Acoustic Foam 12 Pack Set, 1" X 12" X 12" Sound Proofing Panels, Acoustic Foam Panels for Recording Studio Office Home

I've used these sound proof foam panels in my boat engine bay just to quite it all down a bit, great seller, great product

These are NOT great! Think as pencil. Just buy pencils

good quality, worked well for what I needed for soundproofing a compressor box, good adhesive, easy to install, look like they should

To address a couple of points in previous reviews: First, these tiles do come vacuum packed and do need time/help to fully expand - about 25% of mine needed the wash/dry treatment to plump up but once done they have been fine. Second, THESE ARE NOT FOR SOUND PROOFING. Acoustic tiles like these are used to manage the internal sound reflection in a room - they will do next to nothing to prevent sound travelling between rooms or other spaces. Don't buy them if what you actually want is sound insulation! As to the tiles themselves, they are clearly budget items. Compared to more "professional" acoustic tiles the foam is considerably less dense reducing their effectiveness. They are also not entirely square, but not in a predictable way, so they are hard to arrange in a grid on backing boards without them becoming out of line. I was going to knock a mark off for each of these issues but on reflection these are still reasonably effective and way cheaper than pro-grade stuff so I'm giving them four stars as they still represent reasonable value at the price.

Looks alright. You would think foam would be cheaper but I will see if it is actually worth it. Very light and compact. Only 10 out of 12 resized. 10/12 probably aren't enough to do much for the sound of a room, incoming or outgoing. Haven't tried yet. Will try when I get a small fridge for my room soon. If you don't have a tumble dryer, a blowdryer works just fine. You'll have to put it pretty close to the foam but it is definitely heat resistant so it'll be okay, however your carpet its on is definitely not so don't heat it up on the floor or the heat will pass through the foam and you might just melt your cheap carpet. Will test the fire resistance on the damaged pads soon.

These are great acoustic tiles! I read the reviews which mentioned hints and tips of how to get them puffed up and installed. I put them in the sink with hot water to get them all puffed up because they arrive very very flat. They puffed up beautifully. I wrung them out. Then my strong husband wrung them out. I put them in the tumble dryer, 6 at a time for 20 minutes on medium heat. Still a bit too wet to put up and with the electricity costing gazillions these days, I then placed them before the fire because I needed them installed pronto for a voice-over recording session in the morning. I think if I had also wrapped them in a towel and pressed more moisture out that would have helped but i didn't. One person mentioned using builder's caulk to install them but that didn't work well for me. Spray contact adhesive is your absolute best friend here, I promise! Spray the wall and the tile, wait about 15 -20 seconds then fit the tile. Instant deadening begins! For my particular use, I placed the tiles around where I am speaking and on the ceiling above where I am speaking. I think I will buy another packet at some point just to fill in a few spaces but you don't really need many. It made a big difference to the quality of the sound. I remember one acoustic specialist saying that some deadening is better than none! I can vouch for that. These tiles are nice and thick and very very easy to put up.

Bought this 12 Pack Set of Acoustic Foam Panels hoping to improve the sound quality in my home studio, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. The foam material is practically useless for dampening sound; it doesn't absorb or reduce noise in any noticeable way. If you’re expecting professional-grade soundproofing, this product isn’t it, hence the low price-tag. Your money is best spend on something a bit more expensive. While the adhesive backing is strong, it’s too strong. Once the tiles are on the wall, they’re nearly impossible to remove without ripping chunks of paint or drywall off. So not only does the product fail at its primary purpose, but it also causes lasting damage to your walls if you try to take it down. ==Overall Review== Advantages: Adhesive is very strong, so the tiles stay put. Disadvantages: Foam material does nothing to dampen or absorb sound. Impossible to remove without ruining walls. Poor quality for any studio or soundproofing purposes. In conclusion, I cannot recommend these Acoustic Foam Panels to anyone looking for effective soundproofing. They’re a waste of money and could leave you with costly wall repairs. -Shaker

Came flat as expected, even the expensive ones come vacuumed pack other wise they would need a lorry to deliver them. Left them out for 2 hours then installed with double sided tape and it insulated my cabinet very well i cant hear the filter inside at all. Dont listed to the bad reviews people expecting gold for barely any money.
