Short answer: the Tribit Xsound Go for balance, the Soundcore Mini for inputs and price. The Xsound Go sounds well balanced, though it is lacking quite a bit of bass compared to bigger speakers. The Mini has an FM tuner, aux input and MicroSD and costs $5 less, with bass that is not quite as deep as higher ranked speakers.
Buy the Soundcore Mini at $39.99 if you want a small speaker. Buy the Tribit Xsound Go at $34.99 if you want a medium speaker instead.
If battery life is a priority, the Tribit Xsound Go is rated for 24 hours versus 15 hours for the Soundcore Mini.
Water resistance is not close: the Tribit Xsound Go is rated at IPX7 (brief submersion), well ahead of the Soundcore Mini at no water resistance.
