Windows will remember the level for each one and when you connect the headphones, it will automatically adjust the volume to the last set for the device. You can now manage their volumes independently. Both speakers and headphones will start appearing as separate devices in the Volume Mixer. Remove the headphones and connect them again.

It lets you interdependently manage the volume for these devices and can change volume settings on the fly when a device is connected/disconnected. Windows, as far back as Vista, has been able to identify multiple audio input and output devices connected to a system.
