Oh, please, don't get those. Get a pair of CUSTOM iems, I swear you won't regret it. The triple.fi 10vi is an outdated model.

in the triple driver form PWN.

To answer your question, these are a great amp with bypass and charging ability.

why use a penguin amp for a good pair of headphones? makes no sense.

Honestly I wouldn't worry about passthrough. You won't get great sound from the headphone out of your iPhone anyway, you need to use a LOD and a good amp.

tomahawk?

I really haven't looked at portable amps in the last couple years. I hardly ever use my tomahawk so I've been considering selling, but then the 1-2 times a year I do use it I'd miss it.

The buds look weird because they are taken from a custom mold of your ear. They have (obviously) perfect fit and multiple drivers just like the UE. Fidelity is not quite a famous brand, but head-fi ( a major audio forum) likes them a lot.

http://www.rockhopperaudio.com/Rockh...able_Amps.htmlis a prebuilt Mini3.
