Casio CDP-S160chat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Strong keyboard feel for the price point. Multiple commenters say the CDP-S160's key action rivals keyboards costing nearly twice as much, calling it best-in-category for entry-level weighted pianos. One owner directly compared it to a $750 Yamaha and found the feel competitive at under half the price. However, one reviewer flagged uneven downweight between black and white keys as a fundamental flaw for a velocity-sensitive action, and another called the action 'pure crap' with overly short keys.

Tone quality gets mixed but mostly positive marks. Several commenters describe the piano and default sounds as excellent, compact, and not 'computer-like,' with one buyer preferring its default piano tone over a Yamaha DGX670 at a guitar store. Another said it offers a full piano experience for a lower price than Privia's 1100 model. Conversely, one former owner felt sound quality wasn't the best and recommended a Yamaha P-225 or Roland instead at the same price point.

Accessories and connectivity have some rough edges. The included sustain pedal is described as weak, though easy to swap for a better one. A buyer reports the 1/8-inch headphone output picks up noticeable hiss with sensitive headphones. Another notes the 1/8 inch output jack is less durable than a built-in 1/4 inch jack, though adapters exist for external speakers and gigging setups. The piano is also praised for real USB interface connectivity and battery power for portability.
