Short answer: the Willen II for even tuning, the Soundcore Mini 3 Pro for lights on top. The Willen II is more balanced than the first Willen with no sharp treble, but its bass is not that deep. The Mini 3 Pro puts lights on top but its highs are rolled off, so it is not the pick for bass either.
Buy the Marshall Willen II new; the Soundcore Mini 3 Pro is no longer sold new, so it only makes sense as a used find.
