Bass traps are acoustic energy absorbers which are designed to damp low frequency sound energy with the goal of attaining a flatter low frequency (LF) room response by reducing LF resonances in rooms.
Are foam bass traps any good?
Foam bass traps do pretty well in reducing the echo because they are primarily meant for dealing with mid and high frequencies. Bass frequencies, the ones lower than 100Hz are much harder to absorb. Low-frequency sounds travel much longer distances than higher, which is why they are rather difficult to absorb.

Places of high pressure along a wall or corner are actually the worst places to put your insulation material bass trap! The closer you get to the wall, the lower particle velocity gets. In a standing wave sound pressure is at a maximum where sound velocity is at a minimum because they are 90° out of phase.
