Short answer: the Simgot EG280. It ranks #373 of 1291 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 4.1/5, at $79.99; the Melody Wings Jupiter ranks #451, rated 4.0/5, at $78. The price gap is small enough that the sound-quality ranking should decide it.
Why pick the Simgot EG280: The median of 15 hobbyist measurements gives it a solid Harman preference score of 74 with a 1.76 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 0.7 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. Watch for: Its 1.76 dB spread is less even than the best measured sets.
The case for the Melody Wings Jupiter: The median of 5 hobbyist measurements gives it a solid Harman preference score of 73 with a 1.79 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 0.6 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. Watch for: A 6.4 dB peak near 8.2 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp.
Buy the Simgot EG280. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $1.99 you would save on the Melody Wings Jupiter does not close the 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.
