This box is fantastic
I really enjoy singing, i love to sing online too, especially with all the staying at home. On that platform people always ask me "are you singing in a box?" And then they ask me more info when i explain its purpose.
I live in a appartment building from the 1950's, the concrete makes sound travel further than you want it too. My neighbour below complained and the others knew i sang. That is a bit awkward and inhibited me a little bit. Especially if you want to do scales, that doesn't make you friends anywhere anyway.
Enter the Isovox: to start with the downside, its not ideal to do a 1 hour scale practicing session, because it will get a bit warm inside. However, if the alternative is angry neighbours it can be a real lifesaver.
Also, i record a song or two, and then open the flap for some air, and doing this i can stay in there for a long time withouth being bothered. I sooner get tired of standing up than of the box life itself.
The isovox adequately dampens sounds, i would say you are still quite audible but it take the edge off. Say that if you heard someone sing loud in the other room, now it would seem like a (loud) conversation. (maybe the worst 40% volume is gone)
But dont let me convince you, listen to my 80 year old neighbour lady below, she said my singing bothered her. Now, it doesnt anymore she told me. Now, in order to please her more i should probably need to buy a silent guitar as well and some carpet ("you drop stuff")...
About the Isovox itself: it is well built, quite beautiful (mine is white) for what it is, also on the inside. It is kind of massive but i like its looks enough that it does not bother me. My cats havent abused it yet, in 5 months, so that is a good sign as they destroy everything else.
Make sure you get a nice stand, the one included in my thomann package was so-so (millenium) as the twisting lever in the middle broke and now it is stuck at a certain height.

Sounds like my 100k ProStudio, only a bit more bass
I'm used to be working in professional studio environments, so i'm pretty blessed by great acoustics & recordings in my everyday work. However, i needed a solution in my new apartment-studio.
So i got the new isovox-box.
Pros:
- Totally removes my shitty apartment-room sound, (this is the best solution i have ever tried).
- Isolates enough so i'm not disturbing my neighbors when screaming & recording. (-25 dB from my test) good enough ! definately not totally quiet, but it's like speaking volume.
- Sounds just like the Pro-Studio at my work, only a bit more bass.
Cons:
- It can be a bit warm, but what the hell...
- maybe the chest cut-out could be bigger, my beard gets in the way sometimes ;)
- Price, yes it's expensive. Just like my great microphones.
- the bass build-up is there, but it's easily eq:d away, not really an issue
My advice:
Get this if you are serious about recording or singing at home.
If price is an issue, try some diy-stuff, you can manage alot.

I've been waiting for Isovox for a long time, I've been working in music studios for 40 years. Isovox Mobile Vocal Booth V2 is the best investment

Good choice
Only one thing that I didn`t actually like was a cheap plastic zipper. I think, for the price, there can be more quality metal zipper.
The sound, which I recorded with Isovox 2 was really good quality. Just like I`ve made a recording in the professional studio.
The voice reduced in acceptable level. When I singing loud it looks like a talk. So, the neightbors won`t be disturbed.
To summarize my impressions I can say, that Isovox 2 is a very good choice for those people, who want to get a professional sound quality at home or to practice singing.
