Short answer: a tie on sound quality. Both are rated 4.2/5 (#303 and #267 of 1291 in-ear headphones), so choose on features and fit.
The case for the Craft Ears Omnium: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 76 against the Harman target. The tradeoff: The rating reflects sound quality only; comfort, build and noise isolation are not part of the score.
The case for the Shuoer Cadenza 12: A preference score of 76 with deep, well extended bass, only 0.5 dB short of target at 30 Hz from its 10 mm dynamic woofer. The tradeoff: An 8 dB dip near 5 kHz pulls the presence band 5.5 dB below target, so vocals, snare and guitar attack sound recessed and soft.
Buy the Craft Ears Omnium or the Shuoer Cadenza 12 on features: they are rated the same for sound quality at close to the same price.

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.
