My full review of the impressive Casio CT-X700. It's a big leap up from its predecessors, and this is just the new 'entry' level for Casio.

Hi, I don't have the keyboards anymore but I've reviewed them both. I suggest opening two windows on your browser and playing each review side by side, listening to the differences in piano sounds.

Thanks a lot .for this video.Actually I am a novice and bought this keyboard,I was really concerned with the subtle drum beat type of sound after pressing the piano keys ,especially in Grand Piano mode.I thougth this as some sort of manufacturing defect. I even contacted the service team. Luckily I could not find a service centre near me,otherwise I would have taken this to them.But whemn you told in this video , that the hammer drop sound is found in original grand piano, and this model perfectly emulates that, I had a shy of relief.THANK you again

Hi TKH, my daughter is probably the best person to ask about this! She has had a lot of success with JBL speakers, and swears by them. I'm pretty sure they make some computer speakers around the $50 mark, so that might be a good place to start. Me personally, I'd go second-hand and find the most powerful Bluetooth speaker I could for that money. Just about all of them have an AUX socket for connection, and they often have surprisingly good volume. Hope that helps! Gearfacts

The only Yamaha keyboards that beat the Casio keyboards are the ones that start with a "4". They have the dynamic control knobs, and they make ALL the difference! The Casios clearly outperform the Yamaha keyboards that start with "3" or "2". So in your comparison, I'd buy the Casio.
