I had previously purchased several square panels from Auralex, with the triangular ridges. They worked great, but I wanted something that would cover more surface area. These larger panels certainly do that, but they also emit an almost unbearable odor. It's like a combination of plastic-y chemicals and dog urine, if you can imagine that. It's just horrible. And I've had these panels up in my music room for about 2 weeks, and it's still overpowering. I'm literally going to take them all down this weekend and just throw them away, after spending around 120$ on them. Very frustrating.

How other reviewers were not bothered by this is utterly beyond me.

Acoustic dampening kind of works but little better than orange foam or cork board. Whats worse is the smell, a cross between peppermint and a chemical spill...definately nauxious in an enclosed room. It has been more than a month and it still stinks up whatever room I put it in. If you have a nose on your face, your ears won't care the slight noise reduction. A towel or cork board worked much better for my situation.

Not too much to review... It absorbs sound at it is supposed to. Good material... Just don't let a dog pee on it cause the stink cannot be removed and your studio will really smell... lol
