Sound: This, for me, is the most important part of the review. The quality of the sound is why we pay money for these products. I am pleased to say that the MoPads made a big difference immediately upon placing my studio monitors upon them. The most noticeable difference came in the decoupling of the speakers from the desk upon which they had been resting. The desk was causing reinforcement of the vibrations at certain frequencies (especially bass frequencies) and just generally rattling. The MoPads stopped almost all coupling to the desk, except at the lowest frequencies (I'd say below 100 Hz by ear). The desk no longer vibrates, buzzes, or reinforces vibrations and the result is much crisper cymbals, clearer mids, and no more boomy bass. Of course, I still get boomy bass from the walls, but that's for another day... Feature: Well, the product is just four blocks of foam, but it does allow one to choose from 5 different angles for the monitors depending on the way a wedge of foam is oriented on the MoPad. Quality: I can't really tell what a well made foam would look like. It certainly seems that foam would be a good choice of material for this application. Value: I give the value only a 4, because even though the product works, I feel that $30 is a bit steep. This foam may not be much different from that used in Auralex's wall treatments, which is only $3 a square foot. If these were included with a roominators kit for an extra ten dollars on top of the regular roominators price, I'd say the value would be better. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed it. The Wow Factor: definitely sexy, I'd made sure to have the auralex logos facing the room so everyone can see how much I paid for good sound! Overall: I am satisfied with this product, it did what the "hype" said it would. I plan to purchase further products from Auralex based on my experience with the MoPads. If you have problems with monitors vibrating their stands or a desk, these are a good, albeit expensive, solution. A block of rubber might do the trick more cheaply, I don't know...

Overall: I brought this product and I loved it from the beginning, however I couldn't justify the cost of this product. So I called Zzounds and got an RA number to return it. The problem occurred when I removed the pads from the speakers, I instantly noticed the tremendous vibration and the noise associated with it. I still have a problem with the cost but I cannot use my speakers as desk speakers without them. These Isolation Pads are incredibly dense and do not lose their shape when speakers are placed on them. It is the denseness of this product that makes it so desirable with the ability to control vibrations from speakers producing lots of bass .

Overall: Hosnestly at first I thought the MoPads were kind of high priced when I first looked at them, but after purchasing and using them with my monitors I have to say they are definitely worth the price.

Sound: There is no sound, it keeps things quiet as it should. Feature: Extra pieces of foam so the monitors can be set level or angled. Quality: Strong. I stood on 'em just to see if they could support the weight, and they did. Value: Highly valued. Manufacturer Support: Never used 'em. Which is good. The Wow Factor: I need it. Overall: Does what it said it would do, which is all I ask.
