Short answer: the Doss Soundbox Pro, if you are buying new, though neither ranks well in its class. The Beats Pill+ measures as well as it (#140 vs #144 of 151 medium speakers, 2.1/5 vs 2.1/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Doss Soundbox Pro is still sold new at $49.99. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 151 medium speakers, so if sound quality matters, consider the Earfun Uboom L instead, ranked #1 at $49.79.
On the Beats Pill+ side: Compact cylindrical design, smaller than most water bottles. Set against that: Peaky midrange and lower treble, very little bass.
Buy the Doss Soundbox Pro if you want one new; the Beats Pill+ is discontinued, so only look for it used.
