ATH-M50s need amp?

Why not try an E5 or E6? Good for low impedance cans.

Your choice. 

+1, use them without an amp on iphone and they dont need one.

They sounded a bit better with an E17- but the amp is the same price as the headphones
 
Maybe you should if you plan on upgrading headphones in the future. If not, you should just stay with what you have I think.
