Acoustic foam from china --- Good?

I'm planning to treat my studio room with foam panels and bass traps in the corners. Also put a carpet on the floor.
Any of you guys have bought foam form china?
It looks like the same materials as good manufacturers like Auralex. But is it as effective?
Good panels sell for X5 or more time the price of the one you can find on ebay or amazon.
Should I buy these from china and expect just a little less that the good ones?
I don't wanna spend 1k on that...

Thanks!
 
You're running a risk. You can't guarantee that non-branded Chinese foam will have even close to the acoustic properties of branded stuff like Auralex.
It might be the same foam... It probably won't be.
And chances are you'll have no recourse if the product is crappy. You'll be stuck with it (assuming it actually arrives).

If you're really trying to save cash then RWA45 (rockwool) slabs, some cheap linen, some timber and some hard graft and a staple gun have been proven to work well.
