Main trade-off
Casio CDP-S360
The WU-BT10 Bluetooth adapter is optional, not included in the selected base piano.
Head-to-head
Casio CDP-S360 vs Casio PX-S3100: 3100 adds two-person headphones and line outputs, S360 rates longer on battery
The short answer
Choose the PX-S3100 for included Bluetooth, two headphone listeners and dedicated line outputs. Choose the CDP-S360 for an accompaniment-focused setup where a longer rated battery session matters more.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
The same rhythm count hides a different connection bill
Both list 200 rhythms, but the PX-S3100 includes its WU-BT10 wireless adapter. The CDP-S360 needs that accessory separately. If your backing tracks and settings live on a phone, compare the complete package cost before treating the lower base-piano price as the final saving.

About this comparison
Casio CDP-S360 vs Casio PX-S3100: compare headphone sockets, included bluetooth audio reception, dedicated line outputs and the practice routines that change the better choice.
Both offer 700 tones and 200 rhythms in a 232 mm-deep battery-powered body. Their included wireless hardware and output connections are the more useful differences for a real setup.
Winner by situation
Start with what you need it to do
Phone streaming is part of the setup from day one
Both list 200 rhythms, but the PX-S3100 includes its WU-BT10 wireless adapter. The CDP-S360 needs that accessory separately. If your backing tracks and settings live on a phone, compare the complete package cost before treating the lower base-piano price as the final saving.
- Casio CDP-S360
- Good
- Casio PX-S3100
- Better fit
You alternate shared listening and external amplification
The PX-S3100 supplies two headphone connections plus dedicated line outputs. CDP-S360 uses one shared phones/output socket. Count whether the second connection is for a listener or amplification. They are different jobs, and a shared jack can become the bottleneck even with many built-in sounds.
- Casio CDP-S360
- Good
- Casio PX-S3100
- Better fit
You need a longer manufacturer-rated battery session
Casio's alkaline estimates are about four hours for CDP-S360 and two for PX-S3100. Actual use varies. For a player moving to an outlet-free corner, the simpler model's stated runtime may matter more than extra connection hardware. Both keep the same 232 mm bare depth.

You want to record multiple MIDI parts internally
The CDP-S360 lists six tracks and PX-S3100 three. Check each recorder's part rules and save limits for the arrangement.

A teacher and an external speaker need different sockets
The PX-S3100 supplies two headphone connections plus dedicated line outputs. CDP-S360 uses one shared phones/output socket. Count whether the second connection is for a listener or amplification. They are different jobs, and a shared jack can become the bottleneck even with many built-in sounds.

Battery planning may reverse the higher-model choice
Casio's alkaline estimates are about four hours for CDP-S360 and two for PX-S3100. Actual use varies. For a player moving to an outlet-free corner, the simpler model's stated runtime may matter more than extra connection hardware. Both keep the same 232 mm bare depth.

Choice A
Casio, CDP-S360
CDP-S360
The CDP-S360 fits accompaniment, a six-track MIDI recorder and battery operation into a 232 mm-deep body. Budget for the wireless adapter if phone streaming is part of the plan.
- Best matched use
- You need a longer manufacturer-rated battery session
Checked facts
- Headphone sockets: 1
- Included Bluetooth audio reception: No
- Dedicated line outputs: No
- Internal recorder tracks: 6
Choice B
Casio, PX-S3100
PX-S3100
The PX-S3100 puts 200 accompaniment rhythms and a three-track recorder inside the same 232 mm depth as the simpler PX-S1100. Dedicated outputs support a separate speaker setup.
- Best matched use
- Phone streaming is part of the setup from day one
Checked facts
- Headphone sockets: 2
- Included Bluetooth audio reception: Yes
- Dedicated line outputs: Yes
- Internal recorder tracks: 3
Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Casio CDP-S360 | Casio PX-S3100 | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Headphone sockets | 1 | 2 | Count physical listeners and check plug sizes and mode routing before planning a shared session. |
| Included Bluetooth audio reception | No | Yes | Audio reception carries backing music from a supported device, not sound to wireless headphones. |
| Dedicated line outputs | No | Yes | Dedicated outputs keep an external amplification route separate from the headphone sockets. |
| Internal recorder tracks | 6 | 3 | Track allocation and independent overdubbing matter more than a large number alone. |
| Manufacturer battery estimate | About 4 hours under manufacturer conditions | About 2 hours under manufacturer conditions | Manufacturer estimates use their own conditions and do not establish matched runtime. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Casio CDP-S360
- One shared headphone/output socket limits a simultaneous listening and amplification setup.
If you choose Casio PX-S3100
- A half-pedal setup requires the optional SP-34, rather than the included switch.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
You need a longer manufacturer-rated battery session
Choose Casio CDP-S360. Casio's alkaline estimates are about four hours for CDP-S360 and two for PX-S3100. Actual use varies. For a player moving to an outlet-free corner, the simpler model's stated runtime may matter more than extra connection hardware. Both keep the same 232 mm bare depth.
Phone streaming is part of the setup from day one
Choose Casio PX-S3100. Both list 200 rhythms, but the PX-S3100 includes its WU-BT10 wireless adapter. The CDP-S360 needs that accessory separately. If your backing tracks and settings live on a phone, compare the complete package cost before treating the lower base-piano price as the final saving.
You require a verified winner for mechanical key noise or personal playing comfort
Choose neither. The manufacturer records do not provide a matched test for those outcomes. Try the instruments in your intended conditions.
What matters in practice
Before you choose
What this comparison cannot tell you
- The comparison uses documented specifications and conditional setup reasoning. We have not measured key feel, mechanical noise or speaker performance side by side.
- Dimensions describe the specified body or cabinet. Leave room for the rest, cables, bench and player.
- Check the exact Amazon model, color, supplied accessories, condition and delivery date before ordering.
