I, too, suffer from low headphone volume (compared with the speaker) from my Orion I. But why build something you don't have to? My solution was to use a Behringer HA400, description from web below.

I have no interest in Behringer, blah, blah, etc., etc.... The box is inexpensive, ~$20.00, well made, works great, and is a nice addition at FD, etc., when you want some beginners to listen in for a while before operating.

Of course, YMMV...

"Mini to the max! You can use this super-compact stereo headphone amplifier with practically all headphones-four of them at the same time, to be exact! For example, you can let up to 4 different people in your studio listen to the main mix while the recording is being made, and each listener can determine his own volume level using the dedicated output level controls. The HA400 contains 4 high-power stereo amplifiers that maintain the highest sonic quality even at maximum volume levels. Ultra low-noise 4580 operational amplifiers are included for outstanding audio performance'these are the same op amps found in "full-size" audio equipment -- plus, a DC 12-Volt adapter is included."

So far I have not seen anyone offer a circuit for an audio breakout box which will have an audio amp(s), volume control(s), and jacks for 2 or more headsets with their microphone circuits... This would be really handy for lots of rigs, and for visitors to the shack to be able to don a headset and listen or operate also.. Also, very handy for a teaching situation where new ops are being introduced to contesting... I have idly made a beginning on this circuitry in my head, but being truly lazy I am waiting for someone else to offer a debugged and working circuit for me to build..
