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!?

Only one flaw... December 10, 2004

Great product, but with one glaring discrepancy: The microphone port is disabled when the switch is set to speaker output. This assumes the user won't use a microphone simultaneously with speakers, which in fact I do quite often. Other than that, a very handy device.
 It does have stereo July 15, 2004

Other reviews claiming mono are wrong - when I first plugged it in I too noticed all the sound coming out of only 1 channel. However I then pushed the plug fully and firmly in and it works fully in stereo confirmed by several tests and hasn't reverted back.Sound quality? I bought 2 of these, since I have surround sound headphones (Zalman 5.1s) and good speakers (Klipsch Promedia 4.1s) to switch between. This is combined with an Audigy 2 ZS sound card so I was very concerned about losing any quality. After comparing several sources (mp3's, speaker tests, games) with and without the switch, I'm personally not able to discern any difference in sound quality so far in the hours I've used it. In short works in stereo and can save a lot of hassle constantly changing plugs in the back of your PC. Definitely recommended.

A simple device. Plugs into the sound card and allows you to choose either the computer speakers or a headset. Works well when the kids want to play computer games with the volume up. The switch has been attached to my PC for four months. It does what the product description says it will do. It is easy to hook up.
Solid switch December 29, 2004

Having this switch spares a lot of groping around trying to change from headphones to speakers. One flick of a switch and you go easily back and forth. I notice no sound loss, interference or distortion.
Good, solid product.
NOT FOR COMPUTERS ONLY! January 29, 2005

This device can also be used with any audio unit (for example, a portable CD player) that has a mini-plug output jack--enabling you to switch from headphones to, say, amplified speakers, without the aggravating ritual of removing one plug from the playback unit and inserting the other (and wearing out the jack in the process); and at the computer, it can be used for instantly switching from those typically weak (but often useful) built-in monitor speakers to more powerful desktop speakers, as source material and circumstances demand. (Of course, you'll need one switch for each such arrangement.) A marvelously simple and simply marvelous device, with more uses than Plantronics chooses to advertise.
