TP,

Hello from sunny Los Angeles.

I prefer real sound, even if muted, over earphones. A tight cup mute stuffed into a hotel pillow has saved me on many occasions. So has practicing outside in rest-stops along Interstate highways. Otto Sautter (German piccolo trumpet specialist) is famous for late night practice in his car. . . NO chance of ever finding me doing that!

Best,
EC
