A felt divider of unstated size, or a 160 cm polyester panel with adjustable height
Do you need a felt divider of unstated size, or a large 160 cm panel with adjustable height and a pinboard?
Both use soft, porous material rather than rigid plastic, and both are sold as damping office noise; neither publishes an absorption figure. The difference is in what you can check: the Ergotopia states its size, height adjustment and clamp range, the ForceRoute none of them.

A tick marks the better answer on that line only. Counting ticks does not decide the page — the two verdicts below do, because these products answer different questions.
No amazon.com listing was found for this one. We hold references for other markets but none for the United States, so it may not be buyable here — which is the first thing to weigh against anything below.
Take the ForceRoute for a soft felt panel with rounded edges — after asking the seller its size and clamp range.

Take the Ergotopia for a large panel you can size against your desk, with adjustable height and a clamp range for desks up to 3 cm.
No. Both soft materials damp some reflected noise around the desk, but neither publishes an absorption figure, and a desk divider does not stop sound passing over or around it.
The Ergotopia states three clamps for desks up to 3 cm (1.2 in) thick; the ForceRoute gives no clamp count or range. Measure your desk edge first — measuring desk thickness for a clamp shows how.
Thick felt · clamp-mounted · rounded edges · screens both sides
A clamp-mounted felt desk divider in thick, lint-free felt with rounded edges, screening both sides of the desk and damping keyboard and voice noise — with no size published.
Best for: A shared desk or a counter where a soft panel and some noise damping matter more than exact size.
160 × 80 × 2.8 cm (63 × 31.5 × 1.1 in) · recycled polyester · height-adjustable · pinboard
A 160 × 80 cm (63 × 31.5 in) acoustic desk divider in recycled polyester fiber, height-adjustable so it can also screen below the desktop, with a pinboard surface and three clamps for desks up to 3 cm thick.
Best for: An open-plan or shared desk where the whole edge needs screening and nearby talk needs damping.
