Short answer: the Lenovo 700 Ultraportable Bluetooth Speaker for better sound quality, the Noxgear 39g for the lower price. The Lenovo 700 Ultraportable Bluetooth Speaker ranks #44 of 47 small speakers at $85. The Noxgear 39g ranks #46 at $59.95, $25.05 cheaper.
What the Lenovo 700 Ultraportable Bluetooth Speaker offers: Very thin profile - about 11mm, similar footprint to a phone. Watch for: Huge lack of bass, probably better off with your phone audio
What the Noxgear 39g offers: Magnetic clip attaches through a shirt/jacket without pins. Watch for: It sounds worse than a clock radio with the worst bass of any speaker.
Buy the Lenovo 700 Ultraportable Bluetooth Speaker if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Noxgear 39g if the price matters more than sound quality.
If sound quality matters at all to you, skip both of these and look higher up the 47 small speakers instead.

Noxgear 39g: $59.95 Amazon
Pros: Magnetic clip attaches through a shirt/jacket without pins. Blue safety light for visibility when running in low light. It’s only 39g of weight. ~15 hour battery life.
Cons: It sounds worse than a clock radio with the worst bass of any speaker. It’s a huge compromise in sound for the small weight.
