Just got my V6s today with Beyer pads already on...so let's see...
The obvious reason to get the pads is for comfort, and it is way more comfy by far...the V6s now fit circumaurally on me vs. supraurally. But for the sound...I find the stock V6s better in sound. The Beyer pads move the soundstage a little farther back, and thin the treble a little. Treble just extends and shimmers better on the stock V6s. The bass imaging also suffers a tad...it's tighter on the stock V6s, while with the Beyer pads I notice the bass becomes more cup filling so to speak, as in you hear a leak of the bass into both cups vs. it being dead centered. Midrange is about the same, I don't think the Beyer pads warm up the midrange in any ways...in fact I'd say it sounds a bit thinner.
For absolute sound quality, I'd still prefer the stock V6s. I'd say the stock V6s sound a bit more...real? That's the best way I can think of it when listening to a sax. But no doubt that the Beyer pads make the V6s way more comfortable.
