Short answer: the Teufel Boomster Go. It ranks #7 of 47 small speakers by sound quality; the Marshall Willen II ranks #11.
The case for the Teufel Boomster Go: Pretty deep bass and quite balanced overall for the size. Set against that: Distortion becomes audible above roughly 75% volume; at max volume up close it gets unclear and tinny.
What the Marshall Willen II offers: More balanced than the first Willen, no sharp treble. The tradeoff: Not that deep of bass. Fairly low max output vs pricier speakers; midrange can sound a bit congested at volume.
Buy the Teufel Boomster Go if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Marshall Willen II if the price matters more than sound quality.
If battery life is a priority, the Marshall Willen II is rated for 17 hours versus 10 hours for the Teufel Boomster Go.
