Sound Addicted s-Pods Speaker and Studio Monitor Isolation Feet (Set of 8PCs)

I’ve tried a ton of different footers from rubber to wood to silicone to cones, sorbothane, etc etc. and without question theses are the best.I don’t use them under speakers, I use them to isolate my Sota turntable.The Sota sits on an isolation shelf on top of an audio rack-see pics.I bought the S-Pods just to try to isolate further. Absolutely blown away by the difference in the music.Every element of the sound is cleaner and more distinct.Voices are more isolated and all the other instruments are more tuneful and easier to hear.Bass is faster and more powerful without being bloated.Much quieter background and volume can be increased without distortion.I am amazed. Certainly one of the best accessories I’ve ever purchased for my system.Highly recommended!

So glad I bought these. I was hesitant at first bc they cost more than any others we have bought in the past... but I'm so glad we did. We used 4 on our sub on the floor and 4 on our center main speaker. No rattling, no buzzing, no echoes. These are definitely worth the cost. We spent alot of money on our surround sound and it didn't sound as good as it does now until we added these!!!

In terms of pure value, I'd give these 5 stars. I have some of the MUCH higher priced alternatives for studio monitors, and I can say these are about as effective in the right circumstance. Where the higher priced options offer more, it's in lifting the speakers higher off of your desk and allowing some adjustment on the speaker angle, which this design does not. Is that worth the price difference? Maybe. Honestly, some good stands to get your monitors off of the desk altogether, and these would be a better choice, but that does bump the overall price up again. That's why I come to 4 stars and could easily do 4.5. In the right setup, these are an effective excellent value. If you're just trying to get the speakers off of the desk a bit, these are better than leaving them on the desk and way better priced than the big guys puck style options. There are more effective options in that scenario, but at more than double the price. You just have to understand what you're trying to solve for and what to reasonably expect. Put these in a position to be their most effective (speakers on a stand and isolating them from that stand) and they're an excellent value.

For a decade, I had my studio monitors on foam pads. They attracted cat hairs and were impossible to keep clean. These s-Pods are just the ticket. They are a cinch to setup and easy to adjust. I wish I had bought these sooner.

As you know dialog clarity is getting worse on movies and tv shows. I leave close captioning ON everything I'm watching now. I recently purchased the KEF R6 meta center channel hoping it would mitigate this problem. Unfortunately, I ran into the same problem that I had with my Magnepan CC5s, the dialog was hard to discern. After placing the center channel on the isolation feet, I realized it wasn't my center channel that was the problem but what it was sitting on, a thick glass top of my AV cabinet. I could tell a sonic difference immediately when using the feet. I didn't need to have CC on all the time anymore. There are still movies with terrible dialog clarity but I'm finding that I need to use CC alot less. I'm a convert now when it comes to sound isolation/decoupling.

This is great for my professional speakers for my studio. Well made. Sturdy and durable. No retailing and no buzzing sounds. Great protection for my equipments.I am really glad I got these. Heavy duty than I thought. Good design. I am highly recommend these.

I have experimented with many different isolation systems over the decades spent fiddling with high end audio. Most of the isolation feet use some type of spike system to reduce transmission of vibrations either from the transducer to the environment or vice versa (turntable etc.). The Sound Addicted isolation feet come neatly packaged and have a soft silicon center with an heavy aluminum casing which holds the silicon in place. These pods are suitable for isolating speakers and lifting them from the supporting surface which generally helps to clean up the bass. I used 4 under a subwoofer and the second set under the center channel. Putting them under the sub helps somewhat to stop the transfer of bass energy into the floor which reduces the vibrations and rattles from other furniture in the room.. Isolating the center channel had a more profound effect. It cleaned up the boxy sound in the lower midrange which was being amplified by the hollow shelves and cavities in the TV cabinet on which the speaker is resting. These pods are quite basic in design if compared to some of the more exotic isolation systems that cost in the 3-4 digit range. If you have speakers which do not justify spend this amount, the Sound Addicted pods are a huge upgrade to the felt pads or spikes which ship with the speakers. At the price its worth giving them a try. They may even work under components. Just experiment to see what works for you,

I have a pair of Elac speakers on my window seat in my 110yo house. The house has creaks and groans on its own, so driving these speakers caused some serious rattles somewhere that made me not want to play music.When these arrived, I was immediately surprised at how big they were (not as in “too big,” but more like big enough to possibly make a real difference). The other thing that struck me is that they were quite dense. This made them strong enough to safely support probably any speaker. At the same time, they did have some “give” - otherwise they would still transfer all of the speakers’ vibrations to the surface below.I slipped 4 of these under each speaker at the corners and fired up a few different song genres to put them through their paces. I’m not a bass head by any means, but I included songs with enough lows to cause incessant rattles with my usual setup. I’m happy to say I didn’t hear a single rattle and I still haven’t. These were a very pleasant surprise!
