...then you can just use loudspeakers.
I have used a sub with headphones. The "thumping' is usually not as noticeable as it is with loudspeakers because the volume levels are usually lower. You don't need to hear the bass in the room as you do with loudspeakers. You mostly need to feel the bass in the air at the listening seat, more of a "purring" than a thumping.

Sure you can't move around and do other things, but for dedicated listenning they are brilliant!
Partial to them myself.
