Yes. The 250 Ω version is less sensitive in terms of voltage (how loud it gets for a given voltage from the source), so it typically needs more voltage swing and benefits from a headphone amp for good volume and headroom. The 48 Ω one (likely a DT 990 PRO X) is much easier to drive from phones, laptops, or basic interfaces.
I bought the closed back version of these back in June and paid the extra $30 for the X version (48 ohms) so I didn't have to buy a headphone amp. They work fine with my audio interface connected to my computer (which is also connected to my JBL 306Ps).
If you're coming from the DT 770 Pro, the Hifiman Edition XS is the best value open back because it changes the kind of sound you get, not just the tuning. Moving from a closed-back dynamic driver to an open-back planar gives you a much wider, spacious presentation. Open box/refurbished direct from Hifiman (free shipping, no sales tax) $169

I previously got the Sundara for a similar price refurbished, and it was pretty much new.
