Short answer: a tie on sound quality. Both are rated 3.6/5 (#740 and #741 of 1291 in-ear headphones) at nearly the same price ($107 vs $109), so choose on features and fit.
Why pick the FAAEAL Tulip: A single 10mm dynamic IEM with a bass-heavy, Harman-like tuning and full sub-bass to 20 Hz (score 69 across four measurements). Watch for: Treble sits about 3.1 dB above target, so it can sound bright.
What the KBEAR Voyages SR-8 does well: A hybrid with a liquid silicone dynamic driver and three balanced armatures. Watch for: Bass sits about 2.6 dB above target, a bass heavy balance.
Buy the FAAEAL Tulip or the KBEAR Voyages SR-8 on features: they are rated the same for sound quality at close to the same price.

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.
