Short answer: the Sony SRS-XB100, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #43 of 63 small speakers by sound quality, rated 2.9/5, at $63; the Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker ranks #63, rated 2.0/5, at $59.98. The price gap is small enough that the sound-quality ranking should decide it. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 63 small speakers, so if sound quality matters, consider the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 instead, ranked #1 at $35.39.
The Sony SRS-XB100 is the better-sounding, longer-running option. A pocketable waterproof speaker with a long real world battery, a clip for bags, and stereo pairing. It is rated for 16 hours of battery against 10 for the Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker lacks. Watch for: Not much bass.
The Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker is the lighter option. A tiny wearable speaker with a clip, dust and water resistance, and a microphone for calls on a job site. At 0.1 lbs (56 g) it weighs much less than the Sony SRS-XB100 at 0.6 lbs (274 g).
Buy the Sony SRS-XB100. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $3.02 saving on the Dewalt Wearable Bluetooth Speaker is not enough to make up the difference.
