I purchased the "Whitmor Collapsible Cubes" for $9.99 for a Two-Pack. They are available at Target…or on-line here.
You know what? It really sounds good. Here's a pic:

It's in the BAG.
While we are waiting for our next mic test, let me update you on a voiceover project from a while ago. I think it was Harlan Hogan that suggested and demonstrated how using a collaspable storage box/bag stuffed with acoustic foam can be an excellent portable vocal booth when traveling.

Can you post a sample using this box?
Certainly. That's a good idea. The sound varies a lot as you position the mic front to back in the box. Look for it soon on the VO Mic Test page.
Thanks, Willie
hey thanks for posting the sample! I was wondering for one more favor, whats the best foam for vocals to put in the box? can you recommend a specific brand/item? Thanks!
Good question. We should do a whole thing on audio acustics and sound control. But to answer your question--you get what you pay for.
The considerations for acustical foam include thre right density, scientifically researched design and most importantly, proper building code approval.
Along this line, you can't go wrong with the Melamine and the industry standard--Auralex.
BUT...we are not building a full-blown Vocal Booth here. Just a bag/box thingy.
I would recommend the less expensive 2" wedge or pyamid foam.
