Brand new in unopened box, 1mefre round panels at 3.5cm thick. Made a big difference in my setup. The top end is smooth now and centre stage is locked in. Able to drive speakers louder without system compromising . Looks gorgeous and it’s magnetic. All you need is 1 screw with washer on ceiling and it will stick on via the magnet. Love this as if need to clean can take them down, also only 1 hole makes it easier if u ever move out and need patching. It’s black in colour and absorbs from both sides. Quality product. There are 4 units in 1 box

### Sound Quality
Users report noticeable improvements in room acoustics, with one reviewer stating the panels made sound "even better" than higher-performing GIK panels by reducing reflections and reverberation in a living room audio system. Placement of multiple panels (e.g., 9 on walls, 6 on ceiling) enhanced clarity, outperforming expectations for polyurethane foam construction.
### Build Quality
Described as "high quality" (rated 5/5) with beautiful, elegant design suitable for visible areas like living rooms, where aesthetics trump bulky alternatives. Fabric-covered foam provides a modern look, impressing even non-audio enthusiasts (e.g., "the Wife was super impressed").
### Reliability
Adhesive choice impacts longevity; Gorilla Glue Construction Adhesive is recommended as highly effective, while clear glue failed quickly, causing panels to fall. No widespread reports of material degradation, and product specs note fire ratings (Euroclass B-s2,d0; US Class A) for safety.
### Strengths
- Aesthetics and versatility: Stands out for living room-friendly design over industrial options.
- Effective absorption: Broadband performance for medium-low to high frequencies; suspended clouds offer double the absorption area of standard panels, ideal for high ceilings and noisy public spaces like offices or restaurants.
- Eco-friendly options: VMT variants contribute to green building certifications (LEED, WELL).
### Weaknesses
- Cost: Viewed as expensive (rated 4/5 value), with users paying a premium for looks alongside performance.
- Installation sensitivity: Requires proper adhesive; improper choices lead to failures. Limited user feedback on long-term durability in high-traffic areas.
- Foam skepticism: Initial doubts about polyurethane efficacy, though proven effective in practice.
### Overall Reputation
Positive among early adopters for blending performance and style in non-studio environments, earning recommendations for small rooms or aesthetic-focused setups despite higher cost. Broader product lines (e.g., ViCloud VMT) reinforce Vicoustic's reputation for innovative, customizable ceiling solutions, but more user reviews are needed for comprehensive assessment.
This estimate converts the manufacturer's listed EUR prices of 824–854 (incl. VAT) using a conservative mid-2026 exchange rate of ~1 EUR = 1.70 AUD, adding ~15–20% for Australian import duties, shipping, and retailer margins observed in local hi-fi listings. No direct AUD listings or user-reported prices for this exact model appear in recent data, so the range reflects official Vicoustic Portugal pricing adjusted for the Australian market.
- Condition variations: New units command full price due to warranty and pristine condition; used panels (e.g., from studios) sell lower based on wear, with no specific listings but typical depreciation for acoustic foam products.
- Key factors affecting value:
- Variant: Flat Round (824 €) vs. 3D Round (854 €); patterns or colors may add slight premiums.
- Finish/quantity: Priced per box of 4 units (Ø1160x40mm each, ~15kg total); single units uncommon.
- Location/shipping: Higher in Australia vs. Europe due to freight and taxes; free EU shipping noted but not applicable locally.
- Demand: Niche pro-audio market (e.g., studios, offices) keeps values stable; fire ratings (Euroclass B, US Class A) boost appeal.
Australian retailers like Sydney Hi-Fi and Addicted To Audio carry Vicoustic products without exact ViCloud pricing, supporting the adjusted range via comparable items (e.g., panels at AUD 560–800). Check local stock for current deals, as prices fluctuate with forex and promotions.
