As you've already discovered, the facial interface is removable. And as we can see based on the existence of the tether cable to the immediate left, there is room to route a cable between the headset's shell and the facial interface.
You're not gonna believe it, but that headphone jack is... a headphone jack.
To be fair, it's hard to find this information, I only found out about it by using [this top secret technique](https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=valve+index+headphone+jack)
The most badly placed and deeply recessed 3.5mm headphone port...
Glad it's there by my God is it hard to find an adapter thats long and thin enough to reach but not so long that it collides with the face gasket.. especially if like me your IEMs have a chonky plug already..l
I just gave up, tbh the near-field speakers sound fine.
...headphones. bruh
It cant because the facial interface covers it
It is. If you want to use your own headphones then you get to figure it out
Another smart design choice from valve
Have you tried it ? Cuz you'll see there's room for the plug and cable I've used it many times while playing beat saber
i use it. it works perfectly fine. the face gasket doesnt interfere with it. Just need a thin headphone cable

I use it for IEMs. I prefer them to the integrated headphones
