Short answer: the JBL Go 3. It ranks #31 of 62 small speakers by sound quality, rated 3.2/5, at $35.95; the Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker ranks #62, rated 2.0/5, and costs $59.98, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The JBL Go 3 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass option. A pocket sized waterproof speaker with a rope loop for clipping to a bag. Its bass reaches about 87Hz before falling 10dB, against 300Hz for the Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker. The tradeoff: Not much bass at all, strange mids peak.
The Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker is the longer-running, lighter pick. A tiny wearable speaker with a clip, dust and water resistance, and a microphone for calls on a job site. It is rated for 10 hours of battery against 5 for the JBL Go 3. At 0.1 lbs (56 g) it weighs much less than the JBL Go 3 at 0.5 lbs (209 g).
Buy the JBL Go 3. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
