Short answer: the Kinera Celest Wyvern Abyss. It ranks #577 of 1291 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 3.8/5, at $29.99; the Kinera Celest Wyvern ranks #680, rated 3.7/5, at $29.99. The price gap is small enough that the sound-quality ranking should decide it.
What the Kinera Celest Wyvern Abyss does well: The median of 15 hobbyist measurements gives it a solid Harman preference score of 71 with a 2.07 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 0.8 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. Watch for: Its 2.07 dB spread is less even than the best measured sets.
The case for the Kinera Celest Wyvern: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 70 against the Harman target. Watch for: Treble about 4 dB below target from 3 to 10 kHz, which can sound dull or veiled next to brighter headphones.

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.
