Welcome to the craziness that is the audio world! The good news is that both of your headphones are a nice combination of low impedance and high sensitivity, so you don't have any need for an amp.
Your Mac already has a decent DAC and amp on-board that will drive your headphones just fine. With easy to drive headphones like yours, the only thing an amp will do is add some mild coloration at best. You can do that for free with your equalizer software. If you have money to spend on audio, it will be far better spent on more headphones.
Just look for sets with and impedance under 50 Ohms and a sensitivity of 100 dB or higher, and you will have no need for an amp.

ChunboonYou did well with your first choices, both of the ones you own are generally well regarded. What's your budget and what type of music do you listen to? Do you typically listen in quiet places, or out in public? Any preference for IEM vs. headphone based on your experience of the ones you have?

ChunboonOK, those would call for different headphones to meet each of those use cases. But here's how I'd play it to get both covered. Bose QC25 for air travel, and something like the Senn HD 579 for the quiet space. If you look for deals, you could cover both cases with good options.
