panlar or dynamic headphones?
I think that was supposed to be "planar".  You have a connection for an incoming source and another one for an out to your preamp, receiver, etc.  Sometimes more than one input, sometimes an XLR connection(s) or both RCA and XLR.You should get wha...

Best earphone for the value
Thomas, headphones can be a rabbit hole!  Headphones of course give you an entirely different listening experience than speakers, eliminating all the room and placement issues of speakers, but you lose the visceral impact that speakers and subwoof... 
Any steel 14” to 16” speaker stands out there?
