Short answer: the ThieAudio Prestige. It ranks #736 of 1291 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 3.6/5, at $1,299. The Soranik MEMS-3S 2025 ranks #806, rated 3.5/5, at $1,200, $99 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The case for the ThieAudio Prestige: A tribrid flagship with four electrostatic tweeters, four balanced armatures and a dynamic driver. The tradeoff: Very expensive for its rating, and a low 95 dB sensitivity needs more volume.
Why pick the Soranik MEMS-3S 2025: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 68 against the Harman target. The tradeoff: An uneven response, 2.3 dB standard deviation from target.
Buy the ThieAudio Prestige. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $99 saving on the Soranik MEMS-3S 2025 is not enough to make up the difference.

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.
