The Casio LK-90 keyboard offers a fantastic way to learn and play music, and sometimes you need to practice without disturbing others. Connecting headphones is the perfect solution! This guide will walk you through the simple process of connecting headphones to your Casio LK-90.
Locating the Headphone Jack
The first step, and often the easiest, is finding the headphone jack on your Casio LK-90. This is usually a standard 1/4" (6.35mm) or 1/8" (3.5mm) jack. Take a look at the back and sides of your keyboard. You'll typically find it near the other connection ports, like the power supply or MIDI connections. The jack is often clearly labeled "PHONES" or "HEADPHONES".
Different Jack Sizes: What to Do
-
If you have 1/8" (3.5mm) headphones: These are the most common type of headphones. If your LK-90 has a 1/4" jack, you will need a 3.5mm to 6.35mm (1/8" to 1/4") adapter. These are inexpensive and readily available at most electronics stores or online.
-
If you have 1/4" (6.35mm) headphones: These are less common for personal listening but are standard for some professional setups. If your LK-90 uses a smaller jack, you’ll need the opposite adapter – a 6.35mm to 3.5mm (1/4" to 1/8") adapter.
Connecting Your Headphones
Once you've located the correct jack and obtained any necessary adapters, connecting your headphones is straightforward.
- Ensure your keyboard is powered off. This is a crucial safety step to prevent accidental damage.
- Plug your headphones into the headphone jack. If using an adapter, make sure it’s securely connected to both your headphones and the keyboard jack.
- Turn on the keyboard. You should hear the sound coming through your headphones. If not, double-check that everything is securely connected.
Troubleshooting Connection Issues
- No sound: Verify that the headphones are working correctly with another device. Check all connections – the headphone jack, any adapters, and the headphone plug itself. Ensure the volume on both the keyboard and headphones is turned up.
- Weak sound: Try a different pair of headphones. A problem might exist with the headphones themselves, rather than the connection to the LK-90.

With your headphones connected, you can now enjoy playing your Casio LK-90 without disturbing those around you. Practice anytime, anywhere, and focus on perfecting your skills.
