Let's face it, even when you acoustically treat your room, if you live in a rather noisy area you'll get some background noise. I gave the t.akustik Vocal Head Booth a try thinking "let's see if it makes any difference, otherwise I can send it back". Well, it made a huge difference. Yes, you'll need to know how to mix such a dry sound, but once you learn you'll get amazing results. I almost gave up and started booking studio sessions before trying this out, but now I just record at home and I'm super happy with the results. So yes, even if they don't advertise it, this things DOES work at reducing background noise. Amazing.
