Quick preface...I have the XM3, so I'm hoping the control is the same.

On the headphone, there is a button on the left side labeled NC/Ambient, you can use it to toggle noise canceling (NC) on and off. You can also accomplish this in the Sony App under the "Sound" tab under heading "Ambient Sound Control", where there's a slider to go from Noise Cancelling to Ambient Sound 1.

HD600 is probably on the borderline. If you like to listen to your music loudly or likes your bass beefy, then an amp would benefit greatly. The general rule of thumb is that each 3db increase double the power draw.

A good option could be a wireless DAC like the Fiio BTR3 which will turn your headphone into a wireless one while also double as a small amp.
