As far as YouTube niches go, perhaps the most interesting one to open up and dive into is the fascinating (and surprisingly huge) world of unboxing videos. Even if you aren’t super familiar with this genre by name, you’ve probably seen these videos.
A host introduces themselves to viewers and then proceeds to do what every one aged two and above loves to do best… open boxes. That’s kind of all there is to know about unboxing videos, at least in how they are presented.
However, making great unboxing video content is another story. It’s not as simple as it looks. And if you truly want your unboxing videos to stand out against all of the noise, you’re going to want some high-quality, royalty free unboxing video music that provides the soundtrack to your content.
Let’s explore how royalty free music can help your unboxing videos perform better than the rest. We'll also give you some hand-picked playlists and recommendations and provide you with some additional tips to get the most out of your unboxing content.
What are unboxing videos?
Before we dive into some track recommendations and music licensing tips, let’s first go over some of the basic tenets of what makes unboxing videos so popular in the first place. As mentioned above, the concept for unboxing videos is quite simple. It’s just a person opening a box.
Yet, if you watch enough of these types of videos, you start to see that it’s more than that. These unboxing video channels are usually powered either by a charismatic host who makes the experience suspenseful and fun or by a host who is a subject-matter expert and can give lots of insights into the different elements of the unboxing experience and their significance to the whole.
Either way, though, as you can see in the example video above, to get started with unboxing video content, you only need a camera, yourself, and a box. Oh, and you also need the most important element of your production… music.

What is royalty free music?
We’ve mentioned a term here a few times now that we should take a moment to make sure that you’re understanding. “Royalty free music” is a music licensing term which can sound a bit confusing, but it’s really quite simple. Here’s a great primer on what royalty free music means.
To understand how music royalties work, you must understand that all music has basic copyrights. These copyrights extend to both the composer of the music as well as the musicians who recorded the music. And if you want to use any music for short films or other projects, you’ll need to obtain permission from the copyright owners.
Royalty free music can be a great option for all your unboxing videos simply because it’s easy to find and use. Soundstripe’s music is composed and recorded by Grammy-winning artists who know (and truly care) about making great music for all types of films and video content.
