Short answer: the Brise Audio FUGAKU for better sound quality, the Aroma Audio Jewel for the lower price. The Brise Audio FUGAKU ranks #674 of 1291 in-ear headphones, rated 3.7/5, at $16,999. The Aroma Audio Jewel ranks #938, rated 3.3/5, at $5,130, $11,869 cheaper.
The Brise Audio FUGAKU is the better-sounding choice. A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 70 against the Harman target. Watch for: Treble about 3 dB below target from 3 to 10 kHz, which can sound dull or veiled next to brighter headphones.
Why pick the Aroma Audio Jewel: A published AutoEQ preset corrects its response toward the Harman target, so a few minutes of EQ setup closes most of the gap. Watch for: Treble about 5 dB below target from 3 to 10 kHz, which can sound dull or veiled next to brighter headphones.
Buy the Brise Audio FUGAKU if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Aroma Audio Jewel if the price matters more than sound quality.

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.
