Short answer: the DUNU DN242. It ranks #474 of 1291 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 3.9/5, at $345. The Yanyin Canon Pro ranks #581, rated 3.8/5, at $339.99, $5.01 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
Why pick the DUNU DN242: The median of 4 hobbyist measurements gives it a solid Harman preference score of 73 with a 1.90 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 1.3 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. The catch: Presence sits about 4.6 dB low with a 5.9 dB dip near 3.6 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
Why pick the Yanyin Canon Pro: The median of 12 hobbyist measurements gives it a solid Harman preference score of 71 with a 2.11 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 1 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. The tradeoff: Presence sits about 6.2 dB low with an 8 dB dip near 5.4 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
Buy the DUNU DN242. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $5.01 saving on the Yanyin Canon Pro is not enough to make up the difference.

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.
