TroyStudio Thick Acoustic Foam Panels, 12 X 12 X 2 Inch 12 Pcs Broadband Sound Absorbing Foam, Dense Soundproof Padding Tile, Recording Studio Foam Absorber, Groove Decorative 3D Wall Ceiling Panel

I expected this to be trash. I needed an add-on to get free overnight shipping and thought why not. My friend use to have a recording studio in the attic where we lived and it was pretty well treated against reflections. He had a nice set up with even bass traps and stuff. Nearly 20k+ equipment in a college dorm. I knew I’d likely never have a setup like that so I got a Shure SM7b, which is a dynamic mic. It has great off-axis rejection on nearly every side except behind. This means it works pretty well in less treated rooms and is good at blocking ambient noise. I used to live in line of an airport and a busy Highway, so that was important. All this to say: I thought these would do nothing, but they immediately reduced reflections. My noise sounds less boxy and almost echo-y. A much dryer, crisp sound. I might buy more of these panels lol. A little goes a long way, but I didn’t really need to stop side reflections. Put a few of these behind and to the side of you and you’ll be surprised. I didn’t soak them in water or wait very long. They immediately popped up and seemed like the right dimensions. I left them a few hours and they looked the same. Basically zero smell. I left them overnight just in case, but they still looked fully expanded and didn’t smell. I used 3M medium command strips to hang them up. They are super light so that might even be overkill. But it was a lot easier and cheaper than spray or double-sided tape. These are a great value and for my purposes did more than enough. If you want something to isolate sound or sound proofing, this is not the product. But if you want to minimize noise bouncing everywhere, this is great. Plan to get a lot more than me if you have a bare room with no furniture or use a condenser mic.

I got this cause my F36 towers are rear ported and I can only have the speakers a foot away from the wall. The air pressure from the port would hit the wall with enough force that it made the wall vibrate causing lots of resonance and making them sound boomy making the sound a bit muddied. And it was real bad in the rooms behind the wall like headache bad. Anyways I tried the egg shaped ones but didn’t do anything then I saw these and gave it a shot. Boy I’m glad I got them. I put them behind the port 4 for each speaker 4 for the subs and they eliminated the problem for the most part. On a scale of 1-10 I say it’s 9.0 I am very happy! It eliminated the resonance making my speakers sound better. When they arrived they were compressed in bags but once I opened one bag they just bursted out lol. You have to buy two sided tape or something equivalent to stick them to the walls. I highly recommend these well worth the money!

1) Not Toxic! I have an Air quality meter and I set these next to it after opening. No bump in either VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) or Formaldehyde (HCHO) levels! These do have a new mattress type smell mixed with the smell of pet food, but maybe they were stored a long time in a factory. It isn't a very strong smell, even with 120 of them unpacked. 2) They do decompress eventually! They took a lot of work to decompress! Leaving them out did not bring them to their full decompressed state. I had to lay flat under sanding water in my sink and get all the air out by pressing down against the bottom of the sink with my palms. Temp of the water didn't effect them. I found I was able to do this 10 at a time which for me was helpful since I have 120 squares. I had to gently wring out each square after getting all the air bubbles out, since the water was soaked up into them like a sponge that wouldn't let go. I left them out thinking they would dry (12 hours ish), but since these trap whatever they absorb for a long time I got impatient and had to put them in the dryer on very low for an hour. each load I did notice the pet food smell when taking them out of the dryer but it wasn't harsh, seems natural ish, or at least inert. Very sensitive people may not like these due to the 'perception of toxicity' which on the scale of 1 to 10 would be around a 3 3) They Hang! Before writing this review I hung 6 on the wall - I didn't use Adhesive, I used long thumb tacks which works for my needs. These are VERY light weight. Essentially, think air conditioner foam light. A part of me wonders if these were blocks of Air Conditioner Foam laser cut and then immediately compressed into plastic for shipping. But I'm not an expert so that's just a theory. 4) I can't speak to sound proofing ability but I feel like these will only help with echo. If I notice a massive difference maybe I will edit my review, but my sound gear wont arrive for about 7.5 years probably (jk). 5) OVER ALL - I LIKE them a LOT. If only just for the futuristic style look! They definitely give a perception of being able to improve my sound quality, so for my dates watching a movie with me that works fine. ;) Final thoughts: The value for money isn't really there. If you can find this style in another product, I would opt for that. I probably wont buy these again unless this style doesn't exist in another more dense product. The time wasted on decompression was money I could have spent elsewhere. Buuuut... the style tho! Ugh - just so cool! :)

I am using the pads on a door both inside and outside the door. Glueing is the challenge. I am using Velcro myself, that way can adjust them too. They are easy to setup overall. They are not true to size they were not quite 12”. I do like the thickness too. Quality is not but and definitely worth the money. Of course it doesn’t soundproof the door but it does lower the decibels.

Buyer BEWARE-- These panels DO NOT come as pictured. They are packaged in vaccumed sealed bags, most of them will NOT inflate to "normal" size once the seal of the vacuum package is open. Most will stay crushed down. I ordered 2 packs of the 52 count. Approx 70 of the 104 needed to be messed with in order to get it looking halfway decent. Needed to take a 5 gallon bucket of water and soak each panel individually, pluck the ribs of the foam back to shape, wring out and then fire them into a clothes dryer for multiple delicate cycles. In all.. maybe 10 of them I deemed to be unusable as the straight rib lines of the foam never would go back straight and were wavy and it looked terrible. Took a afternoon of dunking and air drying, then a afternoon of babysitting the clothes dryer to get them into a spot where they were ready to install. If you think your going to slap these into your wall day 1 after receiving your delivery... Think again. It takes a bunch of fiddling and time to get them looking presentable if you care at all about how it's going to look in your home. For the price they are charging for foam, these should come to you ready to roll. TROYSTUDIO - also reached out thru their website to complain and never heard anything

They came packed well, compressed down to almost nothing, from the air being removed from the bag. One square has two pieces, which pull apart. After letting them sit a while, i cut squares of 3m reusable Velcro and attached them at each corner and the middle of the foam. They are about 5.5mm thick, so the panels come off the door slightly. I may opt for the dots that are available in the future. No idea if they do what they're supposed to do, but they look great all over my room. Definitely going to buy more.

Very light, not dense at all and that does basically nothing to manage the sound. Even though it was at least 2 inches it was just light foam marketed as effective acoustic material. Overall I was disappointed with this purchase and won't buy again. Learned my lesson. I needed real acoustic material that would actually block the sound.

These are a lot "foamier" than I was expecting. I didn't go the route of adhesives in case I change my mind on room design, and instead opted for push tacks that sorta distort and bend the foam in, but overall I am very pleased with the product and how it came out. I ordered the 52 pack and only used about half.

Good

Não é nada igual o que aparece na foto, não isola nada

Basic but that do the job!

I love these panels , so I've decided to treat the whole space. They do expand fine if unpacked and left over night. There is a bit of an odor that dissipates over a few days. I also like how they look on the wall after some 3M tape and some patience.
