I like Marques a lot personally, but in my experience he is at his best only when it comes to gadget reviews.
His high profile interviews are shockingly shallow and his new car review show "Auto Focus" (ok, that's an amazingly clever name) is also about as in-depth as you'd expect a smartphone guy's car reviews to be.
But again, he's got a great personality and screen presence, I just wish he spends a bit more time on more meaningful thoughts and more in-depth research when it comes to other subjects.
- fermienrico 8y agoI would actually go ahead and say that his gadget reviews are wishy washy, too soft and lacks objectivity. I understand its not supposed to be a full technical analysis but he makes what makes it popular and wide appealing. Especially, his audio gear reviews are full of subjective claims - "It sounds roomy, with crisp highs and thumpy base but not too muddy." They are, to me, utterly and completely useless pieces of information. I'll go and read Anandtech now. I don't fully blame MKBHD. I blame the entire genre of youtube reviews. I need data. I need A-B tests. I need technical specification verification using proper metrology. That's how my brain evaluates things I want to spend money on.
- manigandham 8y agoHis channel is mostly for entertainment by viewers around his age rather than those looking for hard technical analysis. I do think he's much better suited to gadgets than interviews though.
