Default PC Audio switching between speakers/headphones

I have a pc set up in the corner of the room which stores all my mp3s and acts as a jukebox. It currently has a set of creative speakers and a sub hooked up to it and works well for what it is.

However, sometimes I would like to use my wireless headphones rather than speakers but have to manually dig behind the computer and pull out the speaker connection and plug in the headphones.

Is there any sort of switching device which I can use to simply switch between the two devices?

Cheers

David

i have a set of speakers and a headset with microphone, on the attachment for the mic, there is a switch that you can flick which will then pump the sound out of the speakers or headphones, im not 100% but would guess that you can rig this or even purchase something like this for the headphones you want to use.

this little blob of plastic sits on my desk near the keyboard, so there is no need to get around the back of the pc etc
