Short answer: the JBL Go 3. It ranks #31 of 62 small speakers by sound quality, rated 3.2/5, at $35.95; the Muzen Wild Go ranks #56, rated 2.4/5, and costs $45.99, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The JBL Go 3 is the better-sounding, tougher choice. A pocket sized waterproof speaker with a rope loop for clipping to a bag. It is rated IP67 against IPX5 for the Muzen Wild Go. The tradeoff: Not much bass at all, strange mids peak.
What the Muzen Wild Go does well: A small speaker with a vintage military radio look, a sturdy metal body, and a built in flashlight for camping trips. The catch: Not much bass at all, quite thuddy.
Buy the JBL Go 3. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Muzen Wild Go and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
