AudioSilk Acoustic Panel, Large, 116 x 58cm, Black

I bought these panels to reduce echo and reflections in my home office, as the bare walls made video meetings sound harsh/unprofessional. The panels have helped cut down the echo, though I’ll likely need to add more to achieve the effect I want. As the instruction leaflet notes, “effective acoustic treatment can be a tricky process.” On the plus side, they include a 10% discount code for future purchases. They are thinner than the promotional pictures suggest, but still a decent size. You can notice the sound-dampening effect when placing your ear close to them. I mounted them with adhesive strips. Instead of the recommended branded 3M strips, I used Spear & Jackson adhesive strips. The panels are very light, and they’ve held securely. I chose the light blue variant, which looks smart on the wall. The laser-etched AudioSilk logo is subtle but stylish, and up close the panels have a felt-like texture. Overall, I’m pleased with the purchase and would consider buying more.

Not the most effective due to thickness but it works to reduce reflections, good value for what it offers, easy to install and looks good.

Pros: - Nice finish - a matte look on the PET that appears fairly dark in most lighting. Other similar black panels can lean slightly grey or have a shiny, cheap look, but these appear more refined on the wall. - Good size - closer to “typical” professional acoustic panels than many thinner PET or foam options. - Made from recycled material. - Honest website, FAQs and guidance. Unlike some brands, they are clear that these panels do not provide soundproofing. - Easy to install with 3M Command strips (I used the velcro version). - Panels are reversible so you can hide the logo, but I chose to show it - it looks good! - Can be cut to size. - Much more attractive than egg-crate style foam. Cons: - Very thin, as advertised, but I wish they were thicker to increase absorption in the mid to high frequencies and reach a bit further into the lows. You can add an air gap to help, but with panels this thin it can look a little odd and requires some DIY. - A little expensive for what they are, though there are certainly pricier options that are less well made. - Audio Silk should provide clearer technical / test data given the price. The product image shows what looks like an absorption coefficient graph, but it is too vague - detailed figures plus a full and clear chart would be helpful for professional users. - Although the brand and website seem trustworthy, communication has not been great. I contacted them with questions about the panels and never received a reply. Overall: Great-looking broadband panels, I would buy more, but clearer data and slightly thicker options would make them much more compelling for the price.

A professional product and I love the colour options. I went for white panels which match my room perfectly. They are very light in weight, well made, easy to install. You can also cut them down. I can instantly notice a difference in the sound quality in this room, which I use for playing electric guitar and playing music. They are not sound proofing, they just help perfect the sound. I’m already thinking of other uses, such as by the computer or in the TV room. Only disadvantage is I think they are expensive at £60 for the pair, but they do look good.

These are too heavy to be mounted using any form of 'sticky tape' - even expensive 3m stuff etc, they will come off in a few hours. These are very thin so need lots of have any type of effect

The panels work well for reducing echo and deadening the room - especially useful during online meetings. They adhered securely to the ceiling and have made a noticeable improvement in sound, reducing echo and resonance. One panel arrived with a small mark on the back, but it didn’t affect the appearance once installed. They are a very good white colour that is a good match to brilliant white of ceiling paint. Overall, a good and effective set.

Wow, this panels are very light and don't smell like others and very efficient in reducing echo and reverb, 2 of them did a great job! Thank you guys for creating this amazing product!

They don't seem to make that much difference, and the velcro adhesive strips I bought don't stick to the boards well enough so they have fallen off the wall a few times. Pricey for what it is. The colour is great, though.
