I have been too busy at work, so I haven’t been home for a long time. I miss my piano very much. However, the progress of the project is slow, and I can’t go back until the Chinese New Year. So I planned to buy an electric piano and put it in the company dormitory. I would play it after work. This is my favorite way to decompress after a stressful job.
just did it. Based on my understanding of pianos and the problem of dormitory space, I planned to buy an electric piano directly from the beginning. As long as I choose it well, the sound can be almost the same as that of a piano. In the end, I chose KAWAI ES120 and YAMAHA P125. After struggling for a while, after comparison, I chose KAWAI ES120.
Because the dormitory space is small, my first choice is portability! Portable! Portable! The KAWAI ES120 has a body width of 1.3 meters and a height of 1.5 meters. It is relatively small and just suitable for where I want to place it. It is simply designed for me. Moreover, its appearance is beautiful, simple and fashionable, and it will never go out of style. Generally speaking, this is the case for brand-name pianos, which focus on practicality and do not have any fancy appearance.
As a piano lover, timbre is very important to me, so I attach great importance to the sound system of the piano. KAWAI ES120 uses 88-key stereo key-by-key sampling, and YAMAHA P125 uses stereo sampling. Many electric keyboards on the market use stereo sampling, which is not to say bad, but in terms of sound quality processing, the details may not be as good as the 88-key stereo key-by-key sampling of KAWAI ES120. Relatively speaking, the keyboard noise of YAMAHA P125 will be louder than that of KAWAI ES120. Some. This point really caught my eye. At this point in the comparison, I am actually leaning towards the KAWAI ES120.
Considering that I live in a dormitory, the work and rest schedules of my roommates are very inconsistent, and there are also comrades who need to work night shifts, so how not to interfere with their rest is also a very important thing, and KAWAI ES120 can be connected to headphones. Wearing it allows you to practice piano immersively without disturbing or being disturbed by others, which is great! Moreover, its speaker power has been upgraded, with a new small volume balance, SHS headphone effect and HT headphone mode. Even if you wear headphones, you can enjoy the surround sound of the piano, which is as beautiful and detailed as open practice. Not bad at all. In contrast, the YAMAHA P125 does not have a headphone function, so I decided to buy the KAWAI ES120 portable electric piano.
KAWAI ES120 After arriving in the dormitory, I tried to use the earphones and connected directly via Bluetooth wirelessly. I accidentally discovered that the Bluetooth connection speed of KAWAI ES120 is super fast, the stability is also great, and the sound quality output is very detailed. I love it! After reading the description, it turns out that the Bluetooth configuration of KAWAI ES120 is very high, Bluetooth MIDI has reached version 5.0, and Bluetooth audio output is version 5.1. You must know that the two parameters of Roland FP30X at home are 3.0 and 4.0 respectively, and and Bluetooth are used. The experience level is already very good. The configuration of KAWAI ES120 is so high. It can be said that it is the ceiling of Bluetooth configuration in electric steel.
Currently, I connect my headphones to practice electric piano every day after get off work. The KAWAI ES120 portable electric piano can really be played with your eyes closed. It is very cost-effective and has become my favorite!
