Short answer: the Soundcore Motion 300 for bass in a small size, the Klipsch Nashville for build. The Motion 300 plays pretty deep bass for its small size, but its balance depends on the EQ, specifically the top two treble EQ bars. The Nashville has the sturdy rubber-coated build, though it adds an upper bass boost.
Buy the Soundcore Motion 300. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Klipsch Nashville and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
There is a real battery-life gap here: the Klipsch Nashville is rated for 24 hours, the Soundcore Motion 300 only 13 hours.
