IEMs:

2-pin (industry standard)

FiR RCX
JH Audio (4-pin)

Estron (T2) [Ultimate Ears, Westone Audio, Etymotic & more IEMs]
Pentaconn EAR [Acoustune, Spear Labs]
A2DC [Audio Technica IEMs]
EXK [Sony MDR-EX1000]

I know there are a lot of variations (housing or modified connectors), but I think including all of those just complicates things as though it’s impossible to find the original manufacturer and/or there is no special name for that particular connector. For headphones there are several 2.5mm/3.5mm variations, while for IEMs there are several MMCX variations.
