Short answer: the ZiiGaat Luna. Both are rated 4.3/5 for sound quality (#213 and #222 of 1291 in-ear headphones), and the ZiiGaat Luna costs $379 against $399 for the ThieAudio Hype 2, so with nothing between them on sound quality, price settles it.
What the ThieAudio Hype 2 does well: The median of 30 hobbyist measurements gives it a very good Harman preference score of 77 with a 1.51 dB spread. The tradeoff: Presence sits about 3.4 dB low with a 4 dB dip near 3.9 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
The case for the ZiiGaat Luna: The median of 21 hobbyist measurements gives it a very good Harman preference score of 77 with a 1.68 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. The catch: Presence sits about 4 dB low with a 5.3 dB dip near 3.9 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
Buy the ZiiGaat Luna. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $20 less than the ThieAudio Hype 2.

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.
