Short answer: the Sony SRS-XB13 for better sound quality, the Muzen Wild Go for the lower price. The Sony SRS-XB13 ranks #34 of 47 small speakers at $58.15. The Muzen Wild Go ranks #41 at $51, $7.15 cheaper.
What the Sony SRS-XB13 offers: Long battery life (~16 hours). Watch for: Not much bass.
What the Muzen Wild Go offers: 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 Sony SRS-XB13 if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Muzen Wild Go if the price matters more than sound quality.
If sound quality matters at all to you, skip the Muzen Wild Go. It ranks near the bottom of the 47 small speakers, so look higher up the list instead.
If battery life is a priority, the Sony SRS-XB13 is rated for 16 hours versus 8 hours for the Muzen Wild Go.
