Short answer: the TOZO PE1. It ranks #21 of 62 small speakers by sound quality, rated 3.5/5, at $22.99; the JBL Clip 4 ranks #23, rated 3.4/5, and costs $64.95, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The TOZO PE1 is the deeper-bass pick. A very cheap, light mini speaker with full waterproofing, a carabiner and app EQ. Its bass reaches about 68Hz before falling 10dB, against 80Hz for the JBL Clip 4. It has an adjustable EQ, which the JBL Clip 4 lacks. The catch: Battery life is about 12 hours in use, far short of the claimed 32 hours.
The case for the JBL Clip 4: A very light clip on speaker with a sturdy carabiner that hooks onto bags and belts and outlasts its rated battery. Watch for: Quite a lack of bass.
Buy the TOZO PE1. It is rated higher for sound quality than the JBL Clip 4 and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
