50 Pack Acoustic Foam Panels 1" x 12" x 12" Sound Proof Foam Panles Soundproofing Noise Cancelling Wedge Panels for Home Office Recoding Studio with 300PCS Double-Side Adhesive

Before buying these, I read pretty much all of the reviews. Most were positive, but there were some negatives. I bit the bullet and ordered them. They're up, and here are my thoughts:1. People complained that many of their tiles never expanded. Yes, they come squished tightly together in vacuum sealed bags, and that flattens them rather effectively. However, I immediately dampened my tiles under the faucet, wrung them out, and ran them through the laundry drier. They popped right into shape. No issues. There were some that were more squashed than others, and I set those aside to see what they did on their own. Two or three hours after unpacking, they weren't quite as thick as the ones I dampened and dried, but still about 90 percent back to their intended thickness. They were fully expanded the next day. Considering the instructions say to give them a day or two, that's pretty good in my book.2. Others say their tiles smelled weird. Mine didn't. At all. No smell that I could detect.3. A handful of reviews claim their tiles were cut at wonky angles. Mine were perfect squares. I ordered the 50 pack and all 50 have 90 degree corners.4. More than a few said the double-sided tape for hanging up the tiles didn't work for them. I have had zero issues so far. I think it depends on (a) how much pressure you use in pressing the tape to the intended surface, and (b) the type and cleanliness of the surface you're sticking them to. Tape sticks better to some surfaces and not so well to others. In my case, the surface is raw cedar paneling. Also, if there's any dust or smoke residue on your walls, the tape won't adhere to it very well. So I'd strongly suggest making sure the surface is clean before trying to stick things to it. And give the tape a good hard press when applying it to the wall. It helps ensure adhesion to both the hanging surface and the tile.5. Some reviewers complained that the tiles don't block sound. News flash -- acoustic paneling isn't meant to STOP sound. That's what wall insulation is for. It may help DEADEN sound, but that's it. I bought mine for a 6x8 recording studio. I have curtains, soft furniture, and a thick area rug to help deaden sound and cut echo, but the cedar panel ceiling was echoing and I had to eliminate that. I started with 25 panels on the ceiling above my recording equipment. That equals two thirds of the ceiling. As soon as they were up, I recorded a minute or two of test audio, and voila -- the echo was almost completely eliminated. Not bad, if you ask me. I plan on putting up the rest, but I'm done for now. I'll update when I have the rest of the setup completed.For my initial impression, I'm giving it 5 stars.UPDATE: 1 week later, here's my report. The day after installing the tiles, one of the tile had a corner come loose. I pressed it back up and it stayed. No adhesion issues since. I have also tiled the rest of the ceiling and my echo issues seem to be pretty much eliminated. So my 5-star rating remains intact.

Looks great in my office, I got the color black. They also come with the adhesive to place it on you walls. My sound quality is a lot better with these installed l, so now the sound doesn't bounce around now. They were also easy to install. Very functional & durable. The panels themselves aren't that thick 1'. If they were you would be ordering something more expensive. So for the price, for regular everyday person. These are perfectly fine, and I am extremely happy with my purpose.

Focusound 50 Pack Acoustic Foam Panels: Enhance Your Sound Environment with Quality, Though Adhesive Can Be TrickyFocusound's 50 Pack Acoustic Foam Panels offer impressive sound absorption capabilities that have noticeably improved the acoustics in my home studio. The panels effectively reduce echoes and reverberations, creating a more professional and pleasant sound environment for recording and listening.The foam panels themselves are high quality and dense, providing excellent noise reduction without being overly thick or cumbersome. They are easy to handle and cut if necessary, allowing for customization to fit specific room dimensions or design preferences.However, while the foam panels themselves are fantastic, the sticky adhesive backing provided with the panels leaves something to be desired. The adhesive is not very strong and can be difficult to apply evenly. Some panels didn't stick well initially, requiring additional adhesive to secure them properly to the walls.Despite this minor drawback with the adhesive, once properly installed, the Focusound acoustic foam panels have made a significant difference in the sound quality of my studio space. They are a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to improve acoustics without breaking the bank. With a bit of patience and additional adhesive, these panels deliver on their promise of enhancing sound clarity and reducing unwanted noise.

I wish I had read the lower star reviews before purchasing this "Best Seller"Let's break down the listing:"80 Pack Acoustic Foam Panels 1" x 12" x 12"" (Mostly )True: they are 12 inch by 12 inch and the ones I received were cut straight unlike the ones other reviewers received. The one inch deep dimension is debatable. The way these are cut is not the same as what is shown in some of the pictures, the groove bottom is VERY thin. Note the pic on this review that shows how much light can shine through these."Sound Proof Foam Panles Soundproofing Noise Cancelling" FALSE. I should have known from the typos to stay away from this product. Using a decibel meter I tested these panels and even doubled them up: the reduction or "noise cancelling" barely registered (around 5% reduction when using TWO panels back-to-back with the wedge pattern offset). These absolutely will not soundproof anything. Other reviewers state that they will reduce an echo in a room, but literally any other textile would do the same thing. Buy some curtains: it would look better and cost you less. Wedge Panels for Home Office Recoding Studio with 420PCS Double-Side AdhesiveSure, they are wedge shaped and panels. (then yet another typo) I am one of the many reviewers that also did not get the adhesive stickers in the shipment, I'd think that you're going to need more than 400 stickers as these are very thin, which leads them to being not rigid. I could easily see there being issues with them peeling and falling off of walls. (IF you even get the adhesive)If you still want to try them yourself: be aware that these are sealed in vacuum bags that have all the air removed from them and are incredibly compressed. The moment you unseal them they will expand multiple times over and will be a nightmare to repackage and return.
