A lot of people think they can make these, then when they try they realize how expensive it is and return to these premade panels. The truth of the matter is that these companies get wholesale discounts to material you do not have access to which is why they can make them es masse and you will struggle to find cheap vinyl or velvet.
$5.66 for a 1"x3"x8' pine board: https://www.homedepot.c
Only 1 needed for 2'x2'
Fabric is up to you, but for example I used Duck Canvas which is $10 for a yard from Joann (before discounts): https://www.joann.com/jo-ann-stor...23683.ht
So for $180 I could make 12 2'x2' panels, plus the cost of some woodscrews and staples. They will work better at 2" vs 1" thick, and you can customize your fabric. If you aren't able to do the cutting or whatever that's a different story, but you can definitely make them cheaper yourself.
100%, however, for those that want to set it and forget it, these are a good option. Like you said though, a 2inch option would be much better.
Much better than that foam crap - that does absolutely nothing.

You left out a lot of other things someone may need like
a saw
a screwgun
a staple gun
a measuring tape
maybe a square
probably others but I'm not a carpenter
You could say this about a lot of things, but without the tools and skills, not everyone can do this.
I'm sure you can and that is great, but you probably have tools already
From the photos, it looks mostly decorative, maybe the its function is to reduce echoes.
If possible, demo your thin walls, you can achieve higher STC rating with double 5/8" sheetrock on both sides and fiberglass insulation(Rockwood acoustical insulation only gets a few points to STC). Also definetly use green acoustic glue between the sheetrock.
Low frequency (heavy bass) sound wave propagation can only be stopped by adding more mass - that's why they make MLV, mass loaded vinyl sheets if you can only do one layer of sheetrock.
This looks cool though if you have a lot of echoing.
will this help if you have a crystal chandelier like 4 feet above your mic? I usually do videos/record in my dining room -_-
Can I just lay these on my dining table just for when I record?
