#1. About Bang.com
Bang dot com is a one-of-a-kind website because it offers so much “bang for the buck.” Thousands and tens of thousands of uploads, most of which are original, and then there are exclusive sites, too. But isn’t their whole offering like that? No, you do get to view more with non-exclusive offers, too. Suffice it to say that you'll find almost anything you want through the 63 categories available on Bang. From straight, lesbian, and fetish sex to an excellent number of DVDs with shemales, and bisexuals.
The domain name Bang was first registered in 1989, so this network has a long history.
#2. Content Breakdown by Categories
It’s great that Bang breaks down content reliably, but we can do it better.
#3. First Impressions & User Navigation
Is Bang a good and memorable name? It works if you try to type it using your keyword or remember, but then it gets tricky. Do you even expect to yield results while searching for a Bang site review? You must either add the .com ending or use some trickery. The same goes for Evil Angel Studio, which doesn’t just appear at the top when Googling reviews. That’s because a film under the same name exists, and IMDB is one of the most beloved sites.
Naming aside, you’re met with one of the prettiest, outstanding appearances ever. It’s mind-boggling how Bang, appearing far different from everyone else, manages to make it all work. We enjoy premeditated templates that dictate where or how videos should appear, the locations of menus, and so on. Bang takes this formula and switches things around while making it all work. This will not earn them the best porn studio award of the decade, but that’s quite an achievement.
Once your tingling senses get a taste of nudity that is shown at every corner, all thanks to quick-to-load thumbnails, clip previews, and menu contents not hidden behind a paywall, Bang pushes things further. Okay, that was quite a sentence, but there’s every “good” thing out there that we’ve already mentioned. Including true-to-life, honest stats that go deeper than just “videos.” You see how many uploads were added today, when was the last update, how many users Bang has, pornstars, and clips. The only “negative” is the way this studio shows free trailers. They are the short clips you get to see via enlarged thumbnails. Producing tens of thousands of trailers yearly would be quite a challenge, and we’ll forgive Bang for picking this approach.
#3a. Content Filters
Browsing and sorting content on Bang com is a breeze. There are a few sections with various filters, a list of categories, and a pornstar index with tens of thousands of models. Yes, both male and female. Other features include favorites, rating, commenting, a 'watch later' playlist, and the option to jump to a page of your choice when browsing.
While many professionally made porn studios nail or get close to nailing categories, pornstars’ filters are left behind. Bang, on the other hand, doesn’t do that, and while not as perfect as PornWorld filters, the additional sidebars are very much appreciated. Sorting pornstars by ethnicity, eye color, and cup size is welcome. You can also stack these filters and look for specific performers.
#4. Video Player & Streaming Experience
Those two areas are rock solid, too, and don’t distract you (in a bad way) for an overall pleasant experience. I wouldn’t expect any limitations that some low-end studios introduce. Be it the number of streams you can do daily or how many downloads are available. Hell, some even charge you for that.
#4a. Download Options (29-Minute Video)
All Bang videos offer Full HD or 4K streaming and different download options with no limits imposed. Photos are high-resolution, whether viewed online or after downloading ZIP files. Even guests can view all the file sizes and options, which is awesome.
- High - 540p - (498 MB)
- HD - 720p - (690 MB)
- Full HD - 1080p (1.2 GB)
- Ultra Full HD - 2160p (4.01 GB)
#4b. Streaming Options
- Auto, 360p, 540p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, 2160p
#5. Video & Audio Quality
There’s always this quality versus quantity argument, and you might believe that Bang produces junk due to high numbers, but that’s false. Just like how the kings of streaming porn can do it, this studio can as well. You get an overall good set of clips with an occasional glitch. Yes, Bang may suffer from factors “outside” their control. For example, it's not ideal lighting while filming outdoors or overexposing when filming in front of bright windows, so it looks like there’s just a white background in front. Those don’t happen often, and most of their indoor filmed scenes are solid if you don’t mind “bright white” settings, so let’s just be as transparent as jelly here.
- HD - 720p (4000 to 5000 kbps)
- Full HD - 1080p (6000 to 7000 kbps)
- Ultra Full HD - 2160p (18000 to 19000 kbps)
Bang audio bitrates are in the average range, just your regular 128 kbps porn (like everywhere else) followed by better-than-average 4K video bitrates. The average is around 16000 kbps, so they’re pushing the limits. That, by the way, may depend on a studio since there are extra sites, too. If you enjoy Bang clips in any resolution, 4K will make you appreciate and love them even more. This is not the case where the studio’s trashy 4K is of lower quality than the best studios' 1080p.
#6. Porn Content & Performers
For Bang's content, memberships are a mere pittance. You can choose between a 30-day ($29.95) or 180-day plan ($99.95), but check things out with a free 2-day trial. The exclusive originals mentioned above include Real Teens, Confessions, Japan, GlameKore, Gonzo, and Casting. Speaking of originals, those add hundreds of videos (an average scene length of 30 minutes) and the same number of galleries (around 100 photos each). As far as the main portion of the collection goes, you can expect new and old content with plenty of HD videos.
Watching Bang videos is always a treat. They pick the luscious booties and sluts with great assets (sorry for a bad bun) or other features. Since the running time is around 30 to 40 minutes, starting with plots doesn’t make sense. Instead, there could be a Tony “booty shake” kind of a video in the beginning, and then around 5 to 10 minutes later, it’s down to cock sucking, pussy licking, ass fucking with tongue, or whatever else is on the menu. I believe that the cringe factor is sometimes introduced too at the very beginning because not every woman knows how to pose, and it doesn’t help if the first 10 seconds are shot in “silence.”
Once the introduction phase is over, Bang starts shooting straight porn scenes from start to finish, with no more cuts or outros. The performance is always of satisfactory levels, fucking, riding, talking, and moaning; all the “perks” of porn are here. The guys do a good job, too, even if they aren’t known worldwide. Also, like how it’s standard in adult shooting, Bang takes a “moving camera” approach, following actors, zooming in and out for the best angles, and aiming for the best viewer experience.
#6a. Update Frequency
Bang rocks with updates. About a dozen scenes and a few originals are added daily every week. These stats are publicly available, too.
#6b. Porn Directors
I was surprised, but Bang doesn’t mention the directors of any of their uploads. Okay, you might excuse that, but movies? That’s just mean. Especially when sometimes the director can be found on the featured cover. I’d rather have a separate section or tags for the makers of porn, too, not just actors.
#6c. Pornstars
The most popular pornstars of Bang include male studs like Manuel Ferrara, Lexington Steele, Sean Michaels, Evan Stone, and many unknowns. A lot of these “popular” names are no longer shooting with Bang, so you see videos from 3 years ago or so. But if you rank them by time and do recent cuts only, we’re back to “no names,” Thankfully, they fuck good enough for you not to be disappointed.
Speaking of a good fuck, female pornstars are plentiful, and at least half are cute, if not more. Bang hosts sluts that aren’t popular or extremely known in the hardcore porn circles outside the Mofos or RK stratosphere. Therefore, you find new talent that doesn’t bore you to death. But don’t expect new daily videos with all the most demanding sluts of the month,

#7. Bonus Sites
Called “premium channels,” Bang throws some awesome names known for quality but for a price. I'm not sure if you can call them bonuses, to be honest.
#8. Conclusion
This network offers more porn than you’ll ever consume. Then it sweetens the deal with constant updates, 4K resolution, awesome features, and a solid portfolio of lesser-known performers. Unless you don’t like their style of porn, Bang may as well be your sole breadwinner for many months.
