Short answer: the JBL Go 5 on sound and price, the Muzen Wild Go on build. The Go 5 ranks #29 of 62 at $54.95, $8.96 less, with IP68 and AirTouch stereo pairing, though it is still overpriced and barely different from the Go 4 besides the lights. The Wild Go’s retro military-radio design and zinc alloy body feel far more solid than the plastic speakers in this class, but it has not much bass at all and sounds quite thuddy.
Buy the JBL Go 5. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $8.96 with the Muzen Wild Go does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
Water resistance is not close: the JBL Go 5 is rated at IP68 (extended submersion), well ahead of the Muzen Wild Go at IPX5 (water jets).
