I had a pair of those. You can power them off the phone but the really really shine with a amp.

Hmm interesting. I have a bit of a small budget so I guess I'll have to wait until they arrive. Thank you!

I have AKG Q701 which are basically K712, I got an amp for them because of how many people said you need one. When it comes to power requirement, they don't need that much power, a phone or laptop should be enough. But when I use them with my amp, I can notice a small improvement in sound quality and soundstage, and I don't have a crazy amp, it was $40 on Amazon.

Oh I see. Which amp is it if you don't mind me asking? :)

Thank you so much for this! I'll definitely have to order these if the output from my phone doesn't sound good enough for me
