BXI Sound Absorber - 16 X 12 X 3/8 Inches 6 Pack High Density Acoustic Absorption Panel, Sound Absorbing Panels Reduce Echo Reverb, Tackable Acoustic Panels for Wall and Ceiling Acoustic Treatment

In an apartment flanked by the bustling subway line, the BXI Sound Absorber panels have brought much-needed quiet. Designed to capture and dampen sound, these panels have been particularly effective in my study, where clarity and concentration are paramount.Performance: The sound-absorbing material is excellent at reducing incoming noise, particularly the higher frequencies of screeching brakes and clattering tracks.Ease of Use: Lightweight and easy to install, these panels can be arranged in various configurations to optimize sound absorption, making them versatile for any room layout.Aesthetic Versatility: Available in several colors, they can be arranged in aesthetically pleasing patterns that enhance rather than detract from home decor.Overall Experience: The BXI Sound Absorber is more than just functional; it’s a critical component of my home’s defense against external noise. It’s a top-tier choice for urban dwellers facing similar acoustic challenges.

The sheets are smaller, meant to be tiled or used in small applications. They are quite thick, durable, and a little tricky to cut. So far I've simply lined square areas to deaden sound but I find many other uses now that I have extra. It's a firm but forgiving surface so I've even used it as a workspace protector.One of the more interesting projects was to clean up a car radio install that had a floating screen. The material is cheap, versatile, and reasonably easy to work with so it ended up working well in this space. I cut the rectangle with a razor, then cut out the opening in the center. After that I realized I needed to thin certain areas of the material to make it fit - this was surprisingly easy. You can use the blade to dig out areas, even creating angled relief spots to get the perfect fit. Since it's a fibrous material it has some flexibility and can compress a tiny bit. At the end of the day it also cut down on the noise transfer from the once partially occupied double DIN area with a poor seal. Hacky use case, but I like it.

First and foremost, these work. Polyester panels are very good at absorbing noise, echo, and reflections in a room.However, at only 3/8" thick, they're a little less effective on their own than I expected for the price. If I double them up on the wall, it makes a noticeable difference compared to just a single layer of panel. Unfortunately, this means that some 2" thick foam panels do a similar job for cheaper (but also uglier). Perhaps BXI will consider sourcing a 3/4" or 1" thick panel. I can't recommend these as your only acoustic panels in the room, that would be expensive. But, they do work well in conjunction with foam panels and bass traps. If you already have some egg crate foam and it's not cutting it, add these.In short, I would buy these for any home office to help with acoustics, but I wouldn't try building a home theater with these panels alone.Please also note that these are not for soundproofing, so if you're looking to isolate yourself from your neighbors or traffic, you need to look at sound deadening material and/or acoustic insulation.

They are like their image & do indeed control upper frequency reflections. This is not the kind of tile I would prefer for serious sound isolation (ie.stopping outdoor urban noise) ,but they have some insulating ability. If your not really into (studying) room acoustics than these are better for controlling ringing, & hand clapping echos type of sound. Placed right these can work well for voice, mic, podcasting area sort of use, but 6-12 of these tiles vs this thickness, material, & price can only do so much as a room grows in size or complexity.

Decent product. The panels are inexpensive so you get what you pay for. They did not come with adhesive so I had to use my own. I live in an apartment and get a lot of street noise come through the bed room windows. The panels absorb a decent of noise. I cannot speak to using these panels for a music room

This is some very legit foam, has some weight to it which is the way it works, no secrets, mass=friction.WARNING: I see a lot of negative reviews from people who don't know anything about acoustics... They seem to think that the purpose of foam is to block sound. Silly, that's not what foam does. If your goal is to block sound you want mass-loaded vinyl, NOT foam.You choosing the wrong product does not make the product bad, it simply means you don't know what you're doing. Foam = Absorption (of high frequencies in this case due to thinness) which reduces echos in that same room. Heavy Vinyl = Blocking sound passing through.

panels didnt work for me

Exactly what I needed for my electronics cabinet. It provides a decent amount of sound proofing. it is easy to cut and form, as well as to attach to what you need.
