These are an excellent upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their audio setup. These pads do an amazing job of reducing unwanted vibrations and decoupling your speakers from the surface they’re placed on, resulting in a cleaner, more precise sound. I noticed an immediate improvement in sound clarity, especially in the bass frequencies—there’s less resonance and distortion, leading to a more accurate listening experience.The foam pads are easy to install and fit most speaker, offering great flexibility. They’re made of high-quality material that’s durable yet soft enough to absorb vibrations effectively. Whether you’re using them for studio monitors, home theater speakers, or computer speakers, these pads help improve soundstage and reduce noise that can transfer through surfaces.The sleek, low-profile design also adds a professional touch to your setup, and they’re discreet enough to not draw attention away from the speakers themselves. For the price, the improvement in audio quality is well worth it—definitely recommend these Isolator Foam Pads to anyone looking to elevate their sound experience!

The Sound Addicted Studio Monitor Isolation Pads for 3 to 4.5 inch Small Speakers are excellent for a decent looking means of providing a slight upward angle or tilt to our Sony SSCS8 center speaker on a lower (13-inch from floor) shelf of our home theater TV stand. Please see two photos I have posted. Please note that the pads reflected the flash from my camera, and without flash, actually look black or very dark charcoal in color, not nearly as gray as my camera flash makes them look. The pads measure exactly as shown in the manufacturer's product photos. I have positioned the two pads pressed together side by side and used both angled wedges on top of the pads to get the maximum upward angle. The four pieces are cut precisely and together appear as one unit with no visible "seams" unless you get within a few inches to examine them very closely. With the four pieces put together, it looks like one "solid" unit. My intended illusion succeeds. The front height of the pads with the wedges used at maximum tilt and with the Sony speaker resting on the pads is 2 inches. The Sony speaker is about 7 and 3/4 or so deep and about 17 inches wide, and the speaker overhangs the pads just enough to look decent on the front and sides. With the pads and speaker positioned as described on the shelf that is only 13 inches off the floor, the Sony speaker is now properly aimed directly to ear level for anyone sitting on the prime watching/listening couch located 13 feet away from the center speaker. The improvement in center channel sound is slight, but definitely noticeable. The speaker sounded great before, even out of optimum position and angle. It definitely sounds even better now. I am glad that Sound Addicted made this good product, gave good product photos and measurements, and sold it to me at a very fair price. I am very happy with it. Also, kudos to Sound Addicted for following up after the sale to thank me for my purchase, express hope that I am completely satisfied, and to invite any questions or feedback. Great product of high quality, very fair and reasonable price, and exactly as advertised. I highly recommend it.

When the speakers were turned up, the base would cause some vibrations on the shelf. These pads eliminated that, and let me angle the speakers down, making them sound a bit better to boot.Foam is good quality, size fit my speakers perfectly. Very happy with it.

Serve it purpose.

I hardly ever write reviews because hardly anything lives up to its marketing hype. But if these pads are any example, the people at Sound Addicted are guilty of under-hyping their products. This is the best $30 I've ever spent. Spectacular performance, far beyond what I expected. That’s really all you’ll need to know but the deets are below if you’re interested.Small room, speakers (bookshelf Klipsch R14s) on the same platform as my vintage Marantz 2250B receiver and 6350 turntable -- some rumble, not a lot but enough to get my attention. I know better than to put speakers on same plane as TT, but figured once I had everything working, I'd replace the budget Ikea media stand with something system-worthy and tuned for a small room. As a stop-gap, I looked at speaker stands (ugh) and then isolation pads to reduce/eliminate the rumble and get a sense of what the system could really do. Saw online reviews of isos for as much as $600 (!!!) and then came across these from Sound Addicted. $30? Give ‘em a whirl.Oh man, what a deal. Quality and performance are exceptional: completely eliminated the slight rumble, which I expected and assumed. But what they did to improve overall clarity has me extolling their virtues. It's as if they damp any cabinet or room resonance for crystal-clear sound - treble isn't as pitchy and bass is much more clearly defined (I'm also running a sub, full disclosure). Frankly, I was shocked at how this one little thing could improve audio quality so much. Plus, they’re sturdy: my speakers aren't heavy but these pads are stout enough to stand up to much greater weights. Plus-plus, they're attractive: they have a subtle sparkly appearance when the light is right but otherwise fade into the background where they belong.GREAT PRODUCT!

I’ll start by saying sound is subjective. My turn table sits close to my speakers on the same bookshelf. I would get a bad rumble back into the turntable when playing record albums at higher volumes. After some research, I figured I would try these Sound Addicted isolation pads. What a difference! Even at louder volumes, no more rumble from the TT. Here is where subjective comes in. I noticed an increase in base response, clarity, and “feel”, and overall sound performance seemed cleaner and more separated. For me, a great investment for TT and sound performance.

I bought this to help reduce the rattle from my bass speaker in my TV cabinet and it works perfectly. Just played One of These Days by Pink Floyd without any rattling!
