Short answer: the JBL Wind 3, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #46 of 59 small speakers by sound quality, rated 2.7/5, at $67.92; the Muzen Wild Mini ranks #52, rated 2.5/5, and costs $75, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 59 small speakers; for better sound, the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 ranks #1 at $59.99.
The JBL Wind 3 is the tougher option. A dedicated portable bicycle and handlebar speaker featuring an integrated snap-in handlebar dock and built-in belt clip. It is rated IP67 against IPX5 for the Muzen Wild Mini. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Muzen Wild Mini lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Muzen Wild Mini lacks. Watch for: No independent frequency response or output measurements exist to compare against ranked speakers.
What the Muzen Wild Mini does well: Distinctive retro military-radio design with an all-metal (zinc alloy) body: feels far more solid than the plastic speakers in this class. Watch for: Not much bass at all, quite thuddy.
Buy the JBL Wind 3. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Muzen Wild Mini and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
About the ratings: the JBL Wind 3’s rating is estimated from measured siblings and predecessors rather than its own measurements, with a likely range of 2.3 to 3.1, so this verdict could change once it is measured.

The Two Speakers In Full
JBL Wind 3: $67.92 Estimated Amazon eBay
Pros: A dedicated portable bicycle and handlebar speaker featuring an integrated snap-in handlebar dock and built-in belt clip. Includes FM radio, microSD card playback, 3.5mm aux input, and Bluetooth 5.0 streaming, plus an LED display for radio frequency and playback mode. IP67 waterproof and dustproof with two EQ modes (Sport for outdoors, Bass for indoors).
Cons: No independent frequency response or output measurements exist to compare against ranked speakers. Modest 5W RMS output from a single 43x47mm transducer limits loudness in noisy traffic, and battery life is rated for only up to 5 hours (often less at outdoor listening levels). The plastic handlebar mount has received mixed feedback from cyclists for fit and vibration on rough terrain.
