Short answer: the Punch Audio Portazo. It ranks #999 of 1291 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 3.0/5, at $170.10; the ZiiGaat x HBB Arcadia ranks #1022, rated 2.9/5, and costs $179.10, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
What the Punch Audio Portazo does well: Bass is lifted about 3 dB with extension to 20 Hz, giving kick drums and bass lines extra weight. Watch for: Presence sits about 3.7 dB low with a 5.8 dB dip near 5.8 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
What the ZiiGaat x HBB Arcadia does well: Bass sits close to target and holds down to 20 Hz, so low end sounds full without bloat. Watch for: Presence sits about 6.5 dB low with an 8.6 dB dip near 6.3 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
Buy the Punch Audio Portazo. It is rated higher for sound quality than the ZiiGaat x HBB Arcadia and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.

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.
