No worries. You will need a desktop amp like the Topping DX3 Pro +, which was recently on sale for $160. I’m not sure about portable options, someone else will need to comment, but there is probably a decent option to make them sound good.

Yes, you are missing an amp.

Reply to Are audiophile headphones that noticeable? by BicBoiBen
Instead of spending like $1500, try the Edition XS planars for $500. I recently added this to complement my HD6xx and it’s a very, very different sound (in a good way, IMO). The fit is weird but it sounds great.

For any of these decent audiophile headphones you will want and likely need an amp. It’s pretty simple: you plug the amp into a wall, then connect one cable from your PC/laptop to the amp. Then you plug your headphones right into the amp. Your sound and volume will be massively improved and the added bonus is a nice volume knob on the amp. There are definitely cheaper amps than the Topping (which is actually an amp/DAC combo), but it will work for pretty much anything you throw at it.
