Short answer: the Tribit PocketGo. It ranks #32 of 62 small speakers by sound quality, rated 3.2/5, at $22.99; the Noxgear 0.1 lbs (39 g) ranks #61, rated 2.2/5, and costs $69.95, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Tribit PocketGo is the better-sounding, longer-running option. A very cheap pocket speaker with a long battery, app EQ, and a loop so it can stand, hang, or lie flat. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 15 for the Noxgear 0.1 lbs (39 g). It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Noxgear 0.1 lbs (39 g) lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Noxgear 0.1 lbs (39 g) lacks. The catch: Battery life isn’t the biggest for this speaker class. JBL Go 5 has better build quality plus lightshow, Auracast, and AirTouch.
The Noxgear 0.1 lbs (39 g) is the lighter choice. An extremely light speaker that clips magnetically to a shirt, with a safety light for runners in low light. At 0.1 lbs (39 g) it weighs much less than the Tribit PocketGo at 0.5 lbs (220 g). Watch for: It sounds worse than a clock radio with the worst bass of any speaker.
Buy the Tribit PocketGo. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Noxgear 0.1 lbs (39 g) and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
