AFAIK, all of my systems with front-panel audio are set to short from the front plug -- i.e., if you plug headphones into the audio jack in the front, it shorts the audio output normally going out of the back, and therefore your speakers shouldn't play. But maybe some systems do both and rely on you to turn the speakers off?
Anyway, thanks again everyone. The Plantronics headset is nice, but we'll see. I have a friend of mine who, coincidentally wants a new headset. He currently has a USB headset that only has one ear working, so I may barter him some pizza to get it ... haha
