I am of the mind that unamped I favor the ADDIEMs over the PFEs, but that is just me. I also have a Touch, so the ADDIEMs work well with that DAP, of course. Similar phones, with the PFEs, when amped, sounding more extended in the mids/highs, and a touch less harshness. That doesn't mean the ADDIEMs are harsh. One bit of advice is the ADDIEM tips are not that great, and tend to loosen (they are somewhat bulby). I use the Sony Hybrid tips on both the PFEs and the ADDIEMS, and those tips work wonderfully.
If you read the ADDIEM thread, there are more specific comparisons with the PFE.

Does the dual drivers help the apple IEMs, and is the sound signature different? |
