I read several reviews and was almost thrown off by the statements that the acoustic panels did not expand fully. Instead, I opted to get 3 different products to play it safe and ended up liking this one the most... though expansion is something you have to plan for.
When you get the product, it is vacuum sealed, so they are flat to start and need time to expand. I opened the package, laid the panels out and let it sit over night. Some looked good, some looked deformed with only parts expanding. As I had time and I really liked the ones that had expanded, I played around with them.
Given time, they should all expand, but it's a dense foam and sometimes a little help is needed. For one that just wouldn't budge, I wet down the side that was not expanding and let it sit for a day or so. Popped right out.
Bottom line
If you have some flexibility, the product was the best at reducing noise of the ones I ordered, the best value, and very easy to work with once they were expanded. That said, if you are in a hurry or don't have the space to lay out the panels so they can expand, you may want to consider other products or buy spare packages.

Upon taking it out of the packaging it is deceiving, follow the instructions
Upon taking it out of the packaging it is deceiving, follow the instructions, they were 1/16 of an inch super thin/compacted, looked like poor quality.So for the producer it is completely unnecessary too vacuum seal these, you have to cut them at full density for shape. I order the 48sqft it took me 2hrs of soaking,kneading, & ringing out then put them in dryer on the fluff cycle for 2hrs before these were full size. Keep them at full size n repackage them neatly and ship in a larger box. They are 2” as described once full-size great quality! Long unnecessary process but happy end result. Recommend buy the adhesive tabs to secure

Size: 12 PackColor: Black (Wedge)Verified Purchase
Let me start off by saying that these came pretty quick. I got two 12 packs of 2x12x12 panels. As everyone says, they come compressed. So don't be surprised if they're only an inch-ish at first.
I will say, they stank. When you first open, they smell chemically and are not a pleasant fragrance. They do air out after a little time, but sadly for me it's November which means Winter in West Michigan. So I couldn't just open the windows. I mean, I didn't buy these to make my house smell nice. But didn't buy them to make it smell like a chemical factory either. No big.
Once you get these, take them apart and set them aside for a day. 24 hours. Let them expand naturally. I was impatient and did the whole "soak them in water and then use a hair dryer" idea and I couldn't get them dried out and took me longer to get them dried than letting them go.
I bought some double sided 1" square tabs to stick these to pieces of cardboard for mobility. Don't bother. Get some adhesive spray. The mobility is great - using sticky squares sucks. They fall off. Not a fault of the product.

DON'T EXPECT SOUND PROOFING
People. This is to reduce ambient noise and sound refractions for a cleaner sound. If you want sound proofing, you need to spend a LOT more money. I live in a house by two bars. I have three young kids (boys). I have a cat that demands being let in. The only way to sound proof this room is if I buy loads of thick insulation, rip out walls and re-seal everything. EVERYTHING.
BUT, this cuts down a lot of chatter, fan noise from the computer and heater (again, winter in Michigan). It also helps when the kids are in another room just talking. I surround myself with the panels and it creates a pseudo isolation chamber. BUT it's not sound proofed. Don't expect that.
---------
Would I buy more? Yeah, I think it was worth the money I spent and would buy more to cover more areas of my home office/studio. I'm not recording high budget albums. I'm doing voice overs and podcasting. But I'd like to have more ambient noise broken up. And for the price ... this is worth every penny.
