Tell me your budget first.
I'll post the best IEMs available in that budget.

Around 10$ you could get the following :-
Philips SHE 3590 - Strictly for Bass lovers - Decent Build Quality

SoundMAGIC ES18 - Strictly for Bass lovers - Bad Build Quality

Audio Technica Ath-clr100 - Balanced Sound with good bass mids and treble - Better Build Quality than what I have mentioned above.

There are more choices unde $10 but it will create a confusion. These are the best choices and are widely available.

yes earpiece for sbh20 ....
You can buy any of those to be used as an earpiece. Right now I am using the SoundMagic ES18 but the AudioTechina is also great. The ES18 is more prone to get broken, but I have used mine for over 6 months now and I haven't faced any problem.

Meelectronics A151 - Balanced
PADACS Aksent PD114 - Bassy
HiFiMan RE-400 - Clear Sound
Shure SE215 - Bassy , weak Highs
Klipsch IMAGE S4 - Bassy , weak Mids

Now, it is a small list, but these ARE THE BEST available under $100 , according to me. Availability is a question mark.

And what do you suggest for over the ear type monitors?

I am inclined towards the Audio Technica ATH M50x or the M50 depending on which one I can get here. What do you think of them?

Creative Aurvana Live 2
Sony MDR-XB-XB900 - Build Quality not up to the mark
Sony MDR-V6 - Highly Recommend
Denon D1100
Audio Technica ATH M50 are pretty balanced . If you could get it UNDER $100 then, it is worth buying , otherwise NO...

Under $75
Senhieser HD 215 II - Highly Recommend - Professional DJ style Headphones
Audio Technica ATH M30 - Better build quality
Sony MDR-XB-XB500 - They are discontinued , but if you could get your hands on it, they are worth buying.
