Awhile back, I bought some headphones from RadioShack which had an on/off
switch on them. After awhile, they got old and I through them
out. Today when I called RadioShack, I asked if they had any like those, and
they said no.

The reason that I ask is because I have some plugged into my laptop right
now, and when they are plugged in, they work but the laptop
speakers turn off. To re-activate the laptop speakers, I must unplug the
headphones. I was wondering if there were still any which had an
on/off switch on them so that I could leave them plugged into my laptop ALL
the time, and when I want to hear my laptop speakers, I can
just throw the swithch instead of unplugging the headphones. If not, is
there an adaptor?

I guess the common question is "Why not just unplug the speakers?". Well,
this is just the way I want to do it. :-) Thanks in advance for any
information that you can give me.

Patrick,

It likely would not do you any good to have headphones with
an on/off switch. Most computers are wired so that when you
plug anything into the headphone jack it cuts off the
speakers.
