The accepted way to do this is to put a couple of appropriate load resistors across the Speaker Outputs. Then install a couple of 100 Ohm resistors in series with the "Hot" or "+" terminals of the amp, to the respective Headphone wires. The "-" terminals usually must be connected together.

Note: Some amplifiers don't take kindly to having their negative terminals connected together. Read your owners manual first.

Hope this helps.
