Back to Product Information
Sound: I have owned and used extensively the following keyboards: Roland E-60, Roland E-09, Korg I30, Korg TR, Ensoniq KS-32, Alesion Fusion, and other Alesis QS-series keyboards. Most of the sounds on the Yamaha PSR-S710 are really good to excellent. I use my keyboards exclusively for performance (no studio recording) and I really like the strings and synths on the S710. I would say strings are on par with Korgs and synths on par with Rolands. I am not into in piano sounds on the non-weighted keys. That's reason I always come back to my Ensoniq KS-32 when piano sounds are needed (some may say outdated Ensoniq piano sounds). The styles are where the S710 out-shines both the Korg I30 and Roland E-60. The arrangements are definitely very good and could easily be used for one-man band performances. I suspect these would also be good for quick composition. Feature: Definitely have a lot of features for my needs. However, since I am not into recording, can't comment on all those features. Consult the specs. Ease of Use: Not too complex but not very easy either. The S710 seems to have too many buttons. While I could figure out the styles and the basic sounds fairly quickly, layering voices took some guesswork (too lazy to read the manual). This could affect the ability to change sounds quickly during live performances. Quality: The S710 is all plastic. For $1,000 this seems to be very cheaply made compared to some of my older boards. What's even more surprising is the S910 bigger brother($1,700) is also plastic. I can't believe Yamaha put so much into these keyboards and then house them in cheap plastic cases. What is even more shocking? The keys! These keys have the worst (and the cheapest) feels of all the keys that I have ever played. In fact, the keys on some Casio and Yamaha student keyboards are even better than the S710/S910. What is Yamaha thinking? Value: The S710 has a lot of features for its price. Although considering its weaknesses as described above, I probably would not buy it. Manufacturer Support: Never try. The Wow Factor: Compared to the nearest competitors, Roland GW-8 and Korg PA500, I probably go with the Roland GW-8 for the keybed feels as well as the more professional looks. I like the styles and arrangements on the both the S710 and PA500, but the PA500 looks just too "un-stylist" and the S710 feels just too cheap. Overall: I've decided to pass on the S710 and keep looking.

Sound: Well I wont say that I haven't seen boards with better sound at this price but S710 comes with reasonably good sounds on the whole. The mega voices sound real different from the rest. The styles are real good in comparison to the early yamys. The maneuvering of styles makes it even better when it comes to tweaking with the on board styles of creating your own. I have got the machine very recently so this much for now. Will come up with more reviews later on.

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
