Short answer: a tie on sound quality. Both are rated 4.2/5 (#175 and #188 of 450 in-ear headphones), so choose on features and fit.

What the Fatfreq Hayabusa does well: A preference score of 76 in crinacle’s measurement places its tuning reasonably close to the Harman target most listeners prefer. The catch: The response is uneven, at 1.94 dB standard deviation from target, so some frequency regions stand out or fall back.
Buy the EPZ P50 or the Fatfreq Hayabusa on features: they are rated the same for sound quality at close to the same price.

Pros: A preference score of 76 in crinacle’s measurement places its tuning reasonably close to the Harman target most listeners prefer. As a closed, wired in-ear it isolates from outside noise.
Cons: The response is uneven, at 1.94 dB standard deviation from target, so some frequency regions stand out or fall back. It is a wired design with no wireless option.
