These arrived both vacuum packed and rolled up. On unpacking, they are supposed to expand and take on their full size. Most of the tiles did do this - but about a quarter of them did not, as they were either damaged or had just been too aggressively rolled and vacuumed up. When they are as expensive as they are, this is not good. I have since bought packs of the same tiles (different provider) in groups of 12 rather than 24 and they arrive only vacuum packed (not rolled up). These were all perfect.

This foam will achieve a certain amount, but only in a specific and quite small frequency range. The foam will reduce very high frequencies from reflection back into the listening environment, but not lower frequencies, it's simply not dense enough for that. The sort of foam that looks similar to this you see in professional recording studios is significantly more dense than this. So if you have a room where hard surfaces make sound over bright, and confused, this is possibly a good product for you. But if you're recording sound and you have a room that rings or makes unpleasant harmonics, you're probably looking for something denser, that will reduce reflection more significantly across a wider frequency range. It's not a good material for removing early reflections in a home studio mixing room. It's also therefore is not a great product for a vocal booth or practice room, will not reduce mechanical noise significantly, and isn't a suitable for soundproofing (and to be fair, they make no claim that it is). It's really only suitable in my opinion to tame a very bright listening environment, where it should be quite effective and create a more pleasant listening environment.

They seem to do the job but the grey ones in particular maybe due to longer storage or the colouring method didn't spring back into shape very easily, 48 hrs and half of them were still flat as pancakes and the tap/hairdryer method didn't work. However using a floor-steamer on them did! It was kinda satisfying watching em spring back to life. However, should I be blasting the product with a floor-steamer some two or 3 days later so I can use them? Probably not.With a strong double sided, foam tape I had them up in no time. They also took no time at all to all fall off the wall over night, leaving the tape stuck to the wall. I then turned to a spray on contact adhesive and they are now stuck, looking good and reducing the reverb in the room but it was a bit of a mission.

Brilliant stuff. They’re a bit thinner than the more expensive pro ones, but unless you’re doing pro treatment in a room they’re perfect. They deaden the reflections enough for most home studios, look great, and spring back really well after a day of being open. Some of them aren’t exactly the same size (you get the same with high end ones too) but it’s only a mm here and there - as long as you keep on top of this when putting them up then they’re totally fine.

I used these tiles to add some colour to a vocal booth. The booth was already covered on the inner walls with high quality (expensive) acoustic tiles so these tiles were just a cheaper way of finishing the booth off and making it a bit more attractive.The tiles are smaller than standard acoustic tiles. Thickness (once fully expanded) is only around 40mm.I would NOT recommend using these tiles as a standalone vocal/audio reverb product but rather as a VISUAL compliment to proper acoustic tiles.I used an aerosol contact adhesive and there were no problems at all.They definitely LOOK great.

The quality of these tiles are absolutely brilliant leave them for 48 hours and they really do come out of their shell but there is no adhesive and I'm not sure what one to use as I need to put these onto brick that has white paint on so if anyone can suggest a good adhesive that will stick these to white painted bricks that would be helpful but yes the quality of these are high standard and I would really highly recommend them 2 sets of these does filler small room

So far I have been impressed. My only criticism is that they are slightly thinner than I would be expecting and there is a cutting/indent line on the back of some of the tiles. Slightly more expensive than other manufacturers and although fire resistant is advertised in the amazon marketplace advert, there is no mention of it actually with the product. In fairness the seller has contacted me to offer to send the fire resistant certificate, this would be helpful for commercial situatations needing fire safety compliance documentation. Overall 8/10

Excellent quality, and I would definitely order again. My only criticism was that the product was packed extremely tightly and in such a way that when I was cutting it open, I could not avoid accidentally cutting into three of the panels and so they were ruined. Other than that, i am very happy with the quality and service.
