How does the Real Mute compare to electronic practice devices?

Accepted Answer

The electronic version of the Real Mute is in development, during the process we tested some electronic mute and we discovered that there is no justification to add electronics, wires and wireless are not reliable, and the total price will rise up.
Our solution is much better and is free of charge!
We use the basic body phenomenon that when we close and seal our ears, the internal volume of the inner ear will rise up.
We advise using external earphones, wired or wireless, "on ear" or "over ear" .You will notice that the volume we "hear" will be higher than without the earphone.
The sound vibrations from the instrument will travel straight through the bones to your ear.
Moreover you can play with playbacks and backing tracks:
Connect and play your favorite music to your earphones, adjust the volume and pitch and play with your favorite album.
