These foam things can help a little, but they don't have the low frequency absorption of rockwul or fiberglass. If you want great bass traps, foam is not an option. In general you should hit all of your early reflection points from your mix position: The corners, the walls to your left and right, and directly above you. The corners need more density, so thicker treatment than your overhead and L/R points. | |

The main issue with foam bass traps like that is that they are too small to be effective below about 200Hz -- and that's assuming they are really made of real acoustic foam (many products like this are not). Bottom line, these won't hurt you, but may not give you the performance you are looking for.

It works for some of flutter echo and what not, but your money is better servers building your own treatment.
