Short answer: a tie on sound quality. Both are rated 3.2/5 (#999 and #1013 of 1369 in-ear headphones) at nearly the same price ($69.99 vs $69.99), so choose on features and fit.
The case for the FiiO FW3: 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, 2.6 dB standard deviation from target.
The case for the TRN White Tiger: 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: Treble about 2 dB below target from 3 to 10 kHz, which can sound dull or veiled next to brighter headphones.
Buy the FiiO FW3 or the TRN White Tiger 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.
