Just a note on compatibility
Note that this product won't fit the Stentor Student 2 for example.
The widest (bottom part) 0.3cm and the thinnest part (top) is mere 0.1cm (approx)
So if you want to use the mute you'll need bridge that tapers accordingly to fit the mute.

Perfect for practising in dorm rooms
I wanted something to really tone down the volume of my playing because
1) I'm playing in student accommodation in my dorm room, &
2) I'm embarrassed about my horrible playing
and this mute is pretty much your best bet for that! It's really sturdy and solid, and doesn't affect the sound. I've read other reviews that warn against pushing the mute too far down that it marks your bridge, but I find that it doesn't go down all the way anyway, and since I am quite careful when I place it on, it doesn't do any harm to the bridge or strings. It is rather heavy, being made of metal, so it adds to your poor arm's fatigue, but I'm hoping with more practice I will get used to having it there.

Produces a softer sound
I've used this metal mute on my beginner violin and the difference in sound is that when you use this mute the sound will drop about 10 decibels from 60-80 Db to 50-70 depending of your playing style. The sound will become more narrow and less percing but if you are in the next room at home doing nothing you can still hear someone play with a mute ON. almost like the sound of two people talking but with the sound of strings so they still pierce a bit more than any other sound at home.
The sound becomes less vibrant and in a sence more direct and simple but at a slightly lower tone.
If you ad some strings that has quicker bow respons and lower sound you could get a more quiet sound and maybe find something you can practice at home with without disturbing anyone in the house.

good mute
If you want maximum muting of your violin, this is the mute to buy.
Just place it lightly but firmly on the bridge of your violin. Do not press down too hard otherwise it will mark your bridge.
The only negative points I can give for this mute is that you can't see the contact point of your bow with the string when mute is in position which may be slightly off-putting. Your right hand may also catch the top of the mute when playing near the grip of the bow if you're not careful.
Also, the V-shape of the mute (where the mute straddles the bridge) will not conform to all bridges properly - if your bridge is too thick or too thin the mute risks marking your bridge or falling off. Be careful when fitting!

Gets the job done
It hangs rather loose on the bridge, so there is always the fear of droping the mute on violin, or your feet.
But as a mute, it gets the job done. It will drastically reduce the volume of your violin. Unfortunately the resulting sound is rather metallic and you may dislike it.
Just be carefull that you dont forget what your violin actually sounds like while practicing with the mute!

Alright...
The idea is nice, but it keeps slipping off the bridge. Because of this, the G-string will sound as loud as always. The overall sound is also really thin, not bad, just a little different. I also have a metal mute with rubber coating and that one stays on its place and mutes even better. But... I think it depends on the type of violin or bridge or strings how good it'll do its job.

Doesn't fit the bridge
I bought this for one of my students. Unfortunately, this mute doesn't fit the bridge. It doesn't mute all the strings and it falls off. I tried my own mute and that worked fine, so the mute was the problem and not the bridge. Unfortunately I had thrown all the package away, otherwise I would have sent it back.

Ok, but not for my taste
The choice of a mute is something that varies according to the individual
If you want a metal mute, you should bear in mind that you will mix more "metal" in your sound set up
It is a relatively heavy mute, thus significantly reducing the amount of volume produced, by making the bridge heavier.
If you want to practice almost silently it's a very decent choice.
the only drawbacks, are that you have to be more careful than usual, so as not to damage the bridge of your violin, and that the sound really changes on some instruments besides getting just more quiet

Very good
You want your neighbors to be happy? This does the job.
With this mute, your violin actually makes as much noise as the yamaha silent violin! It is pretty amazing how much it reduces the sound.
