Focusound 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.

The value for this dampening material can't be beat and it works well for certain applications. My application wasn't one of them unfortunately the sticky tabs for mounting to surfaces didn't work for mounting to the car door panels. I definitely believe the foam will work but in order to secure it to car panels you'll need double sided tape or something a bit stronger

First of all, do this first before installing: LEAVE OUT FOR 2 DAYS TO EXPAND!!! If you do not want to do the dryer technique or wetting then drying these. Letting it air out somewhere in your house for 2 days allowed it to expand greatly. To the people who are posting negative reviews and giving this product low stars obviously are impatient. This doesn't include manufacture defects such as bad cuts on some of the acoustic foam panels, but this is what you get for the price. I've previously bought much more expensive acoustic foam panels last year and while I like that quality of that brand, it was much more pricier than this product. The foam on the focusound wasn't as thick and like I said above had some manufacture defects. But for the price with the included adhesive tape, makes this a no brainer if you're in the market for a decent foam acoustic solution. Buy this product if you don't need the top of the line or super dense acoustic foam and just want quantity with mediocre quality. The adhesive tape is really good, for the previous sets of acoustic foams I've installed, I had to buy gorilla adhesive tape on top of that purchase and the adhesive tape that comes with this acoustic foam holds up pretty well against a name brand company's version. I would recommend this product for people who are shopping on a budget but still want good results without breaking the bank.

The provided sticky pads are easy to use and set up, but very time consuming. This is definitely not a one stop shop for what you’d be essentially going for, but it’s most definitely better than nothing at all. Definitely has changed the acoustics in my office. Some panels are “end cuts” meaning they’re the beginning piece so they’ll never form to size normally as others cut from the middle. Not a deal breaker for me, I’d just cut these pieces to fit into peculiar areas where needed. I can say now, if you think 50 isn’t enough, it most definitely is! If you’re trying to do an entire room, then look at purchasing a few packs, rather, the 50 pack will be more than enough for most cases. Overall a 3/5. If there weren’t any end pieces and they all had the shape you’d expect, this would be a solid 5/5. Definitely good for a first time setup before looking into more professional standards.

For its price I would 100% recommend. Although I do warn you they are a bit tedious to unpackage since they are all stuck together and shriveled but with enough patience I would say it was worth the price. And they also look very nice on the wall.

Didn't help with noise at all. Easy to install... A pain to take off.

This box fooled me. 50 qty… only 4 inches. Alas, it was over 29”. To my wife I exclaim: another false prophet of sound dampening disappointment. They’ve sold me a pack of micro cloths again and cursed me a 9th time! Nope. I assumed the worse and the package was over 2 feet after expanding (1 sleeve per 25 it seems). There were 10 pads of adhesive dots for the 50 pack, roughly 30 dots per pad = 300 dots / 50 ct If you use 1 per corner (4) per count of the 50 ct it will take 200 (50x4) and leave you with roughly 100. Do not put the backs of these in your mouth. Seriously. Don’t do it. I thought it was better than tossing it on the floor until I could clean afterwards (used to retaining FOD, etc) so learned I have some kind of sensitivity to these (also why half the stuff says don’t eat - we do dumb things - accidentally I’ve heard). These “seem” good. Once you break the seal - take the main sleeves/pads out at once. I learned how fast they expand and how fast you have to cut the entire bag open instead of just the end because you took out 1 and thought the rest would stay sealed somehow and not magically expand and get stuck in the main bag forcing MORE effort than you even wanted to begin with. Like, UGH - right? Don’t do it. I legit had to lay down after about 3 pads worth of the adhesive dot backs touching my mouth. Seriously, don’t do it. This was 100% an error on my part. Here’s a couple pics for reference. I bought more since this review, so they’re good.

Teenager loved them for his room. They really knock down the noise

Ces panneaux acoustiques remplissent bien leur rôle en absorbant les hautes fréquences et en réduisant la réverbération dans une petite pièce. Ils permettent d'obtenir un son plus mat et moins échoïque, ce qui peut être utile pour un home studio ou un bureau. Cependant, il ne faut pas les confondre avec une solution d’insonorisation : ils ne bloquent pas les bruits extérieurs ni les basses fréquences. À utiliser en complément d’autres traitements acoustiques si l’objectif est une isolation sonore efficace.

This is good quality and works quite well. However, it is permanent. Once laid, does not come out without destroying the wall.

These Acoustic foams are great!!! I put them up on my living room door and behind the couch, the sound got way better!! The service, packaging and delivery was great too!

Seriously low density foam, and the 'double sided tape' lasts about a week before losing adhesion to the foam, not the wall. Not worth it at 1/4 the price, do not buy. I'm not expecting greatness at this price point, but I expect a product that works for what its suppose to do and does not fail in a week.

The foam was decent quality but it does move around and not stick well to walls need added adhesive
