Top 15 YouTube Unboxing Channels – Youtube Unboxing Influencers

You might wonder what’s so special about a YouTube unboxing video. Why would anyone be interested in somebody taking something out of a box? However, unboxing videos are seriously popular. One unboxing video that shows the toys inside Disney-themed Kinder Eggs has attracted more than 35 million views.

Quite a few channels feature unboxing videos. Some of these are specialist YouTube unboxing channels. However, many more mix unboxing videos with review videos.

Unboxing videos have become a surprisingly lucrative genre on YouTube. They also cover a wide range of products. The two most popular types of YouTube unboxing videos, however, are those featuring toys, and those focusing on new electronic gadgets.

Compared to more creative video types, unboxing videos are easy to make. Often the contents of the boxes will be more sophisticated than the filmmaker’s equipment.

It is not surprising that unboxing videos for expensive gadgets are well loved. We all have a natural aversion to wasting our money. We would rather see somebody else use a new device first, possibly pointing out any flaws, before we risk the money ourselves.

You will find unboxing videos for many different types of electronic goods – not just the latest phones from Apple or Samsung. You will even find unboxing videos online for items as diverse as coffee machines and blenders.

Some unboxing videos are educational. You can find videos on YouTube opening up makeup kits and showing you how to use the contents.

Unboxing videos of toys are particularly popular. It can be hard as a kid, deciding which toy you want, particularly if your parents demand you choose just one. Unboxing videos give kids a chance to decide which toy they want as their first priority.

Just like with other genres, the best unboxing YouTube channels rely on the personality of the presenters. These YouTubers aim to make entertaining videos so that their followers return to watch future unboxing videos. It does mean, though that each site tends to specialize in a particular type of product. Those looking for an iPhone unboxing video are unlikely to be interested in the Disney-themed Kinder Eggs video review, no matter how popular it is.


Top 15 YouTube Unboxing Channels - Youtube Unboxing Influencers:


1. Ryan Toys Review

Ryan Toys Review is a favorite YouTube channel. Its videos show a young boy (presumably Ryan) unpacking and playing with a new toy. They are unscripted videos and rely on Ryan’s genuine reaction to the toy he has just unboxed. One (or both) of his parents usually join him, as more recently have his younger sisters.

The videos can be quite entertaining, as Ryan gives an honest opinion, as only kids tend to do.

You might want to be careful about letting your kids watch the channel, however. Ryan has now amassed far more toys than the average kid has, and he could set up unrealistic expectations from your young one, wanting as big a collection.

Ryan’s videos make highly effective ads for the makers of the toys he unboxes – as long as he likes their toy, of course.


2. Unbox Therapy

The focus of Jacques Slade’s YouTube channel is different from everybody else on this list. While the rest may be unboxing gadgets or toys, Jacques is unboxing sneakers.

The channel is broader than just that, however; it offers daily updates and reviews on sneakers, as well as some videos on sports, music, entertainment, technology. However, sneakers are the primary focus and sneak into most of the videos in some way. Jacques has found, though, that his viewers resist his attempts to move his channel too far from his sneaker focus. “If you’re doing reviews on music and no one’s watching those videos, you kind of have to stay in your lane. As a business, you have to listen to the customer to an extent.”

His most successful video was when he filmed a trip to Michael Jordan’s house.
