Fstop Labs Acoustic Foam Panels, 12 Pack Red 2'' X 12" X 12" Mini Mushroom Studio Wedge Tiles, Sound Panels Sound Proof Foam Panels Sound Proofing Padding For Wall

We used these foam to cover the inside of a sound booth. I needed to prevent sound from echoing off the walls and ceiling when recording audio tracks. These work for sound absorbtion, not sound isolation. (Those are two different things. Use Google to read about the differences if you don't know.) I didn't want to go with moving blankets which several people recommended online because they were dark and depressing. The portable sound booths online were also black and made to stand in. I wanted a structure to sit in while recording. This color works when I need a green screen background for videos too. We used a PVC frame, hung fabric with velcro on the frame, and then sewed the foam to the fabric as I didn't want to use the toxic adhesive. So that is why I rated adhesion at only 3. The PVC pipes are held in place by the fabric and velcro so we didnt need glue or screws in the pipe. If I wanted to store this, it would break down in less than 15 minutes and we could place it easily in a closet. The foam expanded beautifully after unpacking. I ran each square under the water for 15 seconds, wetting the front and back. Then placed them in the dryer on medium heat for 15-20 minutes. The quality was perfect with each one.

I love the mushroom design. Looks great when mounted, nice depth and dimension with lighting. But this was marred by inconsistent production, which forced me to buy more sets of panels.Some notes on unwrapping/prep and then the production quality.PREPPING THE PANELS* Absolutely use the dryer method! *You can try leaving them out overnight or longer, but they won't all expand. The instructions suggest using the clothes dryer — wet the panel, wring it out, and put it in the dryer. It works perfectly.I dried several at a time. The instructions say medium heat for 20-25 minutes. That was enough to expand all of them fully.Even though they feel dry, there can still be moisture within the foam, enough to be damp when squeezed. I didn’t want to try mounting them that way, so I dried some longer and let some sit overnight on a towel.MOUNTINGI used the EGINO adhesive for foam panels (ASIN: B09GYKCTNQ) and they worked great. I did 5 per panel as their directions say, and so far everything’s held.INCONSISTENT PRODUCTIONThe big problem was that the panels were not consistent. The bevels on the mushroom design’s top/surface form an hourglass curve. Most of the panels were pretty similar in the distance between the narrowest point of the “hourglass.”But — a number of panels were way off, with that distance being around half as wide, and some came almost to a point, like a pyramid.On several, there were different surface widths within the same panel. (!)I bought 24 panels for the area I needed to cover. Out of 24, there were 7 panels that I couldn’t use. So I had to buy an additional 12-pack. And 3 of those 12 were unusable too.And, you can’t know when they’re compressed. You have to expand them before you can see the final widths.Overall — I’m pleased with the look and I like the panels. But double-check the panels against each other when they’re expanded, before mounting.

Overall:Got these panels to help my neighbor whos bedroom shares a wall with my office/game room. I can't speak for the sound dampening yet for her since I haven't talked to her yet. But, I can say that from what I've tested they seem pretty good. Nothing crazy, but definitely will take the edge off and help dampening the main waves. I'll definitely be buying more of these since I want to add just a few more.Inflating:I initially took them out of the packs and let them get air for 24 hours or so. They weren't inflating at all, so I decided to try soaking them. It worked perfectly. I tossed three in my sink of water at a time and didn't even let them soak. I just started kneading them to get the packed air out of them. It worked perfectly since it opened the cells and allowed water in them. Once they seemed fully inflated with water, I squeezed out all of the water from them back into the sink one by one. I put them in the dryer for a bit and they were perfect. I didn't have a problem with any of them getting to size.Setup:I kinda wish these came with their own sticker pads to apply them to the wall, but I just used push pins since that's what I had. They seemed to work fine and I'll eventually switch them to picture hanger tabs later. This works for now though. The only thing here was that some where not cut perfectly straight on the edges. Nothing crazy and not workable since all I had to do was smash that side down a little or stretch the other to make it work. Definitely a good quality though since I only noticed that on like one or two. Once again, nothing that couldn't be worked out though. Great quality.

I ordered a 48 pack of these to try them out. Does not do much if anything for sound dampening.I didn't do an entire wall of these. I spaced them out because...well who wants to spend hundreds of dollars on this? I think these could work if you did an entire wall, but I got a lot of room to cover so tried to take the cheap route. It didn't work out.However, they make great wall art and you can make some nice designs with these. May order another 48 pack later on in a different color to add more pizazz to my wall art.product: these are light as a feather. I ordered some cardboard for crafts for backing and glued the cardboard backing on using adhesive. I then used double sided tape to tape them to the wall. a 1 inch square of double sided tape in the top 2 corners is more than enough to hold these light weight things on the wall. Remember, at some point you may have to take them down. Don't go crazy with the tape.note: I did see another review on amazon by a mom that actually used a device to record the difference in decibals with and without these covering the walls completely. She stated it was a 20 decibel sound dampening. fwiw.

The media could not be loaded.  Despite initial doubts due to negative reviews, I decided to take a risk and purchase nearly 200 acoustic tiles. I was pleasantly surprised that each one assumed its perfect shape after a simple soak and gentle manipulation in water. Follow the easy steps—SOAK, SQUEEZE , and SHAPE under the water—for an outstanding outcome. It’s unfortunate the seller received negative feedback; common sense in handling made all the difference. These tiles not only look stylish but also deserve a 100% recommendation!

Les produits sont tellement compressés sous vide que la majorité d'entre-eux ne reprennent pas leur forme initiale, donc inutilisable. Sur 36 carrés j'en ai 14 qui se sont développés.

Schall im Übungsraum ist jetzt viel angenehmer. Die Platten bringen was.

Me encantó, estaba buscando algo para evitar que mis bebés se golpeen al gatear y sirvió de maravilla, lo puse alrededor de su cuarto, así cuando gatean o se van de lado, ya no se golpean con la pared, están suaves y acolchado, hasta sirve para cabecera de cama, muy cómodo al recargarse, hasta decorativo se ve.

Al llegar se veían algo decepcionantes todos aplastados, pero una vez se remojan y secan, quedan exactamente como deberían.Aún considerando que el cuarto en el que los usé no tiene mucho espacio para colocarlos y tuve que hacerlo estratégicamente sin tener completa libertad por muebles y el diseño en general...Diría que por sí solos redujeron el ruido HACIA AFUERA en un 60% aproximadamente, tal vez sería más efectivo si tapizara la pared completa (y no sería tanto problema en cuanto al dinero con este precio!). Se que algunos creen que sirven para bloquear sonido de afuera, la verdad no sabría decir.Sin embargo, los bajos pasan casi como si nada y tendré que solucionar eso en un futuro con las famosas bass traps tal vez.Ya con los paneles no se nota nada el sonido por las paredes, la mayor fuga de ruido hacia el resto de la casa es por la puerta, así que el siguiente paso para mí es sellarla. Recomiendo ustedes hagan la prueba con eso también.P.D. Usé un rollo de cinta doble cara Scotch tipo “Indoor” y funcionó muy bien en pared pintada, incluso un panel lo dejé con la cinta ya destapada toda la noche ya que me di cuenta a ultimo segundo que seguía húmedo, y en la mañana aún pegó muy bien. Lo recomiendo.Específicamente limpié el área con alcohol isopropilico y usé un cuadrito de cinta en cada esquina, presionando bien por varios segundos para adherirla tanto al panel como ya el panel a la pared.
