Could I modify this EL84 amp to make a headphone amp?

Looking at this cheap Chinese amp that could make a fun project to turn into a headphone amp. My question is, would it be possible to add a headphone output that would sound good and still allow the amp to run with the proper load on the OPT with no speakers attached?

Not bad little amps. Im thinking yes? Since headphones can be up to around 600 ohms? Hopefully someone will chime in to make sure. You could even make or find an adaptor cord from speaker terminal to headphone jack if you didnt want to drill a hole. I have a 6v6 SE amp drawing that has the headphone jack wired right to the speaker terminals.
