Acoustic Foam Panels, Recording Studio Acoustical Treatments Foam Panels – 2 Inch Thick 12x12 (24 Pack) | Sound Observing Soundproofing Fireproof Wall Foam Tiles | For Studio Office (Black)

These are as described. If you are expecting professional acoustics with 24 pieces of foam you are not logical. They look good and the colors are nice. The blue is a little lighter than the picture. I used command strips to attach them to my wall. They are not all perfect squares but if you are mounting them they are foam and you can make them perfect by putting them together tightly. Also if they don’t expand run them through water. Agitate them slightly and they will be good to go!!

I ordered 96 panels, they all came just as expected. They arrived in vacuum-packed bags, and expanded instantly when I opened them. One of the packages had panels that were squished on the sides, but I just rubbed the squished sides between my fingers for about 2 minutes and they released into proper form, indistinguishable from the other panels that immediately expanded.These are proper 2-inch soundproofing panels - they aren't going to kill a slamming door or a high pitched squeak, but they help me isolate recordings and keep sound bleed from my house to the lowest reasonable minimum. There can be people in a nearby room talking at a normal volume and I'll still be able to capture the guitar or vocal performance I've been practicing just fine.Ultimately, this is about the best deal you can expect for 2-inch foam panels for the price. No disappointments or unexpected letdowns here.

Total Cost as Seen (additional products purchased): $123.63Build Time: 1.5 HoursI initially bought this product to help reduce the upstairs noise. My wife and I share the floor with three kids over three-bedroom spaces. Needless to say, it can get loud at times. In the center hall is where the office space is.Most reviews speak to the obvious: cheaply made, hard to stick to the wall and not very functional. Searching through the reviews, I was able to find two solutions which ended up solving all problems except one: pricing. I used black backboard and nailed it to the wall to create a landscape for the foam. Second step was applying double sided adhesive tape to the entire surface. Last, I sprayed 3M adhesive on each tile one at a time working from top to bottom, inside to out. It’s been a week now and zero issues, still in place.Packaging: Item arrived in a vacuum sealed package. Once open, I followed the instructions to wait 24 hours before application. Every foam tile completely expanded with zero issues. Everything was cut correctly with no misshapen tiles present.Functionality: As a tester, I can see how this solution would benefit an entire space, ceiling to floor. There’s just not enough foam on the wall to hear much of a difference. As I don’t own a device to test decibel levels, there’s no comparison model.Aesthetic: I bought the all-black foam tiles. Looking at it now, I would have bought the off color (red and black) as it would have better suited the computer setup. A minor gripe really. It makes a huge difference in the space. The pictures say it all.Price: What you see is what wall coverage looks like with this pack. 24 sq ft isn’t a whole lot of coverage. There are a few other manufacturers selling similar items for cheaper. Just a considerationI’ve included links to the other products I bought to make this project a success. Good luck!1. 3M GP 45 Spray Adhesivehttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PCWRMC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=12.

1st things first …YOU MUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR THEM TO REGAIN THERE ACTUAL SHAPE AND SIZE ! • Let sit for 24-48 hrs • (Method I use) - Fill your Bathtub with Hot/Warm water. Throw them in the water And push them all under. You have to make Sure EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM IS SOAKED! Drain water, ring as much water as possible Out of each one, set on towel & place a fan In front of them for a few hrs (or overnight) !IF DONE, THEY WILL ALL BE SAME SIZE & SHAPE !Very nice product.. Super soft , thick material , Best bet for your buck without a doubt ! 10/10

They're cut a bit uneven, so if you need your panels perfectly aligned, you might want to pay a bit extra for higher quality. Sometimes the foam tears in the back so they don't all stay up, but for the most part they work just fine.

I bought 2 packs of these for my home studio and they do measure a full 2" from the back to the high points. From the back to the low points, they measures 3/4". They feel sturdy and they expanded to nearly full size right out of the vacuum-sealed bag. There are a few squares that need some special attention to expand some of the corners, but I'll do what others have done and gently wash them in the tub. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. Several years ago, I bought two sheets of acoustic foam from my local big box music store, and it cost me $96 for 16 sq. ft., so getting 48 sq. ft. (2 packs) for about $85 was a great deal.UPDATE: After I opened the packages and let them expand for a few days, I looked at them again and they had all fully expanded, so I don't need to wash any of them. I just finished adding 3" squares of poster board to the corners of all 48 panels with hot glue, and my next step will be to add short strips of double-sided tape to the corners, and then I'll use a laser level to mount them to the walls.

They expanded after 24h as expected, proper dimensions and high quality
