Ok but won't fix any serious sound issues.
TrEr 12.02.2020
I got these for my studio. Decent sounding control room, hi-end monitors on heavy, top quality stands. There was no perceived improvement whatsoever using these ISO-pads.

So I brought them home instead. Poor sounding room, cheaper monitors on a wooden shelf, basic home recording setup where I mostly do editing/arranging using headphones. In this scenario the ISO-pads actually did something useful by reducing boomy resonances from the shelf. Obviously the ISO-pads didn't fix my poor sounding room but the sound actually got slightly more focused, less boomy.

My conclusion is that these ISO-pads won't do much in an already good sounding professional environment but depending on the setting they may do something useful in simpler, compromised setups, like home studios, etc. Basically, if you've got a problem with boomy resonances leaking into the surface beneath the speakers the ISO-pads may give you a slight improvement. But if your problems are caused by room resonances, don't waste your money on this, get room treatment instead.

Not bad

You can definitely find thicker foam for your speakers with a little bit better decoupling, not by much but still better.
I'm putting these below my Tannoy Reveal 802 monitors, and the foam with the top piece is adequate.
However, as soon as I want to angle the monitors the foam would be too thin for complete decoupling in the front, and I'd still get vibrations on my desk when the monitor is angled. I still do when it's not angled, but it's not as excessive.
Though, if you don't care that much about that little extra percent of decoupling and/or you're not going to angle your speakrs, then you'd be fine with the t.akustik ISO-pad. If you do, then look somewhere else. Get something thicker that would perserve the decoupling even when the speakers are angled.

You get what it says on the tin

Does the job for its intended purpose cannot fault it there and I've been using these pads for years since I bought them. They don't compress as much as you think and the width is perfect for my monitors.

The only points I would pass on is that the pads depth *was* a lot longer in length compared to my monitors, however because its foam its very easy to cut down. Furthermore I would try to avoid putting it in direct sunlight as it will get bleached with a orange tinge.

Other than that it, does what it's made for so I would recommend.

Equal to alternatives - Great price.
Anonymous 28.12.2016
Bought these when I got a proper desk for my studio & upgraded my monitors.

Its hard to appreciate what they do if you've never had them before, but take them away & you'll understand the difference right away. They wont sort out a bad room.. but they will improve clarity by 'decoupling' - which basically cuts out a ton of energy rattling through your desk. Its a good product with a bit of adjustment available in the angles provided.

I'm happy anyway & cant see myself buying more expensive sponge anytime soon. Does the job & does it absolutely fine.

Great & Useful
Thonk 21.08.2021
I've been using these for a number of years now with an old pair of Alesis M1 Mk! active speakers (20lbs weight) and they do a great job. They Isolated the speakers very well.

Only con I can think of was that the little Thomann label came off quite soon after purchase.

Cheap and Good
Shaknis 21.05.2021
Added these to my cheap metal monitor stands holding Yamaha HS8. I hear a significant improvement in sound. Not sure if it is related to actual reduction of vibrations to the stands, or because of the improved monitor angle - but sound has improved. Monitors stand pretty sturdy. Happy with this small purchase. I could not expect anything better for this price.

Excellent and cheap way to improve your studio sound
eddiehimself 09.11.2018
I've had these for a few years now through two sets of monitors, the first being a gigantic pair of KRK Rokit 8's, and these held them up with no problems. Now I've got a pair of ADAM A7Xs, and similarly these help to add that little bit of acoustic separation from your speakers and desk or speaker stands, which in turn gives you a tighter bass sound with less unwanted sympathetic resonation. Another nice feature of these is the way you can adjust the angle with the extra bits of foam, which was very useful for me as my speakers sit above my ear line when I'm sitting down, so that ability to angle the speakers down is helpful.
These are an absolute must have for any home studio, especially for less than ¤20! The only slight problem with these was the Thomann logo badges on the front, which came off and I'm not sure what happened to them. But this is a very minor detail and they still do exactly what you need them to.
