Hi Troops,

What have you been upgrading your cheap/ not very good (I'm being kind) headphones that are supplied with the Silent Mute with?

Thanks,
Chops

IMHO: Better headphones on this product, just magnified how bad the internal components truely are! For something that is suppose to be silent, it is anything but... At first I thought it was just the older model I was using so I upgraded to the newest unit and after one practice session I returned it to my local music store. The mute itself was just OK but the effects where so noisy that I found it distracting and the sound of my horn through the YSM sounded like a toy. For the life of me, I do not know how these sell but, then again, perhaps this is why E-bay is flooded with them?

I am an electonics gadget nut but I am using an old school silent mute (no electronics).

I have looked into the Best Brass product but I think they suffer the same issues from what I have read?
