I'm new to the forum so I hope this isn't old information that everybody already knows.
I prefer to have my headphone cord attached to the tail-end of the handle so it doesn't flop around as much. I have read that some people don't like the headphone socket being located on the back of the Tejon control box but it's the perfect location if you want to route the audio cable up through the handle and out the tail-end.

You don't have to make a headphone control box like I did. (Photo 1)
Instead, drill a hole in the plastic end-cap and feed the cable through it. A socket that matches your headphone plug can be attached to the cable and left dangling. Hardware stores sell the end-caps and Radio Shack sells the electrical parts.
For me the audio control box was very handy. It has the two common size sockets, a volume control and a switch that connects the two headphone speakers in parallel or in series. A series connection raises the impedance and reduces the battery drain. Works real well with my old low impedance headphones. The headphone socket on your detector always connects the speakers in parallel.
If anybody finds this interesting I will post more details.
There are absolutely no modifications made to the detector itself. I can easily remove this add-on and put the plastic end-cap back in.
