Short answer: the Teufel Boomster Go. It ranks #7 of 47 small speakers by sound quality; the JBL Clip ranks #35.
What the Teufel Boomster Go offers: Pretty deep bass and quite balanced overall for the size. Watch for: Distortion becomes audible above roughly 75% volume; at max volume up close it gets unclear and tinny.
What the JBL Clip offers: Very compact and light (5.3 oz) with an integrated carabiner. Watch for: Quite a lack of bass.
Buy the Teufel Boomster Go if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the JBL Clip if the price matters more than sound quality.
If battery life is a priority, the Teufel Boomster Go is rated for 10 hours versus 5 hours for the JBL Clip.
If water resistance matters to you, the Teufel Boomster Go at IPX7 (brief submersion) holds up far better than the JBL Clip at no water resistance.
