Short answer: the Kinera Loki Divine Mark. It ranks #477 of 1291 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 3.9/5, at $3,399. The AME Gaia ranks #620, rated 3.8/5, at $3,200, $199 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
What the Kinera Loki Divine Mark does well: The median of 3 hobbyist measurements gives it a solid Harman preference score of 73 with a 1.87 dB spread. The catch: A 10.9 dB peak near 11.9 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp.
What the AME Gaia does well: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 71 against the Harman target. The catch: An uneven response, 2.1 dB standard deviation from target.
Buy the Kinera Loki Divine Mark. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $199 with the AME Gaia does not make up for the sound-quality gap.

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.
Measurement data: the Kinera Loki Divine Mark from bassaudio, dl and hu-fi; the AME Gaia from dchpgall, eliseaudio and jaytiss, all via squig.link.
