Underwhelmed with new Sony V6 cans. Thoughts?
Just received the first DJ headphones I've had in about a decade. They're more flat than I expected, and I'm curious how this will affect DJ'ing.

Back in the day I used the bass-heavy 700's, but it's been long enough that the only thing my ears are accustomed to are the bass-heavy Klipsch earbuds I wear around town. I just went back and forth between them and the V6's, and I felt much more "in the music" with the buds, while the cans I felt like I was simply listening to a track. Granted, the earbuds are more expensive. http://www.klipsch.com/image-s4i-black-in-ear-headset

I was on the fence about the V6's, and was considering everything from them, on up through the HJD-2000's. I'm obviously now experiencing some buyer's remorse, especially since I'm within Amazon's return window. http://community .djranking s.com/showthread.php?t=58799

I'm using them at work off my volume-limited computer, so perhaps this will change when on a powered mixer. That said, I feel like the cans are lacking in punch. Sure, they're pretty flat and true, great for production uses. But I got them specifically for DJ'ing, so I'm curious to hear if cans like the HD25's, Aiaiai's, and HDJ2000's are going to have more...kick, being something I figure is helpful for beatmatching, etc.

Caveat: perhaps I'll also them as a reference for recorded/SoundCloud'ed DJ sets, but figure that is a secondary concern.

I'm pretty new to anything beyond bedroom DJ'ing. Do people like flat while banging out mixes? Or are bass-exaggerated cans like the 700's (and 2000s? I dunno if they are..) something that other DJ's prefer as well? And what are the more punchy, kicky, bass heavy options out there?
