighter. Hence, it is not advantageous for mobility reasons. Overall, this board is a great buy. Easy to use, really professional sounds, arranger functions, etc. Update: It's now almost three months since I bought this board and I'm still enjoying it. Great buy! Today, July 30, 2022, I learnt that I could hook this digital piano up to my laptop via a USB cord (these small details are not in the user manual), and without needing to buy a MIDI/Audio Interface for US$120, I can take advantage of DAW and virtual pianos on my laptop, seamlessly. This keyboard has the ability to do that. Which means that you can expand your available piano or organ sounds via KEYSCAPE, Alicia's Keys, PianoTeq, etc. or any other of your favourite virtual piano sounds. You would just need to turn your Midi setting on your board on, and turn the keyboard volume off. If you want to use your VST to bluetooth the sound back to your DGX Onboard speakers, you must install the Yamaha Steinberg driver, which will remove the delay experienced.

Mind boggling what they cheaper out on
By Mihai Bulic on Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2023
This is my first foray into music and my first piano. What attracted me is the features it has built in and the controls so I don’t have to mess with my phone to control it. But they cheapened out on idiotic things which would make me recommend something like the Roland FX-30 to others: - No Bluetooth midi: want to connect this to FlowKey? Great, but a separate cable and connect that each time or an $80 dongle. It’s 2023, wtf? I can’t just connect this $800 device to my phone, wtf?? The “bt” feature they have just lets you play music from your phone on its speakers. Which is pretty useless, esp considering their speakers are mediocre - No decent app: Yamaha has a list of like 10 apps buried on their site and none seem like good, modern, nice apps. Just a collection of lame half baked apps. I’m just gonna use FlowKey but I have to get a separate dongle or cable and have to pay for it separately. - Glossy keys: I didn’t think this would matter but I see how it can. Fake ivory or some other matte finish would be nice Overall you can tell Yamaha knows they have a brand name and decent hardware so they’re putting 0 effort in considering the modern customer experience and making it really good.
