Short answer: the Dita Prelude. Both are rated 4.4/5 for sound quality (#157 and #152 of 1291 in-ear headphones), and the Dita Prelude costs $159 against $175 for the Whizzer Kylin HE10, and with sound quality even, the cheaper one is the better buy.
Why pick the Dita Prelude: Four squig.link measurements give the Prelude a preference score of 79.2, with its single 10mm dynamic driver keeping bass within a dB of target down to 30 Hz. The tradeoff: The treble is uneven, with a 5.5 dB dip near 9.9 kHz followed by a 7 dB peak near 11.9 kHz, which can make cymbals sound dull one moment and splashy the next.
What the Whizzer Kylin HE10 does well: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 79 against the Harman target. The tradeoff: The rating reflects sound quality only; comfort, build and noise isolation are not part of the score.
Buy the Dita Prelude. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $16 less than the Whizzer Kylin HE10.

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.
