    Assuming you mean two headphones, where are you plugging the 2nd one in for the signal to drop?

    I don't have the interface but it sounds like the single headphone output will not have enough power to run the two sets of headphones.  So if you need run two headphones you would need to buy a headphone amp that would be able to power the additional set of headphones.  With the Komplete Audio 6 having multiple outputs this would also mean you could set up alternate headphone mixes.

    The komplete audio6 only has one phones socket.
    Where are you plugging the second headphone in?
     
    Cheap and good...
     
    I have several Behringer HA400, they do the job.

    Every time you passively split a signal, it drops by 3dB on both sides if the split.

    I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

    I solved the same problem with a Behringer Mini Amp 800:

    I have been using this unit for years now with no problems.

    The reason people say the vinyl sounds better is because the music was better.

    Every time you passively split a signal, it drops by 3dB on both sides if the split.

    And that's the best-case scenario. Some audio interfaces don't provide enough current to drive even one low-impedance headphone (your ATH-M50s are 38 ohms). 
     
    Almost any cheap headphone amplifier will mitigate your immediate volume problem. However, you might want to consider a slightly beefier amplifier for better fidelity. (No need to go out and get some expensive audiophile amp, though. Then you'd have to buy better headphones too.)


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
