Also avoid the crappy foam products, you want rigid fibre rockwool style panels/corner fitments.

This site is a worthwhile read for an overview of what they do.

Thanks for the info. Would definitely be interesting to hear the difference with some proper acoustic treatment. Alas, I don't have the money for it now and won't for a while, unfortunately. This upgrade has already bled me dry as it is
