When you place your order, mention in the comments section that you want a headphone jack or two (email parts at elecraft dot com to get the part number/pricing). When I bought my K2 I ordered an extra headphone jack as a spare because I heard they can wear out after some time.

Otherwise, if you use a different type of microphone, you need to take care for the jumping yourself. The “UNPCB” guy sells a nice jumpering PCB that allows you to easily change the jumper setup for a range of standard mics, suggest you look it up below (look for “Internal Mic Adaptor”):
