I also own a set of this PH and have connected it to a Bravo V2 earphone amp that I've been playing with and it works fine as far as I can tell. I think the article is trying to say that this PH won't work passively with an external amp which is traditionally how they work together. It means that you can't power it via an external amp without leaving the internal amp also powered on. I don't think it is a problem necessarily to have both amps working.
