Short answer: the Agasound Sublimation Burnout. Both are rated 4.1/5 for sound quality (#371 and #337 of 1291 in-ear headphones), and the Agasound Sublimation Burnout costs $179 against $199 for the IKKO OH10S, with sound quality a draw, the lower price decides it.
Why pick the Agasound Sublimation Burnout: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 75 against the Harman target. Watch for: Treble about 2 dB below target from 3 to 10 kHz, which can sound dull or veiled next to brighter headphones.
What the IKKO OH10S does well: The median of 4 hobbyist measurements gives it a very good Harman preference score of 75 with a 1.71 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 0.7 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. The catch: A 5.7 dB peak near 8.2 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp.
Buy the Agasound Sublimation Burnout. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $20 less than the IKKO OH10S.

Frequency Response Compared
Both headphones’ measurements overlaid on the Harman target. Above the target sounds louder in that range, below it quieter. Each curve is the median of several independent measurements, shifted so its 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB, so only the tuning is compared.
