Default ear buds v. live performance

Anyone out there have any recommendations on in-ear headphones that are suitable for live performances? I monitor myself and the rest of the band through an Aviom, and it blew out my last $30 pair. Looking at:

I'd like to keep it around $100. I need these for next weekend (20th/21st).

Thanks

Freq. Response: 20Hz-13kHz = extended high frequencies?? I would expect something up to around 17/18kHz and what electronic trickery are they using to get 20Hz response? The physical size doesn't allow for that.

I would audition different ones before deciding; just like headphones and speakers to see which sound the most real.

Just by reading the specs the Shure seem most realistic, and the A/T are really pushing the bottom end.

Yeah, I was leaning towards the Shure's the most. I suppose I can try them out this weekend and return them if I don't like them. I'm playing these next 2 weekends, and playing lead this weekend..
