Short answer: the EarAcoustic STA Pro. It ranks #856 of 1369 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 3.4/5, at $49.90; the HeartField Blanc ranks #957, rated 3.3/5, at $49. Close enough in price that the sound-quality gap is the deciding factor.
What the EarAcoustic STA Pro does well: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 67 against the Harman target. Watch for: An uneven response, 2.4 dB standard deviation from target.
What the HeartField Blanc does well: 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: An uneven response, 2.8 dB standard deviation from target.
Buy the EarAcoustic STA Pro. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $0.90 you would save on the HeartField Blanc does not close the 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.
