Short answer: the Willen II if brand and balanced tuning matter to you and the price isn’t a concern; the PocketGo if you want a much cheaper speaker that still pairs with a second unit for stereo. These rank #32 and #11 out of 62 small portable speakers, at $22.99 and $129.99, with the Willen II costing $107 more.
The Willen II out-ranks the PocketGo and is the more balanced-sounding of the two, with no sharp treble according to our own notes - though it isn’t especially deep in the bass either, and its output tops out fairly low compared to pricier speakers, with some midrange congestion at volume.
The PocketGo has two things the Willen II doesn’t: TWS pairing and a lower price. Buy two PocketGos and you get real stereo separation, something the Willen II’s spec sheet doesn’t support at all. The PocketGo also runs a few hours longer on battery and undercuts the Willen II by nearly four times on price. Neither has an aux input - both are Bluetooth-only.
Buy the Willen II for Marshall’s tuning and brand if the price fits your budget. Buy the PocketGo if you want TWS pairing and a much lower cost.
