I currently owned a Sony MDR-V6 for studio recording, and I am wondering if these would sound better? If so, do I need to buy an amplifier for these, or could I just plug it onto the mixer I am using?

JazeV6 are reference class so if your after that kind of sound no these are not better. But if your after Beats for Audiophiles look no further then Fostex. I had the TH900 and its V shaped sound, not neutral. My brother has the V6 so I have the opinion that they are unbeatable value. Neutral, accurate.

JazeThe AKG 7XX aren't reference (and I say that as someone who made his living as a studio musician for decades), but they're a lot closer to presenting classical music and jazz accurately than the one luxury Fostex model I've heard; they're related to the AKG 702, which really is used in studios. Perhaps you'd like them.
Deutsche Grammophon famously used Sennheiser HD-600s for mixing orchestral music for years, and I personally think they sound gorgeous and work well for recording despite being a tad relaxed, so they might be another option for you -- esp. when they go on sale before and during Black Friday.
Of course, none of those headphones look as beautiful as the TH-00s, but it appears that sound is the most important thing to you. That said, the MDR-V6 / MDR-7506 has been the most ubiquitous headphone in the studio world for nearly thirty years. I used to see AKG 501s and, occasionally in small studios, Grados, but never as often as the Sony model you own already.
Occasionally, I visit the Brooklyn studio of a producer I partnered with for decades and along with his Telefunken mic pres from Abbey Road (yes, the ones that were used on the most lavishly produced Beatle albums), classic Neve and ProTools setup, he uses your headphones in the control room. They're that reliable.
