the plug ends are exactly the same, and I dont know about connecting the original plug... Haven't tried.

Well, if the wires are just taped together, why don't you?
That might tell you if the new plug will work, or maybe just your connection was naff.

Otherwise you may have created a piece of modern art instead of a headset.

I didn't say before because the situation is harder to explain.

In really short terms: It's purely convenience.

Details: My speakers come with a wired remote that controls the volume, and it sits on my desk by my mouse (farthest away from the tower). On this little remote is a headphone jack that if I plug headphones into, switches from the speakers to the headphones. The pronged end of my headphones are not lengthy enough to reach from the headphone jack on my remote to the back of my computer for the mic jack. So, I figured, if I just added some extra length to the mic cable, all would be fine.

Make sense? Rushed through that...
