Short answer: the FAAEAL Tulip. Both are rated 3.6/5 for sound quality (#740 and #701 of 1291 in-ear headphones), and the FAAEAL Tulip costs $107 against $114 for the Kefine Klanar, and with sound quality even, the cheaper one is the better buy.
What the FAAEAL Tulip does well: A single 10mm dynamic IEM with a bass-heavy, Harman-like tuning and full sub-bass to 20 Hz (score 69 across four measurements). The catch: Treble sits about 3.1 dB above target, so it can sound bright.
What the Kefine Klanar does well: The median of 20 hobbyist measurements gives it a solid Harman preference score of 69 with a 2.14 dB spread. The tradeoff: Presence sits about 3.4 dB low with a 4.7 dB dip near 3.6 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
Buy the FAAEAL Tulip. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $7 less than the Kefine Klanar.

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.
