Foam Factory Bass Traps

Does anyone have any experience with this company's foam for bass traps?

Foam Factory - Corner Solutions Foam

Is it as good as the Auralex LENRD or OC 703?

The NRC numbers look good but who knows? The prices are very cheap.

Total fraud!! Ethan Winer tested these in a lab and found the numbers to be bogus. All the company did is pretty much a copy and past from Auralex. The company also goes under the name of Foam By Mail.

Glenn has the right answer. Those bass traps are about 1/2 to 1/3 as effective as Auralex LENRDs, which in turn are about 1/2 to 1/3 as good as commercial bass traps built using rigid fiberglass or mineral wool.
