The powered battery is convenient for anyone who wants to move the Yamaha YPT 255 from place to place because it doesn’t limit the length of a cord.

Auto Power-Off Function

Meanwhile, the ultra-wide stereo settings take responsibility for digitally processing the audio to produce more massive sounds through the built-in speakers.

Let you use the one-touch setting for choosing presets or modify settings to adjust a lot of features and sounds at the same time.

Transpose Function

If you want to play along with other musicians, vocalists, and songs, this transpose function will help you adjust the tone of the instrument by semitones. Portable Grand button, for example, can produce the sound of an acoustic grand piano.

AWM Stereo Sampling

AWM stereo sampling is a fantastic function for any entry level beginner keyboard because it can offer a convincing sound when using the Portable Grand button. Although it is not the highest-quality sampling of a Yamaha piano, it’s good enough for a keyboard in a reasonable price range.

Accessories

When buying the Yamaha YPT 255, you have all the essential things in a package. Thus, after unboxing, you can play in minutes. Now, please take a look at the accessories:

Samson HP30 Closed-Cup Headphones

These headphones are designed with padded headband and earcups, so you will feel as comfortable as possible even when wearing all day long.

They can meet the heaviest demands about sounds because of their excellent loudness, a broad frequency range for high clarity and fidelity in a wide range of tones.

SXKS Standard Keyboard Stand

If you want to upgrade to a bolt-on stand, let’s check the SXKS Standard Keyboard Stand:

This stand is made from steel material, holding up to 130 pounds.

Depending on your height, you can adjust to a suitable height because there are five levels of height adjustment from 25.25 to 38.75 inches.

The rubber end caps of the stand helps you prevent the whole piano away from slipping and shifting. Especially, these items can keep your floors away marking and scuffing.

The design allows you to fold down, so you can easily transport this eight-pounds stand everywhere.

Comparison Of Yamaha PSR E253 Vs YPT 255

I make this comparison since many people think that they are the same. I’d like to deny the information: they have some similar features, but different designs and layouts.

First, when it comes to the overall dimensions, both of them are compact and lightweight, suiting beginners who need something simple to start.

The on-board controls and connectors of both are similar. Some of the buttons are color-coded for easier and intuitive operation.

Plus, they have added a pair of 2.5W speakers for better practices.

Yamaha ypt 255 vs psr e253 have a 61-key touch-sensitive compact keyboard, which can’t play like a real piano, but you can add a few realism while playing.

They have a 32-note polyphony that is good enough for beginners and intermediate players.

These pianos have duo mode to split the whole keyboard into two parts. Each part has an aux input, connecting an external audio device, 13 drums, 372 voices, SFX kits, and a recorder.

The design is the most significant difference in these pianos. The almost entirely back body of Yamaha PSR E253 makes it more elegant and professional, especially its keyboard looks better than the actual price. Meanwhile, Yamaha YPT 255 is designed with a white center panel, which doesn’t look as classy as another.
