Short answer: the KBear Tourbillon Pro. It ranks #892 of 1369 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 3.4/5, at $99; the Sound Rhyme SR10 ranks #961, rated 3.3/5, at $99. Close enough in price that the sound-quality gap is the deciding factor.
The case for the KBear Tourbillon Pro: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 66 against the Harman target. The catch: Treble about 2 dB below target from 3 to 10 kHz, which can sound dull or veiled next to brighter headphones.
Why pick the Sound Rhyme SR10: A published AutoEQ preset corrects its response toward the Harman target, so a few minutes of EQ setup closes most of the gap. The catch: Treble about 3 dB below target from 3 to 10 kHz, which can sound dull or veiled next to brighter headphones.
Buy the KBear Tourbillon Pro. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Sound Rhyme SR10 at the same price, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it 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.
