It depends on your music taste. 

The shure are dark sounding with warm sound.  (too dark for me)

The HiFiMAN have a clean but lean sound. They're a bit grainy sounding, but their sound very good overall and they're pretty flat. (i like it)

The momentums have a "V-shape" sound, with richer bass and brighter highs.  (i like it)

The Vsonic GR07 should be GREAT IEMs. Many people recommend these earphones. There is a bass version for the GR07 if you like more bass. 

Keep in mind i've only tried the HiFiMANs, but i've seen the graphs of these earphones at innerfidelity. ( and i know what i like :P )

I don't know much about the Yamaha EPH-100SL, but lachlanlikesathing recommends these earphones ( a guy with a youtube channel. Check his earphone buying guide and his favourite earphones.)

Hifiman re400 is a good neutral headphone. It's probably what I would pick if the fostex te05 is too expensive for you.

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.
