Swap between Yeti and Headset

This may be a dumb question, but I have a yeti mic and my gaming headphones and I can't figure out how to swap between the two for audio input.  The headset is the sennheiser gsp 600.  They plug in with two separate plugs instead of a usb and I can't find them in the audio settings. Only the Yeti mic. The Yeti mic is too sensitive when I'm playing games and talking to my friends to the point they can hear my wives tv show going on in the other room and I'd like to just use my headset when gaming. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Edit: I forgot to put in that I have to currently plug the headset into the mic to allow myself to hear the game as well.  Using the two plugs doesn't seem to push sound through so I can't just mute the mic and the headset work.

You've looked in the Sound Control panel?

This is because they Yeti doubles as a "Headset" in Windows. disable the mic as a headset in the Vome settings, and you should be able to hear audio from other sources like the motherboard 3.5mm jack, audio exported through an HDMI or a SPDIF port to name a few examples (I had to do this to get my USB DAC/AMP combo working with my Yeti plugged in)
