No argument with Barry's suggestion, although I think it would be hard to find more efficient headphones than 8 ohms.

My suggestion is to try an inexpensive headphone amplifier. These cost from $20 and up - I use this one:

I figure the $20 Behringer model and any other one like it should cut it. DO NOT order either of the Ramsey headphone amplifier kits - they knowingly employ noisy op amp chips, which is scandalous considering the terribly poor quality.

Just my take.

The easiest fix is to switch to higher efficiency headphones.

I didn't want to switch.  There are series resistors right at the headphone
jack.
