Please note: This is the practice mute ONLY, without the Personal Studio receiver unit or headphones.The mute offers superior muting performance, excellent intonation over a wide pitch range, and natural playability.The compact and lightweight mute can be stored inside the bell of most trumpets even inside the case, making it easy to store and transport.
I've been playing with the new Yamaha Silent Brass (PM7X), and I think it's great. You can also buy just the mute if you don't feel like spending $200 for the full studio. Depends on what you're looking for though. Part of the reason I went with the Yamaha was the design. It sits flush with the bell when it's in the instrument, which makes traveling with it easier - stick it in the bell, stick the trumpet in your case, and you're good. No bulky mutes to carry. Best Brass and Dillon make mutes that sit flush with the bell as well. Best Brass also makes an E-Mute, which allows for recording and utilizing music minus one without the extra studio system that Yamaha sells.
If ease of travel isn't a concern and you want to save a bunch of money, the Bremner Sshhmute is a great option, like u/violindad said. I played on one once and I remember it feeling very similar to the Yamaha and was just as quiet. If you want both portability and affordability, the Dillon mute would be the way to go. Extremely quiet for the price.
