I need to know a bit more. Are these going to be used while you're recording or performing, or are you going to be mastering or listening with them? Basically, do you need them to be closed to keep outside sounds out, or is open OK? At this budget, open headphones will give you the best results. Do they need to be portable? Are you OK with using an amplifier with them?

Both of the Astros are frankly garbage. There's no sugarcoating it. Sorry.

You definitely need to look into some custom-molded IEMs (in-ear monitors). For your budget, I'd recommend the JH Audio JH5 Pro.

You will have to make a trip to the audiologist to get moldings made and sent to JH Audio, and it will be some time before you actually receive them, but they sound perfect for you. They're the best molded IEM for that budget, and they'll do extremely well for both performing and mastering. They don't need to be amped, but if you want to, they respond very well to it. They're also VERY comfortable, and don't grow uncomfortable like regular IEMs might, considering they are molded. JH Audio has great customer service, so getting these should not be a hassle. You get to pick colors, too!

If you're still growing and they don't fit as well as they used to, you can have them fitted again. No worries there.

If you'd rather have something else, just tell me.

Only downside for me is it leaks waaay to much, which i knew but i didnt think it would leak this much ._.
