technically you can but it may reduce the sound quality a little, but that's only my assumption. let's give some more experts here to answer this one.
I was thinking, Grado 1/4 to 1/8 and then Grado Y connector. I could then connect two cans, then enjoy a movie on the machine with the missus while we're both enjoying the sound.
Some loss in quality wouldn't matter under such circumstances.

Fine as long as you are using the same model of headphones, otherwise you'll have serious volume mismatch. Shouldn't have any major quality issues.

I'll see how things are with the Grados.
Get an inline volume control to use with the more sensitive headphones and you'll be fine. You are then getting into quality issues, but for movies or whatever it'll still sound good.

Yeah, on all our units with two jacks thay're just in parallel on the inside. The amps have plenty of umph to drive two cans. The potential volume missmatch is the only problem.
