Has anybody found an adaptor to attach normal stereo headphones or other headphones that will work with the XDA apart from those that come with it?

I got an adapter from expansys.com. It works great with my headset, About £10 I think.
I cannot find original headphonesh, is there any similar ?
Custom Wallaby Headphones
I broke my original Wallaby headphones and like you, i wasn't able to find a "replacement". What you can do is to purchase a good quality headphone / headset. They come in the standard 3.5mm jack which doesn't fit the Wallaby. Buy a 2.5mm stereo jack adaptor which you will connect to your Wallaby and connect the 3.5mm headphone there.
O2 XDAII (Himalaya) headsets may work too. I think all HTC devices have compatible headsets. Enjoy!
The original XDA I/Wallaby stereo headsets are on eBay.

I have just returned a Samsung HS3000 bluetooth headset because the earphones kept falling off my ears. It had flimsy design as well. Now I am looking for a new bluetooth headset that supports Apt-x . Budget will be max £100/$150.
I don't really care about the unit having mic as I will only use it for music and movies.
Edit: Retracted my previous question
Ok, so I'm about to bite the bullet and get rid of my stereo and replace it with a Nexus 7. I was thinking about just getting a 1/8" phono to rca audio jack, but I see that a lot of you that are doing the install are using a USB DAC. Can someone explain to me why that is, and what the benefit is over just hooking the rca up to an amp?
Better DAC...and better preamp. The built in digital to analog for the headphones was built to a price for $200 tablet. And the analog amp for the headphones is expecting a high impedance load. Doing it through the headphones basically adds an extra analog conversion to the path (impedance matching from headphone level to rca level). An external dac bypasses this and converts directly from digital to rca level.

The first part is true, the DAC on the tablet is possibly a lower end one then what you'll find on an external DAC but you should spend a little time and investigate. Looking at ifix-it they don't mention an D/A converter or headphone amp. Often now it is built in to a power switching chip.
As far as the second part, the headphone amp is built to drive a low impedance (16ohms). The amp will have a high impedance (typically 500 to 1k, sometimes 10k). This is actually ideal. It maximizes the voltage your amplifier will see. And is the way amplifiers typically work.
The final thing I can say is output voltage. An external D/A might or might not drive more voltage out.
My experience is 15 years car audio installation and two degrees in electronics. I'm currently doing the same and starting a product line of items that make installing tablets better then installing aftermarket decks.
This might help
So I've been working on this for a while. Might be helpful to you!
I'm currently with a hole in my dash, Flip-flopping on n7 or n10 install. I've tested this thing with the n10, n7 and the galaxy note2 so far.

You can use a USB DAC with a USB Hub. The Fifo one seems to be popular at about $50.
Honestly from 15 years of car audio experience I can say that the Headphone out of the N7 sounds pretty good. I really don't know that a DAC will make any difference. I think either way you will find your self having to use Awesome beats or some other EQ app to get the sound the way you want it, but I'm thinking I'll just use the headphone out my self.
Just want to share with you guys these amazing earphones I got on AliExpress for just 24bucks. I think they are amazing. Never tried the OnePlus ones but I think these are amazing and cheap.

Sound is all around amazing. Of course can't compare the bass with some wired headphones I have had before but I think that's because we don't have viper sound mod working for the OnePlus 7t. You won't regret these.
The only downside that I have noticed about these is during phone calls the mic isn't to great at picking up your voice in a noisy area like a market place I stay in Africa by the way. But if you are anywhere just about quiet enough it has not problem. I have never run out of battery maybe because I have never worn them for 3 hours straight listening to music.
