i’ve heard too many mixed comments regarding powering these headphones. some people say using it with just their laptop/phone they run just fine but then other people are saying they’re completely unusable without an amp.

i don’t necessarily want to have to purchase a separate amp to use them because i plan on using them when im out and about as well.

did i just make a oopsie by buying a headset that requires too much power?

I find that the HE-4XX will get loud enough at 75% on any Apple device's volume (even with a dongle). Also, very similar on my LG V30 without using the Quad DAC as well.
