can't beat em for $30


I also use Altec Lansing (next model up)

Great headset. the inline vol control is great. I can mute my speakers, turn up the vol on the headset and I dont disturb the family when flying late at night.

Should have 1 male end and split into 2 female ends.
the idea is you plug the male end into your sound card.
then you plug your speakers into one female end and the headset into the other.
Now you can turn down the volume on the speakers themselves and still hear and adjust the volume on your headset.
And when you want sound out of your speakers just turn the volume dial upon the speaker itself
And you can kiss your cable swapping days goodby forever


LOL naturally the simple I overlooked.

Thanks Dred
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.
