yeah, if you don't already own the One More Quad - go get it. Well worth full price so at nearly 1/2 off you wont find anything that can compete with it for the money. To me it is in the same class with the Lz a4 and the Brainwavz b400 and either of those are going to set you back $200.

Yep. It's in that group with the Pinnacle P1 and my newly beloved iBasso IT03. For $120 it's fantastic.

I've been leaning toward the b400 being the product of the year for its price/performance ratio but I think One More just threw down the gauntlet. At $120, I'm not sure there is a better value to be had in audio right now.

My one time attempting Chi-fi was Ve Monks Plus. It was great for the price until the right side driver died in 2 hours of opening and using...

I'm certain it was a one off... But it was pretty off putting.

Did you contact VE about your issue with the Monk?

So with a budget of $30-$80, which is a must get? Rt-1, Alpha & Delta 6 , Tin Audio T2. I'm looking for a nice commute pair, something balanced, detailed, decent soundstage.
Seriously, try jumping on the band wagon and get the Tinaudio T2. They have a mixture of sounding natural, bright, and close to neutral and has a similar sounding approach to that of the KZ ZS5 (v1), but with better comfort. After burning them in past the 100 hour mark, I personally think they edge out the ZS5 (v1) in less noise distortion per decibel of higher volume. Both the T2 and the ZS5's soundstages are on par, and as I mentioned before, they carry a lot of other similarities in their sound signatures. ...And finally I can say, the T2's are keepers for their extremely nice contructed metal-alloy housing. For me at the moment, I personally think they're one of the best dynamic drivers to be had at their price range.

Yes, they sound pretty close to the ZS5 (earlier version) or as others claim, version 1. The T2 has smoother and cleaner vocals, plus they just took first place when it comes to guitar and other string instruments sounding so realistic. But, I haven't heard the later version (v2) of the ZS5 to say the same.
