Short answer: the Teufel Boomster Go. It ranks #7 of 47 small speakers by sound quality; the Marshall Willen ranks #14.
What the Teufel Boomster Go offers: Pretty deep bass and quite balanced overall for the size. The tradeoff: Distortion becomes audible above roughly 75% volume; at max volume up close it gets unclear and tinny.
On the Marshall Willen side: Exceptionally clear vocals for a mono speaker. Solid, durable build with IP67 water/dust resistance. Watch for: Not that deep of bass. A bit of a sharp treble.
Buy the Teufel Boomster Go if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Marshall Willen if the price matters more than sound quality.
If battery life is a priority, the Marshall Willen is rated for 15 hours versus 10 hours for the Teufel Boomster Go.
