I just got my Monk + today and after a quick listening session with my Fiio X1, I've come to the conclusion that it sounds better than all my other current budget Chinese IEM's: KZ HDS1, KZ ED3 "The Acme", Rock Zircons and Eazy M2's.. Now I know that isn't a list of high-end IEM's at all, however, they are known as "great bangs for the buck" and the Monk + just topped them all.

I agree! Closest thing from that "great bangs for a buck" bunch is Yinjw WOM-mod.
But now there`s a NUN IEM in my ears! I`m "in heaven"!
Next thing to compete with NUN will be HLSX DD+BA.

I have got the Xiaomi Piston 3 and I bought the Monk this month.
I can compare both.
And Xiaomi Piston 3 is very better than Monk.
Listening for example U2 with Xiaomi Piston 3 and with Monk you can listen the diferences.
Xiaomi Piston 3 is also cheap and it's better than Monk.

I have tried the Noble Savant and I bought the Xiaomi Piston 3 this month.
