Try asking your question there. You might want to look into the TF10.

The Pro Golds are already one of the best when it comes to rock. So I really doubt the TF10 can fair better.

I liked the TF10 more than both the MTPC and the MTPG, but I guess we're all different like that.

I think it's all about sound preference, I like how the MTPG has pretty controlled bass with decay needed for drum attacks. However, it has waaay too much bass for me, so yeah.

Vsonic R07 or Sony EX600 are greatest for this music.

Umm... what do you mean by hardcore rock?
 
I ask as your musical preference determines my recommendation.

 

[cck5]

i mean bands like carnifex, suffokate, stick to your guns, whitechapel.

Vsonic GR07 are great for anything. I got them coming from a MTPC.

Read the GR07, JVC FXT90 and Panasonic HJE900 threads for more info but those 3 have the best distortion guitar, by far, over anything else I've heard. The panasonic is very hard to find now and the for sale forum is your best bet for that one.

Ah, deathcore and hardcore punk? Then see below.

What he said. I've not heard the HJE900, but have read many reports about it being the perfect IEM for more extreme genres. I thought the GR07 and FXT90 were perfect for this. Like shotgunshane says, they a way of rendering guitar distortion which really give them an edge (particularly so with the FXT90s).
 
Both the GR07 and the FXT90 have bass extension, impact and speed enough to shine with those generes. In my personal experience, the GR07 reproduces drums better, whilst the FXT90 shines with heavy riffing. I don't listen to deathcore, but loved grindcore and hardcore punk through the FXT90s. Death metal was a treat too. They have a forward, aggressive signature which does those genres justice.
