Not a must-have, but not useless
Kappadegoodboi 02.12.2020
If you're studying guides to set up your home studio or listening room this may seem at first as something that's just not worth spending money on, and you're not completely wrong.

In my opinion it takes a fairly trained ear to understand how a diffusor REALLY makes a difference in the room acoustics. It took me about a month to configure my home studio in a way that this diffusor would actually work.

Now that it does, i'm glad that I got it early. If your budget allows it, get it and give it some time. Don't go expecting miracles though, but trust the math!

Can be easily set on any kind of wall with a strip of double-sided duct tape, wouldn't recomend using the adhesive as it seems that chunks of the base will easily brake off along when you decide to dismount it.

Try not to get too frustrated during assembly, can be infuriating for those who have no previous LEGO experience. Just breath and follow the steps!

Handle with care, don't mount it near doors or passageways! The material is fairly fragile, if you brake it though, that is definitely on you. Don't go asking refunds!

Proven design at an affordable price
Set Iron 08.12.2019
This 2-dimensional QRD is based on well-known mathematical parameters and offers exactly the same performance as much more expensive products. Of course EPS foam doens't look too good, but it's not terrible either and for the price you can't ask for more.

An upside of the foam is that you can assemble the thing in minutes with simple glue and hang it easily with putty tabs: no holes in the wall with the bonus of being able to reposition them if needed.

Recommended.

Great value for the money
Ben910 19.09.2014
When I first opened the box, I was a bit disappointed at the quality — it looks and feels just like standard poly-styrene — but when I put it up in the studio, it did a really great job at deflecting sound, doesn't seem to affect sound quality that much, and it looks really smart (at a distance, anyway).

Unfortunately, since it is made of EPS, it's a bit crumbly and I damaged one of the pieces placing it up so you'll need to be careful but it's great value for money (as always) and it does the job just as well as the wooden stuff, but at a fraction of the price.

I bought 4 units of these to use in my recording room. There are a few reviews saying it looks bad (cheap) and it's fragile because it's EPS. I disagree, they actually work and I managed to improve my room's acoustics a lot without spending a lot of money. Concerning the looks, I glued it together and then painted it with water-based paint before installing, they look way better. One big advantage these have over the wooden diffusers (apart from price) is the weight, my studio walls are dry-wall, it would have been impossible to fixate 8 of these things weighing 25-30kg each to the ceiling without causing damage.

Great quality, a bit expensive, not intuitive to assemble
gceballos 29.06.2020
Product is very good quality. Comes with assembly instructions that are a bit confusing. They name the pieces as A,B,C, ..., but when you have to assemble it, you have to follow a weird order that you could miss from the beginning.

Keep in mind you'll have to buy some kind of glue to keep the pieces together. Compared to other materials (like wood diffusers) it is lighter, however it is still heavy if you want to attach it to the ceiling. I hanged it with gorilla tape (double sided) and it worked very well.

Overall, a nice product. It could be a bit cheaper for what it really is.

Great product.
Beau 08.05.2020
This product is great, I don't understand why people complain that is a huge obstacle to put the pieces together because it is not. Just follow the manual and it will be done in maybe 10 minutes. They are very fragile so make sure to treat them gently. have fun with your better acoustics.

A bit of a nightmare
PaulMac 22.07.2019
I bought 18 boxes. First and foremost they are very time consuming to build anything beyond 1 or 2. The pattern should be ABCDEFGHIJ but it is nothing of the sort sadly. It became a bit of a nightmare to build so many.
They work quite well, but are much less dense polystyrene than other products on the market and therefore are a lot more prone to damage, and therefore less accuracy in their acoustic purpose.

I would recommend some to break up the diffusion patterns of other products as you shouldn't have more than a couple of one pattern in a sequence. I wouldn't recommend buying many of these for the above reasons.
