Short answer: the Penon Dome. Both are rated 3.6/5 for sound quality (#744 and #755 of 1291 in-ear headphones), and the Penon Dome costs $349 against $360 for the Tipsy Dunmer Pro 4, with sound quality a draw, the lower price decides it.
What the Penon Dome does well: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 69 against the Harman target. The tradeoff: Treble about 6 dB below target from 3 to 10 kHz, which can sound dull or veiled next to brighter headphones.
The case for the Tipsy Dunmer Pro 4: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 69 against the Harman target. The tradeoff: An uneven response, 2.3 dB standard deviation from target.
Buy the Penon Dome. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $11 less than the Tipsy Dunmer Pro 4.

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.
