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!

hd600 have quite a high sensitivity so are actually very easy to power

If I plug them on the control unit for my pc speakers they're okay but on my phone it's not enough.Tested it on a Fiio btr3k that I use for my iems and it's just okay.

I wanted to get a dap but I'm not sure if those will power it properly even with balanced cables.

I wouldn't say very easy but most separate amps would be fine with it.
