After comparing this product from t.akustik to ISOVOX, I decided to spare my wallet and give the cheaper underdog option a chance.
First of all you gotta set realistic expectations for it: if you're getting it in order to prevent your baby from waking up while you're recording screamo vocals — this is not going to work out. However, it does a great job of preventing reflections from bouncing off your walls and into your mic again, dampening the hum of your PC fans and whatnot.
Visually it's very solid, the walls are 4cm thick and minimal design allows it to fit most rooms without standing out too much.
Things I liked the most:
— It's spacious in there!
— Pop filter and headphone holders. Really neat.
— No assembly required.
— Minimal design.
Ways to improve in the next iteration:
— Controlled isolation on the front/sides. I get why there's an open space for shoulders, but it allows for some reflections to sneak in if placed next to a wall. I might throw a blanket over it just to get a little more out of it.
— Adjustable light brightness, that LED is very bright.
— To add to the point above, some batteries for the light would be nice 😅
And that's it. I've only had it for a couple of days but so far I'm really enjoying it. If you're like me and don't want to study acoustics to treat your room, you'll probably save yourself some money and a lot of headache by getting this thing instead.
