These work great!! My surround sound subwoofer is on a hard wood floor. Before it used to vibrate across the floor until it ran out of cord. Then it would just twist. I put these little isolators on and it has not move since. I have definitely put it to the test, too. (Posted on 12/11/2017)

Really stops the vibrations Review by Amazon

Used these between a Zvox Soundbase 420 and a Dish receiver sitting on top of it. The Dish receiver's enclosure vibrated loudly but no longer. The only issue is they ARE sticky and reading other reviews I simply placed a cut out piece of paper between these pads and the Zvox, using the same circumference to hide it as best I could. Doesn't matter if they stick to the Dish receiver as it has its own rubbery foot pads. (Posted on 12/11/2017)

Great Isolation Pads Review by Amazon

These pads worked great for me. I have an all-in-one computer that was creating a vibration in the table on which it sits. By putting these pads on the computer's feet, the vibration/noise was greatly reduced. For me, the pads have just the right amount of stickiness also. The computer is no longer going to slide around, but can be easily moved when desired. There seems to be no marking or residuals of the surface either. (Posted on 12/11/2017)

Great for my audio equipment! Review by Amazon

Price

Quality

This is just what I needed for one of my amps. The amp was too big to fit in my rack with the other equipment, so I removed the feet of the amp, and substituted these pads. The pads are strong enough to support the amp, and durable enough that the screws that were holding the feet of the amp do not scratch the equipment below. There is still a small space for air flow between the components.
These pads are pretty sticky too, so they could help stabilize equipment, or keep speakers on stands, or earthquake-proof certain items. (Posted on 12/11/2017)

Very nice product that does what it's supposed to and doesn't cost a fortune. I purchased these to help isolate my home theater subwoofer from the hardwood floor in the living room. Immediately I noticed a huge reduction in sympathetic low frequency vibrations. I was actually able to turn the sub up to a higher volume than in the past and the bass seems to be much more "room filling" yet cleaner than before. (Posted on 12/11/2017)

Sorbothane is amazing stuff! Review by Amazon

I bought these because I have several Bluetooth speakers so powerful they can vibrate themselves right off a table ... but not with these! I can barely even feel the strongest bass hits touching the table right next to the speaker with these pads on the job. Sorbothane can be a bit sticky so I have mine sealed in zip-close plastic bags to keep the dust & detritus off - and even that slick plastic covering doesn't make it possible for the speaker to "walk", even with the boomiest, bass-iest music playing.

These work VERY well for dampening unwanted vibrations. I used them beneath a tube amplifier head, to help extend the life of NOS vacuum tubes. One thing to be aware of though is that these are STICKY! NOT adhesive backed, but the material itself WILL stick to almost any smooth-ish, non porous surface. They're also a lot softer and stretchier than I had expected. Not a bad thing but just something to be aware of depending on what application you have in mind for them.

These work great for my S9000es and Parasound amplifiers. The discs are slightly larger diameter and fit well with the component feet. (Posted on 12/11/2017)

Really Reduced The Noise Of My 3D Printer Review by Amazon

Price

Quality

I ordered these to help reduce the noise of my 3D printer by dampening the vibration between the printer and the cabinet that it's in. I had to double-stack the pads, but they've eliminated all of the vibrations, and my setup is easily twice as quiet as a result. Yay!

They're made of a very soft, pliable, silicon-like material that the printer feet/frame just sort of melted into. A bit tacky to the touch, just enough to keep them from moving around, but not so sticky that you can't peel them up easily to move them. Neat stuff! (Posted on 12/11/2017)

Solved my noise problem instantly. I very recently put my family servers on a kitchen dolly upstairs, right over where my wife sleeps. Immediately she started hearing low rumbles like distant thunder. After determining that i hadn’t turned my stereo to 10, I ordered these Sorbos. Not only did the downstairs noise go away, but it reduced the sound upstairs (Posted on 12/11/2017)

Phenomenal - and I don't use words like that very often Review by Amazon

My Cable box has a hard drive in it. It sits on a shelf in my entertainment center and, up to this point, the vibrations from the hard drive were amplified by the shelf on the entertainment center, as a sort of sound drum. I know I'm pretty picky as no on in my family even knew what I was talking about, but it bugged me. But, with these things, right out the package and "pfffft" and no more sound.

Pros: easy to use, just a little sticky so they stuck to the bottom of the cable box, no more sound.
Con: being a little sticky the cable box won't slide on the shelf and I have a concern that, after some time, it may mar the finish on the shelf.

All in all, great product and I have four more to find a use for. Hmmmm - I'm off in search of vibrations - do you think they'd do anything for a snoring problem??? (Posted on 12/11/2017)

This worked great! Totally worth the price.

In a music studio, I had powered monitors that were causing a horrible sympathetic resonance on something in the room (right at 110Hz/ 4th string A guitar). I tried for quite a while to find the secondary "buzz" without luck-- so I gave these a try. Not only did the decoupling with the pads eliminate ALL sympathetic noise, the isolation made the speakers sound MUCH better and allowed better volume.

I had already tried different types of rubber/foam/etc that I had lying around with minimal effect. I'm really glad I bought these! (Posted on 12/11/2017)

Thunder sounds REAL now! Review by Amazon

Didn't totally remove resonance from the room from bass notes but reduced greatly. I have dual 12" velodyne subs. Thunder no longer shakes my aluminum French doors. Now I can't tell if it's thundering outside or if it's part of the movie. I'd say that it's an overall improvement. Now on to the music: bass notes subjectively sound less crisp, muddier. On louder listening (party levels) the bass still finds its way into cabinets, and doors; making them resonate to the bass. Nothing in this life is perfect, but for the money, I'd say that these isolation pads serve their purpose.

works very well Review by Amazon

Price

After reading a lot of reviews for other sizes of this brand's products I decided to purchase these feet to place under my various audio/visual components as well as a Tripp Lite UPS unit.

The feet themselves are pliable and have a stickiness to them so you can attach them to the bottom of whatever item you are using them on and they stay put. Both sides are sticky, however, so after you put the feet on, you have to place the unit exactly where you want it on your rack - you can't slide it into place.

I noticed a hum or buzz from the Tripp Lite which was fairly audible anywhere near the unit. After using these feet, the buzz/hum level was decreased considerably to where you would have to put your ear right next to it to hear anything. As far as it dampening vibrations for my other components, I really can't say since I don't have anything to measure vibrations and nothing else really seemed to be suffering from excessive movement or vibration. I just put these feet in place under things such as the CD player, Blu Ray player, preamp, etc., to further isolate them from any rack vibrations. The product seems to be of good quality - it holds its shape and the feel of it gives the impression that it does indeed work very well at absorbing vibrations.

Only one thing - once in place, especially if used on glass, it sticks very well so it requires a bit of effort if you decide to move anything that has these pads in use. (Posted on 12/11/2017)

starsWorked Great To Mitigate AC Condenser Vibration Review by Amazon

Sorbothane is THE benchmark for vibration absorption. I used these in conjunction with 4'' x 4" pure rubber vibration pads (with four holes in each pad, available through Amazon) to isolate substantial noise and vibration generated by a rooftop AC condenser which is located above my dining room. I sandwiched each of the rubber pads between two of these Sorbothane pads (the fact that these come in an 8-pack actually gave me the idea). PROBLEM SOLVED. Just FYI, previously I had tried the square pads with grooved surfaces and a blue hard foam sandwiched between, but those, being very firm rather than resilient, transmitted the noise rather than absorbing and dissipating it.

Used for quieting a garage door opener, they worked well for that. Would buy again. Review by Amazon

Used these to isolate the garage door opener and reduce noise transmitted into the rest of the house. Works pretty well for that...when we had the house built I didn't know much about sound reduction strategies, but since I have become more aware of how important they are to a house. I didn't know this when we built, but a lot of noises in the home are transmitted through the structure, not through the air. Reducing unnecessary noise makes the house seem more solid, and just make the place more comfortable. My home office is directly above the garage. The doors make a moderate amount of noise as originally installed, and this reduces the noise to a much more tolerable level. I punched a hole into each and slipped them between the angle iron holder the opener and the ceiling, and another over the lag bolt head before replacing the bolt. There is still a little bit of noise transmitted to the house framing through the bolt, but much less than before. I'm thinking about adding more to the garage door track to see what while happen. Not that the noise is a huge problem, but now I want to see how quiet things can be made if I go all out. (Posted on 12/11/2017)

Used for home theater subwoofer isolation. Review by Amazon

Price

I have some Powersoundaudio XV15se ported subs that would WALK across my floor during very loud scenes. The things weigh 100 lbs each, but with 600 RMS watts on a 15" sub...I also had read the benefits of isolation of subwoofers from flooring to improve real and/or perceived acoustical response. Sorbothane, although has some drawbacks (can bleed onto surfaces, remove clear coats and such) seemed to be the answer.

At first I bought some sheets and cut to size, but the feet put too much pressure and cracked them. Plus I still needed to isolate the sorbothane from my wood floor with worry of damage. So I need something to spread out the pressure a little and also protect the floor.

So I sandwiched these round pads between two "InvisiHold 2" Round Non Slip 1/4" Thick Furniture Gripper, Floor Protector Pad - Fiber/Rubber (Set of 10)" that I also purchased from Amazon. The subwoofer is isolated and now does not move!

I added a picture as well. It is hard to notice due to the picture exposure, but there is a lamp on top of the sub, as it sort of doubles as a side table. The shade used to rattle, so I cut a few strips to try and put under the lamp base. No more rattles, and it doesn't move! Good stuff. (Posted on 12/11/2017)
