Short answer: the Soundpeats Air5 Pro, though neither ranks well in its class. Both are rated 2.9/5 for sound quality (#1024 and #1011 of 1291 in-ear headphones), and the Soundpeats Air5 Pro costs $42.98 against $49 for the Kinera Celest Gumiho, with sound quality a draw, the lower price decides it. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 1291 in-ear headphones, so if sound quality matters, consider the Intuaura Reference 2019 instead, ranked #7 at $34.99.
Why pick the Kinera Celest Gumiho: Bass is lifted about 2.6 dB with extension to 20 Hz, giving kick drums and bass lines extra weight. The catch: Presence sits about 5.7 dB low with a 10.5 dB dip near 5.4 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
The case for the Soundpeats Air5 Pro: Bass sits close to target and holds down to 20 Hz, so low end sounds full without bloat. Watch for: Presence sits about 6.6 dB low with an 8.7 dB dip near 5.4 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
Buy the Soundpeats Air5 Pro. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $6.02 less than the Kinera Celest Gumiho.

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.
