Short answer: the KZ Sonata. Both are rated 3.3/5 for sound quality (#933 and #936 of 1291 in-ear headphones), and the KZ Sonata costs $179.99 against $199 for the Oriveti OD200, with sound quality a draw, the lower price decides it.
What the KZ Sonata does well: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 65 against the Harman target. The catch: An uneven response, 2.9 dB standard deviation from target.
What the Oriveti OD200 does well: 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 2 dB below target from 3 to 10 kHz, which can sound dull or veiled next to brighter headphones.
Buy the KZ Sonata. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $19.01 less than the Oriveti OD200.

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.
