Short answer: a tie on sound quality. Both are rated 3.8/5 (#609 and #565 of 1291 in-ear headphones), so choose on features and fit.
What the Mysticraft Myth does well: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 71 against the Harman target. The catch: Treble about 3 dB below target from 3 to 10 kHz, which can sound dull or veiled next to brighter headphones.
What the SoftEars Twilight does well: Across 20 hobbyist measurements on squig.link no deviation between 1.5 and 12 kHz exceeds 3.4 dB, so the treble stays smooth and free of sharp peaks. The tradeoff: Sub-bass trails the target by about 2.9 dB and is down nearly 5 dB at 30 Hz, so the deepest rumble in electronic and film soundtracks is lighter than ideal.
Buy the Mysticraft Myth or the SoftEars Twilight on features: they are rated the same for sound quality at close to the same price.

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.
