Short answer: the KBEAR KB03. It ranks #327 of 1291 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 4.1/5, at $54.99; the Cozoy D2 ranks #418, rated 4.0/5, and costs $55, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
What the KBEAR KB03 does well: The median of 6 hobbyist measurements gives it a very good Harman preference score of 75 with a 1.77 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 0.6 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. The tradeoff: A 4.6 dB peak near 8.2 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp.
The case for the Cozoy D2: The median of 16 hobbyist measurements gives it a solid Harman preference score of 74 with a 2.11 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 0.7 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. The tradeoff: Presence sits about 3.6 dB low with a 7.5 dB dip near 6.3 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
Buy the KBEAR KB03. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Cozoy D2 and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.

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.
