Carry-on 88 Key White Portable Folding Digital Piano by Blackstar USB MIDI Controller with Rechargeable Battery

Product Information

The speakers aren’t the best in terms of sound quality. Not terrible, but not great. Thankfully the headphone output is clean. The included USB cable charges the keyboard and allows MIDI-via-USB, so it can be used as a MIDI controller for your favorite software. I’ve owned Vangoa VGD-882 for some time now and I can definitely say it’s been a game-changer. I can carry it anywhere by just folding it in half and putting it into its bag. Sometimes even at home, I prefer to play the Vangoa over my Yamaha P-45 because it’s much easier to carry around when I feel like playing in another room.

The speakers work ok, with no more distortion than normal and the headphone port continues to work well, with minimal hiss or distortion. Although the unit has something like 30 built-in demo songs, it has no recording memory. If you want to record, you need to use something external or the midi controller functionality. I don’t think this would be great for someone who is a serious pianist because there are a number of compromises:
