I would like to get the 80 ohm version...
But for some reason the 250 ohm is less expensive for about $20...I'm looking at Amazon. I can't find a cheaper place.
Can the 250 ohm version work well without an amp?
What do you mean by "work well"?
They'll play music and sound very nice, but they won't operate at their full potential.
Still, though, you can buy the phones now and enjoy them - and buy an amp when you wish.
Even a $50-$50 amp (Fiio, JDS Labs CMoy, etc) will greatly improve the sound -
and they will sound great (still will depend on your source material i.e. low bitrate
files are out). I say go for the 250 ohm before the price goes up.
(I've had a pair for about two years and they're still among my top headphones.)
