Good luck plugging Sennheiser HD 600 to an average mp3 player or your smartphone. I don't defend audiophile, because they cost extremely more for what they offer. But they are a step up.

Also you can find DAP starting from $100, so i don't know how these scale with the price. I just recently found them out and shared the info.

If you walk around outside with HD 600's on your head you deserve to be robbed tbh

I dont know man, i feel you, but i have seen many with these ugly apple headphones these days (overheads). And these cost double the money...

Headphone amps: exist

Yes, but he is talking about stock devices. A phone with a good DAC/AMP portable dongle ($200-400) will be on par with these $1300 DAPs.

Sennheiser HD 600

There are plenty of headphones with equal quality of sound that are also lower impedance, allowing them to be powered by a phone or a laptop or whatever.
