I didn't find his voice annoying.  But there again you should hear some british accents.  Try listening to a scouse accent for a few mins :)

Great video though. He's grown on me after watching a few of his vids. I've gotten used to his Joe Mangel/Steve Irwin accent now, it's no worse than Welsh at least. ;)

I find a lot of his older vids are better. his teardown of the train PA system is really good, very interesting vid as he has the original designer (his friend) there too. some of the compromises are crazy!

sounds like anyone else from sydney to me. i dont find it annoying.


I tried watching it but I just couldn't handle the voice, it was so bloody annoying. The voice reminded me of that comedian who did the Chopper parodies.

All I can say is that thankfully people in the parts of Sydney I have been don't sound like that.

I found the video very interesting thanks for sharing. I understand why some people find his voice irritating, but I think he is just trying to lighten up his videos and I don't find it particularly annoying, he actually reminds me a bit of the late Steve Irwin. :)

For those that can't handle any eccentricity should check out the A500  teardown from "nathandumontdotcom" which is also a good teardown video.

It's an accent, who cares???
We all have accents that are annoying to someone, I'm sure...

I've always liked his channel...

Good info...

Mildly inaccurate, but the accent is fine. Y'all don't understand that those of us from the southern US hear different accents from minute to minute.  No one has the same accent and if we got upset over a different one, we would be constantly pissed.
