For gaming, music or both?
If for gaming I recommend the SteelSeries 7H USB which gives you the option to use your source data card or the USB. I have the 5Hv2 USB and it's great.

I've had good luck with Meelec and JVC earbuds, the FX-34/35 and the Meelec M9's rock. I know they make the M9 with an in-line mic...I don't use a smartphone nor a phone for music so no mic for me. But those two brands and models are kickass imho.

Shure SE215 is one of the best entry level IEM I have heard. Balanced and clear for the price, it have a removable cable and you should be able to get hold of a mic cable for it pretty cheap.
I think it is called Shure CBL-M-K for the cable... talk about strange names.
