I recommend checking out Audio Technica's ATH50M headphones. They sound great!
Just remember to put about 24 hours of pink noise through those bad boys at an acceptable volume.
I never really liked the sound coming out of my Axe-fx headphones output. Some people beg to differ, but there's something about it that just doesn't do the sound justice.
I personally like to lower the volume in my cab block rather than my amp block. Whatever works for you is great, but I find with setting up scenes (you'll get to that later) I can better control the base loudness of my amp choices by setting the cab at like... -10 db and changing my amp volume from there. Then, if I decide to default my amp to tweak from the start (as I like to do), I'm not running the risk of blasting my monitors, or even more importantly, my very sensitive eardrums.
I'm glad you've worked this out, bro! Keep working at it and in no time you'll be in tonal nirvana. I know it's taken me a while to finally get to where I'm super happy, but now I feel like I can get any sound out of the Axe-fx that I want. And with FW 10 on the horizon (hopefully) it's only going to get better. Huzzah!
