Great For home studios
Not for sound proofing!
So i bought 2 sheets of this to make a microphone shield and some other stuff. I ended up having a spare sheet so i put it up on the wall which looks great and is quite useful.
Before i built the mic shield i put my amp into a box and padded up the inside of the box with the foam and tracked some guitar. It work well stopping reflections and minimizing outside noise.
I also tracked some vocals with a sheet up on the wall and the mic in front on the foam, which also work extremely well to my ears with no audible reflections.
I then tested the frequency response of my vocal microphone without any foam in the room and then the foam in front of the the microphone.
My results were almost identical form 0hz to 15khz.
This foam is mostly useful for targeting to those higher frequencies. If your looking for something to kill room modes or sound proofing, look else where.
If you are looking for something to use in an isolation box or a cool decoration or to dampen reflections this is a good starting point.

Great steal, serves it purpose!
I bought this for my home studio to compliment my custom made rockwool panels in areas of the room where I couldn't attach a normal rockwool panel, and this does a great job of preventing any reflections (mid-high frequencies) coming from that area.
t.akustic has some really low-cost and purposeful acoustic foam that has been crucial for my rented apartment - home studio setup.

Nothing special, but maybe it improves a bit the overall room sound

Reliable
Reliable foam absorber. Does the job it can. DO NOT expect total sound absorption, it's not really realistic.
You can easily record with a single speaker, a 50w tube amp in a homemade isolation box with the volume on 3-4. But do not expect a simple foam absorber to silence a 100w full stack.

Good
I used this foam to build a DIY mic shield. Surprisingly it works well. First I was thinking that effectively it has 2 cm continuous thickness, so I will have to use something else too to make it absorb better, but it shields well a large diaphragm mic, which usually is very sensitive and problematic. Of course nobody would expect to absorb bass frequency, and if you have such exigence, you should study the problem more or go on a higher price range.

Good for the price
I bought two of these in conjunction with other acoustic treatment I was buying at the time.
Firstly I was impressed by the depth of these, and the rigidness. I had no trouble mounting these at all. I used spray adhesive onto the back of them.
I actually cut one of these in half with a hacksaw and did a pretty good job of it. You could cut one of these into two reasonable sized panels to cover your reflection points.
These do a good job at reducing flutter echo in my control room and at the price you cant go wrong. Good job Thomann for another great product.

Smelly but good Reflectors
Good Reflectors i use them in my homestudio, but they do smell for the first weeks... other than that very happy!

Great absorber
I used one foam directly behind my studio monitors and I heard a great improvement around high frequences: now they sound clear and more precise. It's great!

Does the job
I use these panels to reduce reverb in a corner of my room for some amateur voice acting. As such there's a real difference now in my recordings at least with the higher and mid range frequencies. A quick hint you can cut some denser fibre glass or rockwool materials, mount them under these panels and get a better absorption in the lower frequencies.f your mounting these in a corner also it'd be a good idea to get something else also since they don't come together well. Aside from that these work really well.

Nice afforable foam
Very affordable foam that is good quality too. I cut this in half and attached to the walls either side of my mixing set up as sound treatment. Definitely made a positive difference and I plan on treating the rest of the room soon with the same stuff.
There is always a high-end product that will cost an arm and a leg in any market, but if you're on a budget this is a useful alternative.
