It sounds like your headphones are 8 ohms. I suggest either adding a 100
ohm pad in series with each headphone or get 32 ohm headphones. The 100 ohm
resistors can added right in the headphone jack. Just get 2 1/4 watt 100
ohm resistors, and put each on in series with the non-grounded side wire
going to each headphone.
