How we ranked these acoustic panels

Every pick ranks in Amazon's best-seller list for its category and has a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

Buying advice: professional acoustic foam

Match panel size to your wall area

Panel size decides how many packs you need. The AudioSilk panels measure 46 inches by 23 inches and the Olanglab panels measure 24 inches by 48 inches, so a few panels cover a wide stretch of wall. The AUSLET, Dmsky and KTOESHEO panels measure 12 inches by 12 inches, which suits placing panels at key reflection points or building a pattern across a wall.

Compare thickness and absorption ratings

Thickness and the absorption rating are the two figures to compare. The AUSLET, Dmsky, Olanglab and KTOESHEO panels are 2 inches thick, while the AudioSilk panels measure 0.4 inches thick and carry an NRC rating of 0.91. The Olanglab panels give an absorption coefficient up to 0.95. Compare the same kind of rating across picks, since NRC and absorption coefficient are quoted separately.

Plan how you will mount the panels

Mounting differs across these picks, so check it before you buy. AudioSilk panels go up with removable sticky strips sold separately. AUSLET panels suit double-sided tape, spray adhesive, or hook-and-loop strips. Dmsky panels attach with general purpose spray adhesive or nail free adhesive. Olanglab panels hang with impaling clips, and KTOESHEO panels attach with staples, nails, screws, tacks or glue.

Frequently asked questions

Do acoustic foam panels keep outside noise out?

No. These panels treat echo and reverb inside a room. The AUSLET panels are designed for acoustic treatment, not soundproofing.

How thick should acoustic foam panels be?

Four of these picks use 2-inch panels: the AUSLET, Dmsky, Olanglab and KTOESHEO panels. The AudioSilk panels measure 0.4 inches thick and carry an NRC rating of 0.91.

How do I install acoustic foam panels?

It depends on the pick. AudioSilk panels go up with removable sticky strips, Olanglab panels hang with impaling clips, and KTOESHEO panels attach with staples, nails, screws, tacks or glue.

What does an NRC rating mean?

It is a rating for how much sound a panel absorbs. The AudioSilk panels carry an NRC rating of 0.91.
