4.0 out of 5 starsDid wonders for bass response
By J. Vetter on November 30, 2009
Size: 1 Pair
This is a quick review, but I thought I'd throw my two cents in.

I bought these pads with the intention of tightening up the bass response of my monitors. The difference was immediately noticeable. I first tested them on my glass desk just to get an idea of how much isolation was really taking place in a worst case scenario. I'll be honest, in my opinion the glass desk was still pretty unbearable.

Fortunately, I have speaker stands, and when used with the auralex pads, the bass sounded much more accurate with distinct separation. In addition, the tightening of the bass seemed to clean up the overall response of the monitors, effectively creating a sharper listening experience.

Initially, I was hesitant to spend roughly forty bucks on foam pads. After checking out some reassuring reviews and realizing that making my own would require more effort and research than I was willing to give, I decided to take the small risk. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.

Also, the ability of the pads to isolate while tilting your monitors upwards or downwards is a welcome benefit.

5.0 out of 5 starsDoes what it's supposed to.
By Garret on August 15, 2008
Size: 1 Pair
My desk used to act as a low-frequency resonator, tainting my mixes and attracting dangerous spirits. Now it's like my monitors are floating above my desk. I no longer hear my desk playing my music, even with my ear to the surface!

5.0 out of 5 starsMuch better than expected
By Alex Boozer on April 29, 2014
Size: 1 Pair Verified Purchase
I bought these because my speakers are positioned on a hutch above my desk, I use these to point the speakers down on my listening position. Not only do they do a wonderful job angling the speakers at me they have also make a huge difference in bass response. I use a set of polk rt5 speakers and they have never sounded as good as now :)

Also as a note, the picture is a little misleading, as other reviewers are mentioning they do come with 4 of the pieces shown so put together they are sufficient for 2 decent sized bookshelf speakers or possibly 4 smaller speakers such as satellites.

5.0 out of 5 starsWORTH EVERY PENNY
By D4money1 on October 24, 2013
Size: 1 Pair Verified Purchase
First of all, let me begin by saying to everyone out there complaining about the price of these do you expect to have good sounding equipment by being cheap? Do you purchase a $30 microphone and expect to record a symphony? Like serious. It's $25. Geez. If you have good monitors and plan on getting the most out of them. Hopefully you paid a lot more for your speakers.

Now on to the review...these things work. And they work well..

The picture is kind of deceiving. You actually get 8 different pieces in the box.,Not 2 as shown in the picture. You get two top halves and two bottom half for each speakers. 4 pieces per speaker. You can use these pieces wisely to adjust the angle of your speakers to aim at your ear level. You can take the top halfs off which will aim the speakers at an extreme downward angle. Or you can leave the top half on and have your speakers level at no angle, a slightly downward angle, a slight upward angle, or use the foam facing backwards for an extreme upward angle.

These adjustments can be critical for monitoring as every little bit towards getting the best SQ you can achieve.

I own a pair or KRK rokit 5 G2s which I have been using for about 2 years now. I usually just have them on a desk and I had gotten use to the rattling because I was ignorant to how much that affects SQ and how it was making me harder to mix. After getting these pads I now wish I would have gotten them 2 years ago!! My soundstage completely opened up, i can now hear tighter more precise bass. Even small little details stand out more. I went back and mixed down a couple old songs again and they now sound even better than ever. They also do their true job of eliminating rattle perfectly. My desk doesn't shake at all!Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsYUCK
By Tortoise on April 22, 2014
Size: 1 Pair Verified Purchase
First, these pads probably cost Auralex < 5 cents a unit: they're ordinary foam rubber, so when you buy them, you'll feel like an idiot for paying what you paid (or you should feel like an idiot for paying what you paid if you paid more than, say, $5.00).

Second, they're butt-ugly.

Third, they do a "meh" job of dampening vibrations, while they do an absolutely SUPERB job of muddying sound.

These are awful. AVOID.

4.0 out of 5 starsDidn't completely remove my desk vibrations
By Adam Norris on November 6, 2012
Size: 1 Pair Verified Purchase
Whilst I applaud this product for working as advertised with cleaner sounds, less muddy bass, less vibrations I'm a bit annoyed that vibrations are still noticeable from my mini-subwoofer (its a desk sub with no remote). I guess if I wanted something that offered true isolation I'd have to spend 4x more

Despite my cons I'm still pleased with the wedges that allow angle customisation for any future setups & its great for anyone who's currently dealing with rattling windows/obvious vibration sounds/thin walls between neighbours.

Also note that you get 4 pads per box. I accidentally ordered 2 sets thinking that there were only 2 in each, its a little confusing!

5.0 out of 5 starsGot more of an improvement than I expected, making Hans Zimmer jealous and stuff...
By MVR on December 3, 2014
Size: 1 Pair Verified Purchase
Humor aside; what can I say? They are just foam, but boy do they work well! Sure, you can go out and cut your own, but these offer so many advantages due to their smart design and your ability to adjust angles, etc.

My bass response used to drone quite a bit due to my working space and surfaces picking up the resonating low frequencies (the speakers were desk mounted). However, since installing these (and yes: THE "1 PAIR" BOX COMES WITH TWO SETS OT TWO PADS!) the bass response really kicks, and no longer tails off like a fat man trying to roll himself back onto his feet.

My girlfriend was also happy to hear that when I mix now, the lower frequencies no longer travel through the walls rattle the bathtub water making her think the T-Rex from Jurassic Park was coming.

I expect with these pads that any moment Hans Zimmer is going to call me asking why my mixes sound so good. Well, the secret's out Hans! If you ain't using these pads you might as well hang up the baton, not that anybody uses those things anymore!
