Upgrading from Sennheiser HD 280 to AKG K272 HD

Thread Starter 

I am looking to upgrade to AKG K272 HD's from my 280's. I like the 280's but they lack depth and to me are very cold sounding. I'm going to be running them from my MacBook Pro with no amp and I don't plan on getting an amp. My question is are the AKG's going to be noticeably better? I thought about getting something from beyerdynamic but the AKG's look a little easier to power. Any comments would be helpful. Thankyou

I've never used the HD280 & K272 HD, but I'm going to "guess" the HD280 was designed to work well with unamped sources and the K272HD might be a little more demanding.
