For IDM and gaming I will go with the Rock Zircon because of his round bass and over average soundstage, IE800 are more bright-detailed and intimate.
I do not listen to the VE Monk but for gaming...hum, not sure about earbuds.
 
Check Aliexpress, perhaps you will find the Zircon for 10 boxes.....
 
 
Cheers!

Hum, you can go for dual drivers like the KZ Zn1 (10-20$) or the (better) UE Custom with detachable cable (14-17$ at Easy Earphones), both have quite big soundstage and present bass.

(DIY) UE Custom from Easy Earphones:

Really nice construction and the cable that came with the black one I bought is Excellent!
The sound is little more neutral that KZ ZN1 but is more well controlled cause the bass of ZN1 can bloat mids sometime.
Both are good for the price, DIY UE Custom is kind of unbelievably cheap and super high quality looking.

@bluedan02 @Nymphonomaniac I got my Swing IE800 yesterday. Have had a bit of time to listen to some music. I would definitely recommend these for metal. So far, I've tried to check out various artists to see how they hold up. Few songs from Fleshgod Apocalypse - King sounded good. I always try to listen to Blind Guardian - Curse my name - good test for bass drum sound and wind instruments. New Katatonia album sounds fine. Non metal - Nora Jones with all the acoustics and vocals - quite good for IEMs. One thing was not a good match for these was The Wisdom of Crowds. Bass sounded way too boomy.
 
I listen on my Samsung Galaxy S5 with either Fiio Q1 or E18. Tidal HIFI.

Good idea. TE-02 impressions: http://www.head-fi.org/products/fostex-te-02-water-resistant-earbuds/reviews/14947
 
Well, as for the price and where to get them: I don't know. I gt mine from the German Amazon for €29.24, but they can be found for even less (half that price). Some folks on Head-Fi mentioned that they could be found for ~ $15-30. I know that there is an OEM version with Pioneer branding that might be easier to find on the international market.

I just got a pair of these. They are really awesome. Extremely neutral.

Yep, awesome, neutral little hidden gems. Great bass quality imvho - very clean, quick and arid, and overall resolution is really good as well. For the pure sound, I'd be personally willing to spend a three-digit price for those bad boys.

I've bought three pairs of KZ ATEs : one for me, one for my girlfriend, and one to replace the first pair after I lent them to my mother to wear on her flight home from visiting. I was blown away by the detail and soundstage on a product so inexpensive.

TE-02 very clean & neutral but less fun. Another great earphone.
