If you wire your V6 stereo outputs to a stereo headset socket - that works fine as long as your headset(s) are in fact stereo or at least use a stereo plug with one of the bands disconnected internally.
If you plug in a mono headset with a mono plug (tip and solid band) then you will be shorting the R+L output amplifiers in the radio together. This can cause distortion and generally unpleasant sound.
You have two possible solutions if you have to use mono headsets and have the V6 wired for stereo output:
a) At the socket, route each signal (L and R) through a 4.7 ohm resistor. This will ensure that the two amplifiers are not going to fight each other.
b) Route only one of the amplifiers to to socket (L or R does not matter) and leave the other one disconnected.
The V6 radios amplifiers do not have output resistors built in as the radio has been designed such that it can directly drive 8 ohm stereo speakers for base station operation. It is also common to use speakers in gliders.
