The M50x is 38ohms with an efficiency of 99dB/mW. They are reasonably easy to drive from most portable devices and the volume will satisfy you unless you listen very loudly. You will most likely not need an amplifier unless your source has a pretty poor amplifier.

Can you mix with Audio-Technica ATH-M50x?
The M50x is a pretty bad choice for mixing for this reason. As others have said, the 7506 would be a better choice. I’ll also suggest the HD280 if you want better isolation.
How many ohms does the Audio-Technica ATH M50x have?
38 ohms
