Short answer: the Sound Rhyme SR10. It ranks #961 of 1369 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 3.3/5, at $99; the HIDIZS My LIN ranks #1011, rated 3.2/5, at $99. The price gap is small enough that the sound-quality ranking should decide it.
Why pick the Sound Rhyme SR10: A published AutoEQ preset corrects its response toward the Harman target, so a few minutes of EQ setup closes most of the gap. The tradeoff: Treble about 3 dB below target from 3 to 10 kHz, which can sound dull or veiled next to brighter headphones.
The case for the HIDIZS My LIN: About 4 dB more bass than the Harman target below 150 Hz, for listeners who want a fuller low end. The tradeoff: An uneven response, 2.5 dB standard deviation from target.
Buy the Sound Rhyme SR10. It is rated higher for sound quality than the HIDIZS My LIN at the same price, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.

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.
