The catch
Casio CDP-S360
The selected base piano does not include the WU-BT10 Bluetooth adapter, which is optional.
Side by side
Casio CDP-S360 vs Casio PX-S3100: 3100 comes with two-person headphones and line outputs, and S360 rates longer on battery
Quick verdict
The PX-S3100 is the choice for included Bluetooth, two headphone listeners and dedicated line outputs. The CDP-S360 fits an accompaniment-focused setup in which a longer rated battery session counts for more.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Matching rhythm counts conceal a different bill for connectivity
Each lists 200 rhythms, yet only the PX-S3100 comes with its WU-BT10 wireless adapter. For the CDP-S360, that accessory is bought separately. If your backing tracks and settings live on a phone, compare the cost of the complete package before counting the lower base-piano price as the final saving.
Where this comes from
Accompaniment styles: CDP-S360 200, PX-S3100 200. Included Bluetooth audio reception: CDP-S360 No, PX-S3100 Yes. bluetoothOptional: CDP-S360 Yes, PX-S3100 Not established in the checked record. This is a conditional workflow inference drawn from these documented inputs. There is no matched performance measurement.
The catch
Casio PX-S3100
The manufacturer estimates about two hours on alkaline batteries, under its stated conditions.

What this page compares
Casio CDP-S360 vs Casio PX-S3100, compared on headphone sockets, included Bluetooth audio reception and dedicated line outputs, plus the practice routines that decide the better choice.
A 232 mm-deep battery-powered body carries 700 tones and 200 rhythms on both. In a real setup, the more useful differences are the included wireless hardware and the output connections.

You switch between shared listening and external amplification
Two headphone connections and dedicated line outputs come with the PX-S3100. The CDP-S360 has one shared phones/output socket. Work out whether the extra connection is meant for a listener or for amplification. Those are different jobs, and a shared jack can become the bottleneck no matter how many built-in sounds there are.

You need a battery session that the manufacturer rates as longer
Casio estimates about four hours on alkaline batteries for the CDP-S360 and two for the PX-S3100, and real use will vary. If you are heading to a corner without an outlet, the simpler model's stated runtime may count for more than the extra connection hardware. Bare depth is the same 232 mm on both.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Casio CDP-S360 | Casio PX-S3100 | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Headphone sockets | 1 | 2 | Before you plan a shared session, count the actual listeners and check plug sizes and mode routing. |
| Included Bluetooth audio reception | No | Yes | What audio reception brings in is backing music from a supported device. It does not send sound to wireless headphones. |
| Dedicated line outputs | No | Yes | With dedicated outputs, the route to external amplification stays apart from the headphone sockets. |
| Internal recorder tracks | 6 | 3 | A large number by itself counts for less than track allocation and independent overdubbing. |
| Manufacturer battery estimate | About 4 hours under manufacturer conditions | About 2 hours under manufacturer conditions | Each manufacturer estimate rests on its own conditions, so none establishes a matched runtime. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Casio CDP-S360
- One shared socket for headphones and output rules out listening and amplifying at the same time.
With Casio PX-S3100
- The included switch will not do half-pedaling. For that you need the optional SP-34.
Change of plan
When the answer changes
You need a battery session that the manufacturer rates as longer
Go with Casio CDP-S360. Casio estimates about four hours on alkaline batteries for the CDP-S360 and two for the PX-S3100, and real use will vary. If you are heading to a corner without an outlet, the simpler model's stated runtime may count for more than the extra connection hardware. Bare depth is the same 232 mm on both.
Your setup includes phone streaming from day one
Go with Casio PX-S3100. Each lists 200 rhythms, yet only the PX-S3100 comes with its WU-BT10 wireless adapter. For the CDP-S360, that accessory is bought separately. If your backing tracks and settings live on a phone, compare the cost of the complete package before counting the lower base-piano price as the final saving.
You need a verified winner on mechanical key noise or on personal playing comfort
Neither model fits. Manufacturer records contain no matched test for those outcomes. Try the instruments under the conditions you intend to play in.

What this page can’t tell you
- This comparison rests on documented specifications and conditional reasoning about your setup. We have not put key feel, mechanical noise or speaker performance side by side and measured them.
- The dimensions given are for the specified body or cabinet. Allow space as well for the rest, cables, bench and player.
- Before you order, verify the exact Amazon model, color, supplied accessories, condition and delivery date.
