I agree! I just discovered this channel tonight for this review. So clever! Unqiue informative and funny. By far the best review tech review I've seen on youtube yet. Must follow channel indeed. Well played @Bert Reviews 👏🏼
As a headphone freak and Koss fan I can’t believe I’ve never stumbled across your channel before, RUclips’s algorithms suck! Keep doing what you’re doing, really funny, really informative, and obviously quite different from the other reviewers on here.
I feel like I should've had this channel recommended to be once I've watched Techmoan. I guess I'm just associating this channel with Techmoan because of the puppets lol.
i'm sure these videos took a long time to make, but boy am i glad this exists. didn't expect to find so much enjoyment from a five year old headphone review. still can't wrap my head around all the detail, writing, puppetry…
Wow, it's an absolutely absurd this channel does not have more subs and views. I rarely leave comments on youtube, but the level of production quality and detail in the review is so fucking amazing that I had to commend you on it! This video has convinced me to give these a purchase, and learning about the history of the product was also a fantastic touch. Also, not to mention some parts were funny as hell!
Easiest 'to subscribe or not to subscribe' decision I've ever made. Seriously this was probably the most informative yet entertaining review I've ever seen. Keep it up! Your channel deserves serious growth.
speaking a person born in the 80's this was a fantastic watch. Great history lesson on Koss and great information. Looking forward to your future content. Great job!
Back in 1984, the Porta Pros cost between 150 and 200 bucks (inflation-adjusted). For 40$ in 2023, the sound is top-notch. I love the futuristic design, even though I didn't experience that decade. Thanks for the effort, Bert!
POST MORE OFTEN!!! I know that you have a life and all but I'mm a huge headphone junkie and you're the only one with a sense a humor on your videos and a interesting theme. Bert reviewing headphones? I never thought of that. Like can you try weekly updates? That'll be nice. Im not forcing you or anything. Just a recommendation.
I respect you man this editing and script is not only entertaining but it’s also informative I think you deserve much more than u have right now respect bro respect keep it up your channel will grow if you keep this up I promise
Thanks man, I so appreciate it. Have a month off work coming soon, so I will spend that time working on videos. Thanks for watching and for your comment, I will keep making more!
I am amazed at the quality that this review turned out to be. Truly ingenious and out of the box format. But imagine my surprise when I went to binge watch rest of the channel only to find that you haven't uploaded in a year! I'd imagine making these videos must be a lot of work and the amount of views in return are definitely not doing them justice. It would be a shame if this channel was to die out. I would highly encourage broadening the audience by reviewing more consumer grade products. I personally would love to see your take on true wireless earphones or even some other tech products like smartphones. Anyway, I have rambled enough! I really liked your videos and wanted to let you know. I hope that you're doing well and good luck!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Yes it’s an incredible amount of work, I am just one person so it takes time. I have actually started and am working on several headphone videos. I truly love doing this, and think about it all the time when I am not working in it. Appreciate that you and other people like channel, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I will be back!
This is an amazing video! Lots of history, comedy and of course headphones! A wonderful break from the barrage of typical snobby/boring headphone reviews. Subbed!
Gonna have to drop a sub just because of the work you put in with the characters. Keep it up. It takes time to build a channel. edit: you had the porta pros on backwards the whole time.....
Thanks, really appreciate that, and your support. Yes my mistake, they were on backwards only part of the time in this video on the mannequin head, but they were recorded properly on left and right channels. Ever since this video I’ve really watched for that. So many things going on while filming, and I’m just one guy doing all this; you learn as you go!
Used the PortaPros through out my youth. Love them! This video made me want to buy myself a pair. Never noticed this before, but they are shaped like a note when you see it in profile. Clever 😁
You're right, all these years and I hadn't noticed the note shape! They were part of my youth too, seems a lot of us grew up with them. They are still excellent, even today I don't think there is anything better at this price.
I was searching for reviews on this pair and found this video and I really liked it, it's very informative on the history of Koss and pretty entertaining as well! Keep up the great work!
What a great channel. You're really talented, and I hope you get back to making content. These videos have a sweetness and sense of humor that truly takes me back to my childhood, combined with content that interests me as an adult. Thank you.
Thanks so much; I’ve been asking myself why I enjoy making videos and you described it so perfectly , it is all about those sweet memories from childhood mixed with the adult fun of the headphone hobby. Comments like yours really motivate me to make more videos. Very glad you enjoy the channel; thank you 😊
@@bertreviews I find your headphones reviews with Sesame Street characters to be some of the most moving videos I've ever seen on RUclips, and I've been on here a long while.
Hey Bert, your review made me purchase some Porta's. Best review ever, solid information and a magnificent Santa/Arnold character. Hope you can start doing reviews again. Bbbeast of a Reviewer, Neggsflics material B. You always have a saved table at Chang's.
This helped me choose a pair of headphones for my sony walkman tps l2. I bought them after watching and I love them. Your videos are such high quality the best headphones reviews I've seen. Hope you keep making these you definitely deserve more subscribers.
This entertaining and informative review was a delightful find. Love the humor and fun history lesson. This brought back so many memories. I can't imagine how much work this was go put together, but I'm so glad you did. Porta Pros (and their KSC75 siblings) are great and totally deserve the long market life they've enjoyed. I like how Bert and friends interact. The voices are fun. The "Santinator" sounds like he's straight out of Austria. And you nailed the actual technical review elements for me. And thanks for the shortcuts in the description. Your obvious long-term experience in the industry is going to be a great advantage for you as a reviewer. I can tell I'm going to anticipate every new review from you. A+
i’m super late to the game but i just bought a pair of porta pro’s and have been watching reviews on them, but this one is the most charming and informative one by far!!
But no seriously man your videos are SO SO SO SO GOOOD. And hilariously written! Hahaha, when Santa started monologuing about the 80s? Bro I was fuckin dying laughing. You’re vids keep getting better and more creative too! Don’t think we don’t notice! All the effects, history, and just ugh! I’m geekin over these vids haha. Diamond in the rough of RUclips. Maybe I should post this to Reddit! Should I?
Wow, thanks so much! Comments like this mean a lot, appreciate the support!! Sure if you want to post on Reddit that's cool. Thanks and I will keep working on more videos!
Thanks , that was fun. I can Imagine all the hard work going into this,thanks again. I adore people that put innovative effort into their presentation. Actually Im a little worried about the wire. Its the thinnest i´ve ever seen for a headphone. I Imagine it only takes a minor move to break it . Despite that I keep bying them over and over again. Maybe I should take use of the lifetime warranty ,Receits are getting lost.
I'm really glad I came across this video... I feel like this is the kind of homemade video RUclips was made for. Thanks for making this review and I hope you and your puppets are doing well sir!
They may look and feel fragile, but I had mine for around 15 years and they survived various falls without much issue. Their main Achilles heel are the ear pads, which will disintegrate after a couple of years of regular use, but KOSS sells replacements for around $5 for 3 pairs.
Thanks, I am working on more! They take some time to do, and I have a full-time job...but I work on the videos every day; working on the next one. Thanks and hope you keep watching!
Love your videos man. So so so so good! If you blow up and get the recognition these vids deserve I hope you don’t get copy striked by whoever owns Sesame Street! 😂
What an interesting review! Loved the historical perspective of the video! I aprecciate the audio demos, while theyre not accurate, theyre very representative, i was quite surpised on how full-bodied they sounded in comparision to the MDR-1!
Sound Demos
▶️ Sony MDR-1: 17:58
▶️ Koss PortaPro: 18:35
▶️ PortaPro vs MDR-1: 19:12
This is the best audio review I have ever seen. Your channel is going to grow quickly if you keep this up.
Thanks, I seriously appreciate it! Really glad you liked it!
I agree! I just discovered this channel tonight for this review. So clever! Unqiue informative and funny. By far the best review tech review I've seen on youtube yet. Must follow channel indeed. Well played @Bert Reviews 👏🏼
Never have I been this convinced about a pair of headphones. THIS is how you do a headphone review.
As a headphone freak and Koss fan I can’t believe I’ve never stumbled across your channel before, RUclips’s algorithms suck!
Keep doing what you’re doing, really funny, really informative, and obviously quite different from the other reviewers on here.
I really agree with that, been looing at reviews for this model and took long enough to find this one...
I feel like I should've had this channel recommended to be once I've watched Techmoan. I guess I'm just associating this channel with Techmoan because of the puppets lol.
Headphones review with touch of a history lesson. I'm loving this. Your video quality is just off the roof!
Thank you! I’ve just been around headphones for many years 🙂 Appreciate your comment, thanks for watching!
Thanks algorithm for bringing me here. This is easily one of the best review channels I have found in a long while. May it upload again someday
This is by far, the cutest, fun and most entertaining product review I have ever seen! Thanks Bert!!
Thank you!
i'm sure these videos took a long time to make, but boy am i glad this exists. didn't expect to find so much enjoyment from a five year old headphone review. still can't wrap my head around all the detail, writing, puppetry…
Thanks for the comment, yeah it's quite a bit of work as I'm only one person but it's so much fun at the same time
Came for a headphones review. Stayed for a show. Well done man
How is this channel not bigger? I'm really, really impressed by the production quality and attention to detail. Subscribed!
Thanks for subscribing and your support! 🙂
This review is so charming and entertaining. Really love the history angle. And of course, the puppets. Please please please make more!
Wow thank you, I very much appreciate it. I’ll be back, Leon!
metal571 brought me here. You have a hidden gem of a channel mate. Good luck!
Thank you my friend! Hope you will stick around for more videos 🙂
This channel is unbeatable
One of my favorite headphones ever. Even better with the parts express mini stereo headband and Yaxi pads. I could sell everything and live with it
Yes! I love the orange ones, very 80s! How you doing, buddy? So nice to see you here!
@@bertreviews Hanging in there, life is better when I don't have to worry about my "real" job and YT at the same time that's for sure
deeply underrated channel and im just 30 seconds in
Thank you!
omg so entertaining ! pure gold.
I love stulbling on underrated gems like your channel.
Wow, it's an absolutely absurd this channel does not have more subs and views.

As a fellow being from the year 1986 I thoroughly enjoyed this review . . .

What an awesome review! A lot time and effort clearly went into this.
Sometimes I discover content that is so great I have to stop watching otherwise Ill break out in tears of joy. I need more of this.
Lol, Thanks! 🙂

I completely agree here. I love the historical info on the headphones. I actually have these but not from the 80s. I wonder how much they changed
Most likely the best audio review ever, entertaining, fun and informative, fantastic work!!!

Nunca crei recibir una review de una marioneta, joder que buen video ❤
Entertaining AND informative. Wish a lot of reviewers are like this. Some just talk to no end and I get extremely bored after a while.
Really suprised this channel isnt more popular
You might be lucky it's not. Unless I'm missing something it seems like a cease and desist waiting to happen.
Please make videos again, they are so great 😃
i just got these on amazon with no research and this video make me feel better about my impulse decision
Bert is the man. So much knowledge and production. Thank you Sir!
Thanks!!
My new favourite review channel, i thoroughly enjoyed this.
This is how all reviews video's should be shown!!!! This made me laugh so hard I cried!!!!
This is an amazing video! Lots of history, comedy and of course headphones! A wonderful break from the barrage of typical snobby/boring headphone reviews. Subbed!
This is such a gem! great show!
Gonna have to drop a sub just because of the work you put in with the characters. Keep it up. It takes time to build a channel.

this was such an entertaining review. great work!
OMG, I almost fell out of my chair here at the office when you showed how they fold.
I got my first pair in 86 ..I still own 3 pairs. :) I also had the Koss version of the Walkman .
This is awesome! I hope you do more. Stay safe.
Watching this review while wearing Porta Pro X. So much production value.
Killer headphone! Love your videos!
