Short answer: the Edifier D12. It ranks #7 of 29 powered desktop speakers by sound quality, rated 3.8/5, at $179.99. The Klipsch The One II ranks #26, rated 3.3/5, at $149.95, $30.04 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The Edifier D12 is the better-sounding choice. A stereo desktop speaker in one box with Bluetooth, aux and RCA inputs, and a lot of sound for the money.
What the Klipsch The One II does well: A compact retro tabletop speaker with Bluetooth and plenty of inputs, including optical, RCA, aux and USB. The tradeoff: Bass is limited by its 50Hz to 20kHz (Manufacturer specified) specification.
Buy the Edifier D12. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $30.04 with the Klipsch The One II does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
