Short answer: the JBL Flip 7, narrowly, on features. The Cleer Audio Scene is quite neutral, almost indistinguishable from the very neutral Flip 6 apart from worse bass extension. But it has no app, EQ, stereo pairing or multipoint, while the Flip 7 is very neutral and almost pocket size, only a little bump at 4kHz short of the Flip 6.
Buy the JBL Flip 7. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $44.96 with the Cleer Audio Scene does not make up for the sound-quality gap.

The Two Speakers In Full
JBL Flip 7: $119.95 Amazon eBay
Older models: the JBL Flip 6 (ranked higher, rated 4.2/5), the JBL Flip 5 (ranked lower, rated 3.3/5) and the JBL Flip 4 (ranked lower, rated 3.3/5).
Pros: A very neutral speaker, very small, almost pocket size. Just slightly more treble than the Flip 6 which was already a great speaker. Slightly deeper bass than the Flip 6. IP68 protection, a 7-band app EQ, Auracast and a USB-C digital audio input. Measured bass extension of 59Hz (-10dB).
Cons: A little bit of a bump at 4kHz, not quite as neutral as the Flip 6. On balance it is the slightly worse of the two.

Cleer Audio Scene: $74.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: Quite neutral frequency response, almost indistinguishable from the very neutral Flip 6 besides the worse bass extension. Measured bass extension of ~62Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Less bass extension than a Flip 6. No app, EQ, stereo pairing, or multipoint. Sound is fairly directional: best right in front of it. Bigger and heavier than most speakers this size.
