Thought of that, but it would not work with a trs connector, the headphone shares it groundsignal in that manner . Also i am not sure if you put the 2 amps that are busy making a negative signal together, would one not short out the other?
If you use your headphones balanced you have to use two trs/XLR connectors (or one with 4 connections) - one for each side. The headphones must be recabled or at least receive a new plug (if it already has a 4 wire cable) to use it in balanced operation. You can't use a normal trs plug for balanced operation.
Either 2 trs/XLR plugs from one headphone (with only 2 wires connected to each driver - the 3. ground connection of the trs/XLR is not connected to the phones) or 2 SE phones connected to the two trs/XLR-jacks (with normal ground this would be a 4-channel design with balanced ground for both it would be a 6-channel design).
