Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3. It ranks #6 of 62 small speakers by sound quality (rated 4.2/5) at $56.76 and is still sold new; the Vifa City ranks #10 (rated 4.0/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 is the deeper-bass, longer-running pick. A tough strap on mini speaker with full waterproofing, a 24 hour battery and a power bank output. Its bass reaches about 62Hz before falling 10dB, against 73Hz for the Vifa City. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 12 for the Vifa City. It is rated IP68 against IPX4 for the Vifa City. Watch for: Bass is thuddy and distorted by default and needs EQ.
Why pick the Vifa City: A small, stylish speaker with detailed, balanced sound and clear vocals even at low volume, and stereo pairing. The catch: Dip at 1200Hz.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the Vifa City is discontinued, so it is only available used.
