I used Beyerdynamic DT770 - 80 Ohm headphones. I seemingly standard for my studio applications. I'm finding that when I use headphones on my Kemper that I have to crank the output volume to around -7dB to get it to be a relatively high level in my headphones. I feel like it didn't use to be like that. Also when i use my Sony headphones i don't have to crank it nearly as high. Is this an issue with the impedance of the headphones or is that a normal level to have to use? For reference, I'm usually about -20dB when going out of the main outs into my DAW interface.

I haven’t found any problems with the headphone out being quiet. Quite the opposite in fact.
The output is rated for 32 - 600ohms so there isn’t an impedance issue with your 80ohm DTs. They should be an ideal rating for a high output.
