Short answer: a tie on sound quality. Both are rated 3.1/5 (#98 and #100 of 179 medium speakers) at nearly the same price ($69.95 vs $69.97), so choose on features and fit.
The JBL Grip is the lighter option. A small, fully waterproof speaker with app EQ, ambient lighting, Auracast linking and USB-C audio input. At 0.8 lbs (385 g) it weighs much less than the Treblab HD77 at 1.4 lbs (637 g). It has an adjustable EQ, which the Treblab HD77 lacks. The tradeoff: Lacking deeper bass, definitely the worst of the JBL line until you get to the smaller clip.
The Treblab HD77 is the longer-running pick. An affordable speaker with an aux input, long battery life, a speakerphone mic and pairing with a second unit. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 14 for the JBL Grip. It keeps a wired aux input, which the JBL Grip lacks. Watch for: Lacking quite a bit of bass compared to higher ranked speakers.
Buy the JBL Grip or the Treblab HD77 on features: they are rated the same for sound quality at close to the same price.
