Again.... you seem to not understand that a "balanced headphone" is not the same as a pro audio "balanced signal" Headphones do not have a third signal channel to correct for signal noise. It's a...

Another ironic post of the day. What is your proposed need for a headphone to have a balanced cable connection/amplifier outside of the fact that your amplifier was built for balanced connections? ...
