Why do the sennheiser HD 6 series have such high impedance? (alien.top)

Im planning on buying these headphones, but I am confused on buying an amplifier that can get all the way to 300 ohms. Most people recommend amps that output much less. I’m sure I’m missing something, but I’m not sure what… would anyone be willing to explain it to me? Thanks!

I find the efficiency of the hd600 to be high enough to be powered off a macbook pro or phone, despite the high 300ohm impedance. can't be said for the hd650, that requires decent amplification for it to wake up.

The new MacBooks have better amps as well that are like 2 V RMS
