My ALO-780 (recabled HFI-780) headphone cable terminates to a 1/4" headphone plug. The stock HFI-780 cable terminates to a 1/8" headphone plug. The headphone out jack on the Clip+ is a 1/8" headphone jack. My recabled phones require a 1/4"-to-1/8" adapter for the headphone cable plug, because a 1/4" plug is too large to fit into a 1/8" jack. A stock cabled pair of HFI-780 requires no headphone plug adapter, since the plug on the stock cable is the same size (1/8") as the headphone jack on the Clip+.
As for the exact name of the adapter that I use and that you won't need, HeadRoom lists it on their website as: "Grado quarter to eighth inch plug Adapter". But, if you'll be using the stock HFI-780 cable, you won't need one of these.
