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 have hd660s2. Drives fairly easy of M1 Mac air. But since I had an ibasso Dc03 pro, I use it to drive.

If you getting an amp/dac, you can try Tempotec -Sonata BHD Pro (has enough power) or iBasso dc04pro. Either would be more than enough to take care of any noise floor (if your source laptop/phone has) and run your cans easily.

But you can buy the S2 cans without any of these things too.

I have been thinking of upgrading the laptop instead of buying an amp. How was the hd660 off of the air?

I’m okay if it is worse than a dedicated amp. But can the Air do it effectively?
