Connecting 2+ Headphones on Layla 3g

[mentalattica]

What's up everyone?
I have a question that I can't find an answer to.
How do I hook up 2-3 pair of headphones to an Echo Layla 3g withought having to use splitters on the main headphone jack?

I tried using outputs on the back but they end up playing in one ear or the other, never both. I would like to hook it up to the interface itself without going through any other equipment, but if that isn't possible what's the cheapest route to go?

Not entirely familiar with the Layla, but I'm going to bet the farm that the additional outputs on the back are MONO, so what you could do it get a cable which has two 1/4" male jacks on one end and a 1/4" stereo female jack on the other end. Plug the two 1/4" jacks into two inputs. Now these outputs probably aren't designed for headphones (they'd be line level which is not amplified at all) so it may or may not sound very good.

The cheapest route would probably be the Behringer headphone amp. I've never used it, but I think you can connect up to 4 pairs of cans to it.

My mixer has two headphone jacks and a dedicated volume control so I run one of my headphone outs to my patchbay and then I can hook-up two pairs of headphones from the patchbay so that gives me three.... Im sure with a patchbay you can get more...

Thanks for the help everyone, I think I am going to look into a headphone amp or a mixer.
