To begin with, I want to say that this keyboard has a nice selection of features which aren't just shoddy cheap keyboard sounds.
The instrument sounds available are 5 grand piano settings, 3 electric pianos, 60's piano, harpsichord, vibra-phone, 2 strings, and 4 organs. I don't really like any of them except the strings, which sound beautiful, and the 5 grand piano sounds. The 60's piano is supposed to be nice but I'm not really good enough to know how to make good use of it yet. But the concert grand piano (the default sound) truly sounds like a grand piano and it's pretty delightful.
Where this piano really shines to me is the recording feature. A lot of pianos can record from play but the PX160 can record and overlay so you can record duets solo if you so choose to. It's really convenient if you want to record anything that is too complicated for 2 hands to play.
For my level of playing, another place that this piano shines is its touch response settings. There are four if you include turning it off - the higher the setting (1, 2, and 3), the more you'll be able to control the sound with strength of touch. Maybe most keyboards have this but I've found the PX160's to be incredibly good; I play with it on 2 and I feel like it's helped me really learn how to control how hard I play in order to control my sound. The expensive Casanova I was used to playing on did have settings but to be honest, I never noticed them being nearly as sensitive as this keyboard's.
As far as 'extras' go, you only have reverb and chorus available. To me, that is enough and I usually keep both off but if you're looking to have more of these types of things available, you might do well to avoid this one.
When I was considering this keyboard, I noticed people saying that its predecessor, the PX150, had really terrible speakers. I have no first hand experience of what that model sounded like but I can say that Casio must have taken the criticism seriously because this keyboard has quite loud speakers. For me to just practice, I have the volume knob turned about 1/4 to its max and I get nice sound - anything higher is just too loud for my room. I have no idea how the volume would translate to a public venue nor do I know what it would take to play this in a public venue as I have no experience with performing.
With regards to performing though, this piano is quite light for anyone who is considering taking it around with them. I think it weighs around 25 pounds or so, which I think is considered pretty light for an 88 key.
Finally, mine came with the standard cheap keyboard pedal. I wanted something of a bit more quality so I ordered the M-audio sustain pedal for around 20 dollars which has been quite nice. I wouldn't recommend using the sustain pedal that comes with the keyboard just because it's not really good at all and if you're willing to spend $500 on a keyboard, you should be willing to spend a bit more to have a better playing experience. The piano did not come with a stand so if you're buying this, plan on buying a stand as well - there are more expensive furniture stands that I'm sure would look nice but I've been doing well with my little cheap X stand.
Overall, I was a bit worried at what I was going to be getting for $500 as that is generally considered to be cheap for a quality 88 key digital piano / keyboard. As only a moderately experienced piano player, however, I am so thrilled with this purchase and would wholly make it again if I needed to.
The sounds are OK. The speakers on it won't win any awards, but you can connect it to nicer speakers if you want. It only has three voices: classical piano, modern piano, and electric piano. Really, 99.99% of the time, people just want a classical piano voice, so this is what you want for a home user.
The action is realistically weighted. It's slightly lighter weight than my Kawai but well within normal acoustic piano ranges. If anything, it's probably closer to a typical acoustic piano than my Kawai is. The keys do impact slightly abruptly (bottom out) at the end of a stroke. Certainly more abruptly than my Kawai, but again, within the range of normal for an acoustic piano. i have a slight preference for the Kawai, but it's not a whole universe apart. My kids feel the same way (and of course, my Kawai cost about 15X as much).
The touch curve is very sensitive and not adjustable. You don't have to play very hard for this thing to get pretty strident. This is good for people who have a softer touch, but not for bulls in a china shop, like me. I think it's good for kids...you don't want them injuring themselves playing too hard on the keys.
The pedal that comes with this is pretty poor. It's one of those wide black plastic things. Very unlike that of acoustic pianos. Luckily, you can buy quality pedals that are compatible with this very easily. I would recommend purchasing a better pedal to anyone who buys this.
The connectivity is great for a DP at this price. It connects through USB to do MIDI, it has ports for speakers, headphones and the pedal. What more could you want? This piano also supports high resolution midi (thousands of levels, rather than just 127) which most digital pianos do not. So it would be a good candidate to use with a computer software piano like PianoTeq or Ivory.
It's pretty common for people to ask me for a recommendation for a good digital piano "for the price." In the past I have recommended Yamaha Arius pianos frequently but from now on I'm going to recommend this. For people on a budget, this is the perfect piano. I wouldn't go any lower (or you lose important features like a quality action and the full 88 keys) but this pretty much checks all the boxes for something a home user, beginner, or student would want. Kids should take a piano like this to college with them, for example.
Nice work, Casio.
