Yes, there needs to be some sort of pedal or “mixer”…. Hence my suggestion of the Darkglass AO Photon. I’m clearly recommending to *not* use a traditional mixer (Mackie VLZ, etc).

Very portable 2 inputs/1 headphone output "mixer"?

Ah. Gotcha... it was lost in the context for me.
However a $75 mixer vs. a $600 pedal makes it easy to ignore the gain part for many end users.
Haha. Yup. Just giving options. As a guy who has been practicing with headphones for about 20 years, I can tell you that this is the best “practice rig” that I have ever used. I run it into a Crown XLS1502 and use it as my preamp live as well. This pedal literally does everything I need.
My favorite portable practice setup is the Boss Waza Air.
It's not inexpensive, but it's completely wireless and really convenient. Plug the bluetooth dongle into your bass, pair your iphone with the headset and you are good to go.

Thank you all for the suggestions!
Some were overkill for what I'm looking for...just a tool to silently play along over headphones with my music library/steaming service from my phone. Amp modeling & EFX not required.
The Rolls PM351 looks like the exact thing I need. Reasonably priced, laid out clearly, looks sturdy. The only (minor) drawbacks are the accessory input is 1/4", but I guess I can find a TRS adapter to go from an 1/8' to 1/4" plug, and it's AC wall wart only (no battery power).
The Roland Go, though more than I require, looks very good too.
The Boss WAZA-Air Bass looks like a lot of fun but it's more than I want to spend.
Thanks again!
