JBER Sound Proof Foam Panels Studio Acoustic Foam Panels, 48 Pack 1" X 12" X 12" Soundproofing Wedges Sound Proof Padding Fireproof Acoustic Treatment for Home Office - Black

So, I’ve been on the search for the BEST, “bang for your buck” foam sound-proofing panels.. and I FINALLY found them! .. However! These unfortunately do come with a “russian roulette” type of odds when it comes time to open them up. Before I ordered, I noticed all the negative reviews.. and I was quite worrisome. Since I needed these ASAP for an upcoming piano recital, which I’m recording from home. But, I just went for it.. and bought multiple packs. They arrived very quickly, each and every time I’ve ordered them. Once you open the box, you’ll see multiple packs of them. They’re all tightly bound together, in an outer plastic layer. As you rip through the first layer of plastic it will release the multiple packs (at this point you still don’t know if you got a good one.) It’s as you start to rip open one of the individual packs, you see the air either does absolutely NOTHING.. and the foam stays flat OR it fills the bag up as you are ripping the plastic; due to the expansion of the panels. This is how you can tell immediately if your whole batch is faulty or as advertised (no need to rip open the other individual packs, they’re gonna be the same as the first one you opened.) They’re either 👍🏻 or 🚮 There’s no in-between. You don’t have to wait hours, it happens immediately (at most in a few minutes.) Soaking them in water does eliminate any odors from the foam, but it doesn’t make the foam change in size (so in my opinion, a total waste of time.) The odors are honestly super minimal, nothing that should be of concern. If you want to transform your studio.. help cut down in reverb, quiet the noise between a neighbors wall, or whatever it may be.. these are the most quality you’ll find for this price point. Therefore, I highly recommend these to everyone! You will not be disappointed.. UNLESS.. you get faulty ones, but don’t fret! Just immediately go to Amazon, click return and order some new ones. They usually come next day, open them up. If they’re faulty again.. rinse and repeat. I just would hold off on returning any of them until you have exactly the amount you need in hand. Don’t expect them to ALWAYS come as pictured, as I said.. it’s about a 50/50 shot, generally. So, if you’re willing to take the risk (of wasting a little time potentially).. it’s surely worth the reward of a beautiful studio, on a budget!! Hope you have great luck and success, with whatever you choose to do with these! :)

Highly recommend! I installed these to cut down on background noise/echo during voiceoverse for my YouTube videos. - Easy to install. - Can confirm it expands to normal size within 24 hours. - Best price in comparison to all other comparable products. - Command strips DO IN FACT work fine. You just have to use them right. I gave tips on installing with this exact product on the command strips product page if anyone needs help. If you need sound prood foam, definitely go with the 2 inch over the 1 inch. I've had both and these definitely work better. Great product!

I’ll start my review with a little trick that I tried on a whim, and was very pleasantly surprised that it worked. These tiles come tightly packed like a memory foam mattress, and unbeknownst to me, it says they take 24-48 hours to puff back out. I saw other reviews sayin it took a whole week. I don’t have that kind of time, so I put the tiles in the dryer 24 at a time on “Delicate” setting with the lowest possible heat setting and a fabric softener/dryer sheet for 25 minutes. I’m not saying that everyone’s dryer will be the same or that this method would for sure be ok for everyone, but it worked like an absolute dream for me. In 25 minutes my tiles went from 1/2” to a full inch, and I was able to start my project. I hot glued them to poster board with a low temp glue gun. They seem to deaden the sound very well, and I’m pretty happy with them over all. I only gave them a 4 star rating because the decompression phase was hidden deep within the description, and I feel that sort of thing should be advertised more plainly in case people are in a hurry. The product itself functions as advertised and as well as one could expect for this price point. The only other drawback is that the tiles are not perfectly square. If you hold the tiles so that the lines are horizontal, the tiles are about a quarter inch longer from left to right than they are from bottom to top. So if you want to use them in a checkerboard pattern where you alternate the direction from tile to tile, you have to get creative to make it work.

Like most foam acoustic panels, these will arrive wrapped very tightly and air sealed. When you make the first cut into the plastic to open it you will hear the air rushing in as the bag's seal is released. Both times I have ordered this now it the panels spring to life. 24 come in the pack, I would say about 20 will get to full size within 5 min or less with these, the other four took about an hour or so. Great product and great shipping, whatever this seller is doing to package their panels they are doing it right. I have another package of full adhesive back panels and when I opened the package and took them out, they are thinner then a single piece of cardboard.

These don’t do anything to help audio at all. But that’s ok, i purchased these for visual effect honestly. They look great. But they shipped with two different shades of black, which is noticeable, so we had to sort them out and make sure they were used as a pattern to make it look intentional. Also, I lit one on fire, and it burned.. so I’m not sure how flame resistant it is… it didn’t light up like dry paper or anything… it just didn’t credits the lighter too much.

They took some time to figure out how to get them to attach and stay attached but that's on me, not the panels I suppose. I stuck the first 24 on some pink Styrofoam panels and hung those panels on the wall with normal picture hanging hooks. The second batch I attached to a folding privacy screen, so it can be easily positioned at any time, or just folded up and stored when not needed. I used spray adhesive on some and double sided tape on others, the ones with the spray adhesive are rock solid, but the ones with double sided tape fall off regularly. If you are attaching them to a flat surface that you don't mind damaging in the event that they wont be attached forever , use spray adhesive, the stronger the better. The panels themselves work exactly as expected, the echo is completely gone, which makes videos calling for work and school so much better for hard of hearing partner. As far as people complaining about them not puffing up, I threw about 10 at a time in the dryer for 10 minutes and they puffed up perfectly. All in all I'm quite happy with them and I'm sure ill be buying more in the future.

EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND DANGEROUS! This product IS NOT FLAME RETARDANT! DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IN YOUR HOME! Reading that this product is described as "flame retardant", I decided to test this with a strip cut from one of the panels. It burns extremely well, and drips flaming globs of plastic. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FLAME RETARDANT! DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IN YOUR HOME!

Overall I'm satisfied with the product a few things that you should know before you buy is that if you have a reasonable sized room this isn't enough to create a noticeable difference that you will be able to hear but it will help overall with dissipating the sound waves that travel through the room and ricochet off of the walls which helps with an echoey room the room that I put them in I'll is still echoey however I do believe that it made a difference. Also if you impulsively buy this product like I did there's a possibility that you have no idea how to get this stuff to stick to walls. What I found through research and what I did is I bought spray fabric adhesive and cut cardboard sections out that matched the area of the sound deadening squares I was going to use I sprayed the cardboard with the spray fabric adhesive I gave it time to cure then stuck them to it carefully you repeat this process as many times as necessary. Now getting them to stick to the wall I had to make two trips to the hardware store because of the first double-sided sticky tape I bought was not strong enough hopefully this saves you the hassle if you're going to use this it's a very important that you use double-sided sticky tape that comes in a roll that has the green plaid pattern on it that can hold up to 10 lb or so after using that I have had absolutely no problems with it falling or coming off of the wall. The product comes in a vacuum-sealed bag because I exercised patience once I took them out of the vacuum-sealed bag I put them in individual piles I'm about six to eight high and I let them sit for 24 hours to fully expand. Total project took me three days. I am very pleased with the results 10 out of 10 I am going to buy again because my gaming room still echoes and I want less of it.
