Hype 4 MkII or Moondrop x Crinacle Dusk

Hello.

I like to listen to alternative, indie and electronic music. I do like detail but also clear base. I am fine with EQing things, so is it worth going with the technically better option? Also, is there some special magic that the Dusk does to its base that might dissuade juat EQing the Hype 4 mkII to be like the Dusk? Just in case I want to in the future, as I haven't listened to either yet myself.

Finally, are there more recent and stronger cpmpetitors that do better what these two try to do?

I am tempted to get both on amazon and return the one I don't like but lots of taxes and not sure if those dollars are recoverable.

Thanks in advance.

I listen to the likes of Aphex Twin, Incredible Polo, Voyage (and similar), some Radiohead, etc.

For reference, I use HD490 Pro with some added lower bass in eq to pick up the canyon there a bit and enjoy how clean it sounds. Also listened to WH1000xm5 before.
