ISOVOX 2 Portable Isolation Booth Review | GEAR GODS 

For $900 it could of came with a LCD screen on the inside to read the lyrics.

This video absolutely rocks (and not just your vocals). Exactly what I needed to make a go/no-go purchase decision! Vastly appreciate it man!

900 bucks is way too steep of a price for a mini portable vocal booth. You could probably pimp the hell out a closet and get better results.

I was waiting for a test like this... thanks!!! very well done.

I need this, I'm usually insecure that I'm too loud

Just got the ISO VOX 2 second hand, for about 1/4 of the original price. It solves a lot of problems for me like reflections, AC, external noise, worrying about neighbours. It's heavier than expected but still very portable. I looked at many options and they were ineffective e.g. moving blankets, a pain to make or super expensive so I'm happy with this. It's a tiny bit boxy and muddy because the size but the pros far outweigh the cons.

This looks like the biggest VR helmet ever

after being in the iso box with you, i can honestly say i feel like i know your inner self

My search for a reasonable sound isolation continues.

I'm thinking about getting this. The closet-solution seems like a good idea, but my apartment is really small and i don't have room for a closet. This i could probably make room for. I'm not very good ad singing in front of people and i'm always afraid people will hear me. Luckily my apartment is pretty well isolated. Do you think i could muffle the sound even more if i threw, say a blanket, over the isovox when using it?

Thanks for the great demo. Really thorough!

You can build one at home depot. It's all about mass, which affects the transmission of sound through any particular medium. Super secret formula = 3/8" drywall + rocksul insulation foam + 30% compression + 3/8" drywall + another layer of sound insulation facing towards the microphone. Directions sandwich them together build your self a mini room and boom you got yourself a high absorption, high transmission mini sound shed. For way less then $1200 bucks. For that much you could renovate your bathroom. Or if you have a closet that you can use just line the whole thing with sound insulation from homedepot. Done!

That's great! I wished I had this thing at my past apartments. Great review and test.

The price is waaaay too high. I'll wait until this product gets replicated.

Hi, any reason when could make something similar with like wood foam and a few hinges and a light strip?. Thank you for this thorough review

So here is the truth about this product. I've got mine yesterday . It looks and smells nice , somewhat pleasant on the eye and not much space consuming. It also does a fair 15db reduction (I've tested it with the app I have on my phone) . Strangely enough the same amount of reduction I get when I cover myself in blankets (I mean cmone ,we all do that if we don't want to be heard when we sing loud ...). However another thing that you should pay attention to , is the fact that you can only use "standing" mics inside , my dynamic shure 57 doesn't fit into the booth , because it is too close to the back lid. Bummer ! And how should I record my vocals with SM57B ? I mean this is the greatest mic for vocals ever... didn't think that through ... And finally the sound within the booth ... Well yeah it is boomy to my taste. It is not as boomy as being in actual box , but still . I don't really even considering the boominess as an issue , cause I can't record with my mic inside !!!! it doesn't fit ! it should be horizontally placed and not vertically . And 15db reduction , definetly not worth the price I've paid. I would love this product if it was at least twice as cheap. But for that hight price I do have hight expectations , and that box doesn't deliver ... Oh and BTW , I don't know if this video is edited or the mic was far away from the isovox . But When I sing inside , my wife hears me from 2 rooms away ... So I guess it didn't solve my problem... Thanks to Thomann , I can return the box within 30 days ... Which I think I will do ... Never was so disappointed in my life...

great review, I really appreciate your work

You can make something just as effective, not as pretty, but for about 10% of the price. Patented my ass lol

So, basically....it is a box made with seat cushions.

Thanks for the review. I'm considering this for voiceover work but the price is a little steep. I've seen other videos where people make their own recording booth with PVC piping and shipping blankets for a couple hundred bucks. Maybe if I could test this somewhere myself without first buying it that would be helpful. Might need to plan a trip up to NY or Sweetwater HQ.

Does an SM7b fit in this? Does it come with the stand? I'm assuming you'll need a speaker stand cause a standard mic stand will not hold this up.

Thank you, Chris Pratt! Seriously though, great review, I am looking into purchasing this, cheers!

Just built the equivalence to this in about half an hour and for less than 50$. No sound gets out even when im screaming my lungs out

Sound test right after the intro huh, I like this guy already

Don't fart will using this kids remember hot air rises.

Hey Trey, I heard you mentioned you used to record with Kaotica Eyeball. I just bought one hoping -maybe- it would kill the noise of the street I live next to but it didn't really work. Not to blame the KE really, the background noise outside is huge. Do you think the isovox2 could do a better job here?

Gear God is there no noise floor or anything? i mean is it the mojavee mic because it sounds noiseless even without the isovox by the way i loved your review and i'm getting one

The problem is when you need to listen to the mix and your headphones add up a total of 14 centimeters to the singer's face width. Is there enough room to sing with beyerdinamic DT770 headphones on?

Thanks for this great review! Can you hang a piece of paper with lyrics under those LED lights?

So the sound is pretty well contained? I live in an apartment with thin walls and want a good way to record loud vocals while keeping the sound contained without bothering the neighbors

What condensor mics would you recommend to use with this?

Where can I find that style pop filter. It’s thick but not cutting off the voice at all. Anyone please?!

I think I'm gonna try and build something like that myself.

What about the hot weather! Can I record while the air condationar switch on?

Thank you, very informative.

How well does it keep sound out?

Have you tried recording acoustic guitar with it?

I can literally get my room sound-proofed for the price of this thing

How does Trey not sing in a metal band? YOU ARE GODLIKE AT SINGING!!!

they should do it so that you could adjust the height instead of making it 1 certain height

How do you do voice overs if your head is stuck in a small box?

From where can I buy this jewel?

A sound blanket over you would conceal the rest of the outside/psss sounds?

I believe this is designed to stop room reflection and outside noise, not as a way to make your neighbours happy.

Everyone needs a friend like David!

Wow that's pretty neat. I love how it looks! Now stick a claustrophobic vocalist in there.

Awesome video 👍🏻

You have a good vocal voice, i like your control

It just sounds really boxy to my ear! 100-200hz boomy or boxy. Dead? Most definitely. An improvement over an untreated room? Possibly. But that boxiness/resonance is just a deal breaker in my opinion. You need at least some low mid in a vocal take and if you have to EQ all of the low mid out to take the box out, I question if all the benefits are worth it?

What is the name of the song at the beginning of the video? Anyone. I cannot make it out.

Damn, your growls are awesome

Wich pop filter is that? Thanks

best purchase i made in years! i mean listen to the difference at 2:36 how well it works ... i love it ... this and the clearsonic absorber walls are a must have for people without a proper recording room imo ... it is expensive but sounds soooooo much better then other solutions ... I even tried to build it myself and ti would cost around 500 euros for material only so price is kind of okay ... they could go a bit lower imo xD

Do you recommend it for opera singers ? 😅

Damn I just want to hear you sing Holy Diver now

Does it get hot in the booth after being in there for a while?

I like that damn pop filter haha ! What brand is that ?

how does it sound in the mix?!?

A new option to look into is the imperative audio portable vocal booth. Its more expensive but much better product

Does this thing work where pll can hear you ?

🗣The Velvet Lieeeesssssssss 🔥Classic Shit brohamski

I can't see any possible application for this.

I would totally get one if it was like a quarter of the price. Far far too expensive. As it is I'm tempted to DIY something similar.

Wish it was big enough to fit a laptop for voiceovers.

probly only $1295 RIGHT?

Does it come with a stand?

Nice stuff for nice home vocal recording, nice finish. Also great stuff for small studio. Terrible thing for voice isolation from your neighbors. I guess DIY stuff can be much more effective.

It sounds boxy in my headphones so is it a pain when editing your vocals ? Compared to a room that has sound treatment..

Gear Gods, an information about reduction by frequencies would be even more useful.

Sounds like there's a bit of boxiness, something going on in the low mids?

I feel very small whenever it shows the angle from inside the box lol

Great voice

you can install the Velcro by yourself, daaah

What songs are bro singin?

cool thank you

6:01 bro my heart stopped for a second

awesome

You had me at (sound of) your vocals, you lost me at the price tag.

your voice is great !!!!! 👍

shoutouts to Daviiiiiddddd

doesn't work with the c800G though ..

I really, really want to like this, and whilst the price is not great it's a bit of a side issue for me: it honestly sounds really like you've got your head in a box. Because you do. It's a shame, because this would otherwise be a very elegant solution.

I'ma buy it cause it'll be simple to get this and not try and build and a whole booth cause I live in a apartment

Couldn't you just build an isolation booth for less and still be just as portable and much more effective?

GREAT VIDEO GREAT VOICE

I love your singing 😉

Well i want you all to share a little thing about my singing life , i used to walk off 8km away from my home which is in the middle of my hometown and go inside the dense forest area just to avoid singing inside my home because some of my ugly crackhead neighbors never understood my singing style they thought i was disturbing their peace , they even had threatened me to put me into jail but i never gave up my dream to become a perfect good professional singer . So i did this about 4 years of effort continuously without gaping , eventually my singing voice became stronger day by day but it's been like a few months that i had not been going into the jungles because I'm afraid i could be eaten by leopards and bears that roam around the jungle sometimes ...........so im really very happy to finally see a thing that could satisfy my needs . Let's see if it works good .

Let’s all be honest if he was my neighbor singing like that “between the velvet lies” I would think I missed the rapture train....

If you have a fear of closed spaces forget it.

What song are you singing?

How many db does it reduce from the outside world?

I want to hear loud scream in this :)

Dose it come with stand

I feel much dread when he says forever in that booth at 7:17

Great idea. Waaaay too expensive. I'm sure you could roll your own for ALOT less cash.

It’s like putting suppressors on a M134 Minigun

I think that your thinking of it backwards...it’s to keep sound from getting to your mic not keeping you quiet to others.

David’s just like: “whatever man just hurry the fuck up”

Damn this guy's a good vocalist.

Not surprisingly, sticking your head inside a box and signing into a mic sounds like you are singing with your head stuck in a box. I think it absolutely sounds boxy.
