String Dampeners: BUZNUT vs MAB string dampener

[Richard W]

Have any of you guys played with these? What do you think is better?

Kind of dead sounding to me and yes I have been to their site and watched the video.

What's the point? Anytime I've played and wanted my strings dampened (which, I honestly don't do often), I just use a ponytail band. Why pay for a device to do this?
