We are personally inclined towards pampet tenor trombone practice mute, it is not so pricy, but it overachieves its purpose and outstanding in important aspects. This is a small portable quiet mute excellent for practicing without disturbing others. It brings the sound down to about the equivalent sound level of people having a conversation. It's a plastic shell with a small hole at the bell end and a little 2-3 inch tube going from the hole into the mute and a foam pad where it goes into the horn. It sharpens the pitch slightly, but you can either pull your main tuning slide out to compensate and/or use your ear to adjust.
This design is very smart. It is perfect for apartment rehearsing. The crazy amount of back pressure makes playing in the high register almost undoable. It is a trombone practice mute only, not a straight or cup mute.

The bremner tenor trombone practice mute is capable of outshining several other mute featured in this list in overall features for the price point. One of the things mutes do is make it feel different to your mouth and slightly change your embouchure. You can hear it when you are right there, not too quiet, but it is a mute. This mute is super light. It has a synthetic cork that will not fall out. The diameter is about 2.5", including the cork surrounding it. It's perfect for practice when you don't want to bother people.
This is really great when playing in apartments because it cuts the sound drastically. It is so light, yet makes sound so soft. It's perfect for warm-ups before going on stage.
Why We Like This:
Low resistance, almost feels like blowing the real thing

Not everyone likes to purchase mute for their regular usage, but the yamaha tenor trombone practice mute would be an anomoly. It is a one-piece gold brass bell, yamaha's clone of the conn 88h, professional model. It is easy to tighten and loosen intentionally but it is snug in there. The brass resonance modeling technology makes the sound you hear through the headphones incredibly realistic, almost as if you didn't have a mute at all. It does add a little weight to the bell. It is perfect for playing along with recordings or "minus one" practice aids.
Yamaha added digital technology to make the sound you hear through the headphones incredibly realistic, almost as if you didn't have a mute at all. The mute duly recesses into the bell so you don’t have to store it separately. This is amazing and a must have for anyone who plays or has kids who play trombone.
Why We Like This:
A light buzz quieter than a microwave running
The added benefit of practicing without disturbing others is a bonus
Amazingly quiet, but full sound in headphones
Great tool,excellent when you don't want to disturb others

Pro Tec offers a variety of mute for personal choice and yet maintaining quality in all the variants. It is great as a bass trombone practice mute. The mark of a good practice mute such as this one, is that the degree of pitch variance is within tolerable limits, easily adjustable, especially for a bass trombone. It sticks out a little from the bell, but fits fine in a Cronkite bag.
The mute is lightweight and can be easily stowed inside the bell with a gig bag. There is a "dead-zone" starting on pedal B-flat down, but the rest of the practical range is solid. It works perfectly for warming up for rehearsals. It can be used in a trombone and it works great. The sound is so nice when you use it.
