Don't I need an amp for them?
That's a tricky question. They can be driven to normal listening levels straight from a phone or your computer's sound card. But they will certainly be improved by a decent amp. And a decent source. All of the standard considerations. If you are willing to spend $250 on cans, it would seem that you are looking for audio quality that is better than what would come straight from a phone or computer. There are lots of pretty decent but inexpensive DAC/Amps out there (e.g., Fiio E10K, Schiit Fulla, and so on).
