Short answer: the Bose Soundlink Micro 2. It ranks #18 of 62 small speakers by sound quality, rated 3.6/5, at $129. The Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker ranks #62, rated 2.0/5, at $59.98, $69.02 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The Bose Soundlink Micro 2 is the better-sounding pick. A waterproof mini speaker with a fabric strap for bags and bikes and USB-C charging. It supports aptX Bluetooth, which the Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker lacks. It links with other speakers (Bose Party mode), which the Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker lacks. Watch for: Lack of clarity.
The Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker is the lighter choice. A tiny wearable speaker with a clip, dust and water resistance, and a microphone for calls on a job site. At 0.1 lbs (56 g) it weighs much less than the Bose Soundlink Micro 2 at 0.7 lbs (329 g).
Buy the Bose Soundlink Micro 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $69.02 you would save on the Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker does not close the gap.
