Now I don't know anything about cables and such. I did a Google search for it, but have absolutely no clue. Therefore, could you give me the link to this loopback connector?

It's the same as you would use for connecting a full size cassette or CD player to the sound card, or connecting the output of the sound card to a domestic Hi-Fi amplifier.

Now I live in the US. So if I do buy those T.Bone HD880 headphones, since the price says 22.90 eur, that would be $28.78 in US dollars (since 1 eur=1.2567 US dollars). Plus shipping to the US which costs $30.

But, of course, I can't just purchase those headphones alone and purchase the EDIROL UA-1EX on a separate website since there is that rule which states "Important: Your current order is below the minimum order value of 25 EUR. You may ignore the minimum order value, if one of your orders is still open and you wish to add these items to your existing order."

Therefore, I have to add that EDIROL UA-1EX to the shopping list (which costs $82.94 in US dollars) plus another $30 again for shipping? Or is it just $30 once for shipping of both those items? And would it be best that I purchase those two items off that UK cyberstore website?

Since I'm in Europe, I've not tried buying anything from Thomann as a US resident.
The shipping rate is 30 Euro for the entire order (up to 31 kilo) - this is a lot higher than shipping to the UK so it will be a consideration when deciding whether to buy from them or not.

If you are buying enough stuff from them to justify the shipping costs, then e-mail their sales help-line if you need further assistance - I've always found them to be very helpful.
