Product Description:

Plantronics .Audio PC Headset Speaker Switch - I've got a great set of speakers for my computer. When I play games or watch DVDs, I crank those bad boys to 10! However once the wife goes to sleep, I've got to mess around behind the computer and plug the headset in. This nightly chore is extremely annoying - but not anymore! Plantronics has come to save the day with this handy little device. You just plug it into your soundcard and then plug your speakers&headset into it. Now with the click of the button you can switch between the two! How cool is that!?

Works as advertised
I bought this to solve the problem of having to unplug my desktop speakers and plug in my gaming headset (speaker + mic leads) into the back of my computer every time I wanted to use the headphones (particularly for late night gaming when everyone else in the house is asleep). This device is perfectly suited for this application. With a flip of the switch I can use headphones (using the headset mic as well) or desktop speakers. The unit is a little flimsy and tends to slide around the desk but other than that it's working great!

Sound switches does as advertised!
I used to constantly have to unplug my speakers, then plug in my headphone, then unplug them and replug in my speakers --- what a hassle!!! I didn't have to go underneathe my desk or the CPU as I had added an audio extension cord, but plugging/unplugging was inconvenient and probably wore on the ends.

Thanks to the Plantronics PC Speaker/Headset Switch, I'm saved from messing with cords and plugging/unplugging several times a day! Now it's just so simple and easy as pressing a button to have speaker on or switch to headphone on. Finally a product that works as advertised, and one of those products that you'd never think would be useful but it truly is if you're in an environment in which you sometimes need peace and quiet, and sometimes you want to be loud and have the speakers on. I have 2 speakers and a subwoofer and very nice headphones, have not noticed any difference in sound quality.

About the packaging, it says it "instantly shift between speakers and headset...Toggles between speakers and headset with the effortless touch of a button. Compatible with PC sound cards for plug-and-play ease." The actual Plantronics switcher is 3" x 4" and is lightweight with 4 small round rubber grips on the bottom. Item is not heavy enough to stay in place if your speaker/headphone cords are hanging off the table, so adding a velcro/sticky at the bottom is advised.

Item has one cord coming out of it that splits into a green end [speakers] and a pink end [headphone] for plugging into your computer soundcard. Item does not require power to work, so it took about 2 minutes total to install, open the package, unplug your items and plug it into the Plantronics switch device and plug its cord into the correct computer holes.

Item can be found in several different places, such as here or eBay or Radioshack or MicroCenter...available under $15, very affordable and worth it! Comes with 1 year warranty by Plantronics.

Highly recommended for anyone who is tired of switching between speakers and headphone by plugging/unplugging, get this and just press a button, PRESTO!

Awesome
This is great for when one person likes to have the sound loud while playing video games and the other person doesn't want to hear it. It also makes it simple to switch back to a mode in which everyone can enjoy your computer's mp3s.

Simple device. Works as it should. Would be nice if there were 3 outputs.
