Functionality without breaking the bank.
David from Aiken, SC on 2/5/2023
I spoke with a few different audio shops who mostly indicated these are good but there are better products (for more money and a lot more money). I explained that I currently was not using any type of isolation. I took our conversations into consideration and still bought the IsoAcoustics products. They are used in my home theater under the Panasonic 4k player and the surround sound processor with great results. I wanted a quieter background and clarity that vibration damping provides. These provide that. I am now thinking about ordering a set for the amp.
Pros: Sound quality improvement with minimal investment.
Cons:

Excellent medium dampers
George from Annville, PA on 1/31/2023
Medium mass isolators that work well on my components that are a bit too heavy for the IsoAcoustics Graphite isolators. Look as great as the other sizes and visually really tie the rack and equipment together. I have all black components on an open, dark cherry 6-shelf unit, so these really add some visual "pop."
Pros: Do work well, I could hear the difference with and without on my CD player. (And I am old and hard of hearing!)
Cons: None. Priced right compared to the heavier supporting IsoAcoustics dampers.

They work. The snake oil works.
Dipal from WILLOUGHBY, OH on 10/29/2022
I bought 3 OREA Bronze for a old Klipsch RC-42 II center that was sitting on glass angled upwards to the listening position. I have had this speaker for now 6+ years and something was just missing. I attributed the lack of center clarity or punch with quality with the product and just dealt with it. Even with my Denon AVR-X1000 and its Audyssey MultEQ XT room correction it only slightly helped. Only recently did I found out about the company IsoAcoustics and their products. I placed them in a triangle pattern, two in front one in back center. With the same config setup on my Denon; I didn't even recalibrate with Audyssey, I was blown away how more detail it had. How much more information I was missing. Dialog was cleaner and it sounded louder. Is it enough to justify $150-$200 upgrade for THIS center channel? Not sure, but the tech does work. If you have an even more expensive center channel on glass or wood try it and you won't regret it.
Pros: Very high quality look and feel to them
Cons: Cost

I love vinyl again
Joseph from East Aurora, NY on 6/30/2022
I own a MAC7200 and I could not turn it up past 40 without feedback through my speakers or even walk anywhere near it. I tried moving turntable, and a couple cheaper options to solve the problem and no luck. I'd almost given up on vinyl. I called Crutchfield, talked with Luke who suggested the OREA bronze and WOW what a difference. My vinyl sounds better at low and louder volumes. I'm happy to say I can now crank it with out the feedback problems. If you have this problem don't hesitate to buy these. You will not regret it.
Pros: They work
Cons: Non

Really work
Marty from New Smyrna, FL on 1/19/2022
I ought these OREA Bronze acoustic pads to put under a center speaker sitting on top of my audio cabinet. I had previously purchased IsoAcoustics GAIA II feet for my Goldenear tower speakers. My wife and I both noticed a significant cleaner and distinct sound from the speakers--individual guitar strings could be heard, so added these to the center speaker. They may sound like snake oil but to us they really did the job.
Pros: Solidly built, attractive, significantly clean up the sound
Cons: A bit pricey but worth it considering the cost of my entire system and the significant improvement to the sound.

Opens the sound stage
Richard from Pflugerville, TX on 1/19/2022
I have the Gaia 3s for my towers and these sit under my center and side surrounds. Defintely a difference the second I turned on my center speaker. More open clean, clear sound.
Pros: Isolation definitely helps with sound quality
Cons: Expensive

Very High Quality Product
Crutchfield customer from Parkville, MD on 6/22/2021
When I took these out of their individual boxes and held them in my hand I immediately knew that I was holding a very high quality product. I am very happy with this product. I am also very happy with the respect that Crutchfield has in their packaging and shipping. They package these very well and I actually received them in one day. I had previously bought some of these from the big online retailer before I knew that Crutchfield sold these. The ones from them took over a week to be delivered and came in just a plastic envelope with no cushioning/protection. I will always check with Crutchfield before I ever buy anything again. Crutchfield simply does it right.
Pros: Best In Class!!!
Cons: Absolutely None.

They work!
Crutchfield customer from Fort Mc Coy, FL on 5/23/2021
They work! My listening room has a plywood over 2x8 on cinder blocks for a floor system. I had very bad bass feedback problems into my turntable. These feet went a LONG way to eliminating the problem (30hz high-pass filters did the rest). Although these are fairly expensive when you have to buy four, they're worth it.
Pros: Really help with bass feedback.
Cons: Just a tad expensive when you have to buy four.

Worth every penny
Crutchfield customer from Brooks, GA on 3/10/2021
Unlocks the full spectrum of sound in the Sonos ARC soundbar. Used three of these beneath this component and it was such a significant difference, I let family and friends listen to it before and after, without mention of the change. No one could believe the sound coming from just a Sonos ARC sound bar (and sub...) mounted on these. Seems pricey but once you hear the difference, you'll know. Game changer for your home AV sound system.
Pros: -Isolates & Decouples Sonos ARC soundbar -Unlocks systems true potential -Adds depth and clarity to sound system
Cons: -none

Pricey but good. A "last mile" tweak.
Crutchfield customer from Madison, WI on 1/16/2021
Expensive but very well made. And they are especially good at handling lateral forces. I have some under my turntable, phono stage and music streamer. They are a "last mile" tweak... the improvement is subtle but real.

IsoAcoustics OREA Bronze

Experienced some sound enhancement, although possibly due more to the elevation of my speaker than from eliminating vibration. Make sure to measure the contact point/ feet of speaker; fit is key.

made a difference
Crutchfield customer from Rochester, NY on 12/15/2020
These made an immediate difference -- sounds seem more separated, tighter bass, vocals more distinguished from instrumentation. Also helps with random vibrations, and stopped any bumps from walking near the turntable. I used them for a vintage Bang & Olufsen RX2 turntable. Very easy to set up and place under the turntable. Fast shipping.

Magic?? Or, not...
Crutchfield customer from Haymarket, VA on 11/3/2020
They work! I had looked at these for several years and wondered whether they might simply be snake oil. After extended listening, I can say that they yield additional clarity in sound. The result is an expanded sound field, both in depth of field front to back and to the sides. Additionally, it seems to affect the bass, increasing the effect somewhat. I can only guess at how this is achieved. I think that by isolating the speaker enclosure from any connected surface that you create a closer to ideal point source in the space (the room). I used 3 each (8 pounds each...) under the Monitor Audio Silver 100s as my fronts. I think that they serve to remove more subtle resonances from the speaker enclosure/supporting surface, as well as eliminating any resonances coming from the surface itself. More of the energy from the signal goes into the speaker drivers without being lost. Or, maybe it is just voodoo. Either way, I am not going without them.
Pros: Produces a positive effect Well made
Cons: Pricey

Orea Bronze Takes Gold for the Win
Walter J. from Palm Beach Gardens, FL on 10/26/2020
I ordered my new OREA Bronze from Crutchfield after emailing Sean Morrison at IsoAcoustics Inc. I had a lot of questions before buying them. Sean took the time to answer all of them. I rolled the dice, and ordered 4 from Crutchfield. The sound improvement was immediate! The soundstage is more open and defined than ever before. Knocking the cabinet or touching the amps and records in the rack does not produce any noticeable sound at the turntable. Dead quiet. With the Bronze in place I can now say that I have exceeded my goal to improve the sound out of my vintage 1972 era turntable. The Bronze OREA is a simply amazing product that does everything as advertised. And they look really cool, too! IsoAcoustics, OREA's, and Crutchfield are a must-have for any home audio setup.
Pros: Looks Great Eliminates unwanted feedback. Opens up the Soundstage.
Cons: None

IsoAcoustics OREA Bronze
Crutchfield customer from Newnan, GA on 10/15/2020
Bought these to help isolate lower frequency vibrations to my vintage Teac turntable in my stereo cabinet. Did notice a difference, however, accidentally bumping the cabinet still creates unwanted sound while playing. These would probably work better for high end applications like CD players or Amplifiers.
Pros: Looks Great Does eliminate some unwanted feedback.
Cons: Raises turntable height almost too high to fit in cabinet Not a perfect solution for my needs.

Used for the isolation of an ARC Ref 10 preamp power supply. This was in addition to the OREA Indigo under the preamp unit. Combined they made the noise floor zero, no vibration. This unit was also on an HRS shelf and rack.
Pros: Easy installation

Oreas!
Raphael from ALEXANDRIA, VA on 7/17/2020
I am getting a sennheiser ambeo soundbar next week and ordered 4 isoacoutics pucks for the soundbar. While waiting for the soundbar, I put the pucks under an Aurender A10 music player. Better bass but slightly shrill on the upper range. Next day, I ordered 4 orea bronze isolators. Wow! What a difference - improved definition and isolation of instruments across the upper level, midrange and bass. Switched out one of the oreas so using 3 instead of 4 isolators - initial reaction is that there is a difference - will take some time to see if I prefer 3 isolators instead of 4. Will see if I prefer the pucks vs oreas under the soundbar.

Great Pruduct
Mark from EAST HARTFORD, CT on 5/21/2020
I bought theses for my Rege RP3 with groovetracer modifications (reference subplatter,delrin platter and record weight) to stop vibration from my subwoofers job done. It also made the mids and highs more defined and opened the sound stage. The bass is tighter but there seems to be a little less of it but with the dual subs you really don't notice it. Overall a great product and I am getting ready to order them for my OPPO and GAIA II for my Focal towers. Thanks Crutchfield for your fast serc vice.

Fixes turntable vibration issues.
Crutchfield customer from Columbus, OH on 4/27/2020
I placed these under a Pro-ject turntable that was picking up vibrations from my sub at higher volumes. The turntable is on a glass shelf of an audio stand. You could feel the vibrations in the stand, glass, and plinth. After the simple installation the problem was solved. They are very well made, and would highly recommend if you are having such issues. I would give them five stars, save for the cost. That said, I am considering another set for my CD player.
Pros: Well made and work.
Cons: Price.

IsoAcoustics OREA Bronze
Crutchfield customer from Seattle, WA on 4/19/2020
I bought these (and their smaller Graphite siblings) to isolate my amplification stack from a somewhat wobbly shelf. Four of the Bronze model was a bit oversized under the 10 pound preamp, but was a good match for the 20 pound power amp. I feel like I have a wider soundstage and cleaner ambiance around the instruments after installing them.
Pros: Much easier to install than getting a new cabinet! Better built and more confidence-inspiring than some of the other exotic isolation products on the market.
Cons: There may be cheaper solutions to be had.

IsoAcoustics OREA Bronze Review
Crutchfield customer from Andalusia, AL on 1/5/2020
I purchased the IsoAcoustics OREA Bronze to improve the performance of my co-purchased AT LP-120XUSB turntable in hopes it would improve its performance in the area of vibration dampening and feedback when playing my LPs at a high volume. They did not. For that reason, I feel the purchase was unnecessary.
Pros: None for me.
Cons: Did not provide the improvement I had hoped for.

IsoAcoustics OREA Bronze
Crutchfield customer from Syracuse, NY on 10/16/2019
I placed these under my Roksan radius 5/nima/Shelter501/3 and they made an immediately noticeable improvement. My system is on an old(1928) hardwood floor that I have to use a 20Hz HP filter to be able to use the turntable at all, so I was happy with the improvement enough to get some Gaia II's for my speakers, that also made a significant difference to both turntable and CD quality
Pros: Easy to install, significant. Improvement in sound quality.
Cons: None, for $150 these are a very worthwhile outlay.

The OREA Bronze are now underfoot!
Crutchfield customer from San Jose, CA on 9/8/2019
My Rega P6 turntable sits atop a wooden cabinet that also houses the turntable's psu and preamp, an Onkyo receiver, Blu-ray player, and CD player. So it order to isolate unwanted vibrations, etc. from the tt, I opted for a set of three IsoAcoustics OREA Bronze feet. They work like a charm. The expense is certainly worth the clarity of sound from the tt.

Improved the sound more than I expected
Crutchfield customer from Newnan, GA on 7/8/2019
I purchased six of these to use under two new PS Audio Stellar M700 monoblocks for my home theater system. I wanted to A/B them against a popular (and cheaper) sorbothane-like third-party footer, which I placed under other power amps. These Orea units are extremely well-made and have definitely refined the sound coming from my monoblocks. Clearer, deeper, and more "air" in the soundstage. When the M700s are completely broken in, and I've had ample time to A/B them with the other footers, I'll get back with the results. But already I am enjoying the sound too much to remove the Oreas!
Pros: superior vibration control and isolation, especially if you are using a cheap equipment rack
Cons: pricey (although not by "audiophile" standards), but they actually work!

Incredible Product
Crutchfield customer from Pittsburgh, PA on 5/22/2019
I used four of these under my Marantz CD player. The difference in clarity and soundstage was instant. Voices became more natural and every word more audible. The air around each instrument increased making the sound of each instrument more distinct. This is one of the best and easiest upgrades anyone can make to improve the overall sound quality of their system.
Pros: Easy setup Increase in sound quality
Cons: None

Decoupled my turntable from vibration!
Crutchfield customer from Mount Pleasant, WI on 5/7/2019
I had a problem with vibration and my turntable, so I bought (4) of these IsoAcoustics OREA Bronze pads to use with my turntable. In short, my turntable stand would vibrate from my speakers when I would play records. I would get a feedback type hum if I tried to go too loud, and I would have to turn down the volume. Using the IsoAcoustics OREA Bronze pads under my turntable has completely decoupled my turntable from my stand. These pads were a little smaller than the feet of my turntable, so I had to be careful in placing the pads and balancing the turntable on top. However, with the pads in place it feels like it is floating. Now, my turntable not only sounds as amazing as it should, but I can really turn it up without any kind of hum or feedback from vibration. Also, I noticed when I put the dust cover on while playing, there is barely any *thump*. Even the silence between tracks is now actually silent. I thought I would give these a try to solve my vibration problems before investing in a new stand or turntable. It was the best decision I could have made, and I love with my turntable again!
Pros: Decouples/Isolates equipment from vibration Improves playback and performance of turntable
Cons: The pads(2"diameter) were smaller than the feet on my equipment Stay within weight capacity per pad(bronze/8lb per pad) for best performance
