Switch from headphones to speakers With my currect setup if I plug headphones into the headphone jack of my computer speakers the sound will go to the headphones and no longer come from the speakers. When I unplug the headphones sound returns to the speakers. Does this mean that every time I want to listen speakers I will need to unplug the charging base. I'm hoping the Sennheiser setup would allow me to plug in the base and still hear sound from my speakers until I lift the headphones from the base which turns on the headphones, kills the speakers and sends the music to the headphones. Can anyone tell me if this is how it works? Having to plug in the base to my cordless everytime I listen to them wouldn't be ideal. Leaving it plugged in would be.Thanks.

Thanks for your help. This device is certainly very affordable, do you think my desktop speakers sound quality will suffer from running it through this?

your computers speakers are running off of a 3.5mm mini plug out of the computer correct? why don't you just use a headphone splitter (1 to 2) and plug them both in simultaneously? then your speakers wont know whether the headphones are plugged in our not. this headphone splitter is about $3 at radio shack.

I have not personally used this switch, but considering its affordability, I would give it a try-- it could always be utilized in other ways, e.g. stereo systems, televisions, even gaming devices... anything that serves both headphones and external speakers. Good luck and good listening!

If you mean having to unplug the headphone jack every time you want to hear your computer speakers, yes. Lifting the headphones from the base does nothing but stop charging them, you still have to turn them on, to hear anything, and as long as the cord from the base is plugged into your computer, you won't hear the speakers.

I'm not sure what you are asking. It sounds like what you are doing is wrong. Headphones cannot be plugged into an input, try again.

Well the question is a bit confusing. I am not sure what you mean by work with these USB speakers, but yeah you can plug both of them into separate USB ports. Every time you want to use your headphones, you will need to change the audio device being used in settings manually or plug out the usb receiver for the speakers. Obviously I have never tried this myself so there might be driver conflict issues.

Hi. It´s probably defective,, but I always use the headphone or aux "out" to an extarnal speakers, the sound from the built in speakers is not good, so before you return it, maybe try that, I got myself 2,1 speakers from Logitech and they are amazing and they only cost like 100 $...

The Sennheiser is basically a set of headphones with an amplifier attached. I don't know how you are hooked up to the material you are streaming (HDMI or Component Audio) , but if you are not getting sound from the Sennheiser, that indicates sound is not getting to the Sennheiser.

These headphones will work with the headphone output of any device, with the adapter. But the feature of turning off the external speakers when you plug in a set of headphones is a feature of the device (in this case, a digital piano) and not the headphones. To learn if this is a feature of your device, read the manual, or insert any headphones or similar plug into the headphone output. If the speakers turn off for that, then they'll turn off for these Yamaha headphones as well.

If I remember correctly, you get the pair of headphones, one straight cable and one springy stretch cable, both of them can be unbplugged from the left ear of the headphones and swapped with each other. You get two pleather ear pads on the headphones initially, and two felt plush pads if you want to replace them. (They're a pain to get on, I suggest stretching out the area you wrap around the headphones on the plush pads first so they go around the headphone easier. Then they fit snug and perfectly.) You get an assortment of different jacks to screw to the ends of the two cables I mentioned at the beginning to use for different size amps. I don't use any of them so I don't know the specifics. It's all very worth the money, the sound is great and they're very comfortable. Quite sturdy, as well. The headphones are doing great, even though I'm not the most careful owner. I would recommend these. Hope I helped!

That depends on what the sound is coming from. If it's from an RCA cable, sound is from the white and red cables. I use an RCA to stereo Y-adapter, plug the stereo end into a stereo coupler, and then plug my headphones into the other end of the coupler. For volume control, you can get a stereo cable volume control dial that would plug into the coupler and the headphones would plug into the volume control. Or if you have speakers that have their own integrated volume control (computer speakers), I can imagine that they would plug directly into the coupler end.

They are wired, the cord just plugs into and unplugs from the headphones and whatever you attach it to (like an ipod or a laptop) so you can travel with it or replace it when it wears out. Most cheaper headphones have a cord which is permanently attached (to the headphones part) and when the cord goes, you have to basically just buy a new pair of headphones. Also, I don't recommend these headphones.

There are two jacks on this unit. On one you can plug in a MP3. And the other you can plug in your headphones. As to sound quality. I'm not sure.I have only used headphones. It will drive speakers.the rest would depend on the quality of your speakers and patchcord.

From the device that you are using the headphones with. It's connected over Bluetooth so whatever audio and features are on your device translate into the headphones.

Yes, headphones will become their own audio device via USB. System should automatically make them default while they are plugged in. I have logitech 5.1 and this card and this is how my plantronics work together with it.

No, headphones do not connect to these speakers. The jack on the back is an audio input. Not a headphone output. Studio speakers are sold as a single speaker most of the time because sometimes you need 3-5 speakers. If they do sale in pairs it is always stated "sold in pairs".

You may need to switch the sound output device in windows or your operating system to the headphones by right-clicking the sound icon and going to playback devices, then right-clicking the headphones and selecting them as the default device. With the default configuration, when you press the volume buttons it should show the current headphone volume on screen with an overlay, so make sure they aren't turned all the way down there. Otherwise, it's hard to tell without more info

There is NO headphone input on one of the speakers. That is a convenience / extra mini stereo input if you wanted to play music from another device like your phone. It does not send cut the speakers and send audio TO your headphones. Not a headphone jack.

This has nothing to do with the headphone, but rather the TV. In my case, my TV has a LINE OUT that I use to connect to the headphone, so the TV volume control, speaker, and mute functions all work as normal. But if you plug the headphone base into the "headphone" jack of the TV, the TV's speaker is almost always muted. Bottom line--check it with any pair of wired headphones/earphones you may have laying around....

I agree with the other two posters, call the technical service and go over it with them. Since I have never bought a second set of headphones I'm not quit sure what the hookup procedure is. You could have defective headphones or there is a simple trick to make them work.Mike
