Short answer: the DUNU SA6 MK2. It ranks #969 of 1291 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 3.1/5, at $559. The Yanyin Mahina ranks #983, rated 3.0/5, at $551.65, $7.35 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
Why pick the DUNU SA6 MK2: Bass sits close to target and holds down to 20 Hz, so low end sounds full without bloat. The tradeoff: Presence sits about 6.8 dB low with an 8.6 dB dip near 5.6 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
The case for the Yanyin Mahina: A seven driver hybrid with a 10mm dynamic woofer, four balanced armatures and two electrostatic tweeters, tuned dark and relaxed for listeners who dislike bright treble. The tradeoff: Squig.link measurements show presence about 7.3 dB below target with a 10.3 dB dip near 5.4 kHz, so vocals, strings and percussion lose clarity and attack.
Buy the DUNU SA6 MK2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $7.35 with the Yanyin Mahina does not make up for the sound-quality gap.

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.
