Short answer: the Tribit Xsound Go. It ranks #101 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.1/5, at $34.99; the Walla Sound ranks #163, rated 2.2/5, and costs $49.99, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The Tribit Xsound Go is the better-sounding, longer-running pick. A very light, inexpensive waterproof stereo speaker with long battery life for travel and casual listening. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 8 for the Walla Sound. It is rated IPX7 against IPX5 for the Walla Sound. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Walla Sound lacks. Watch for: Lacking quite a bit of bass compared to bigger speakers.
The Walla Sound is the lighter choice. A small shockproof speaker with an aux input, microSD playback and a built in microphone. At 0.7 lbs (300 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Tribit Xsound Go at 0.8 lbs (380 g). The catch: No bass, gets distorted when turned up.
Buy the Tribit Xsound Go. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Walla Sound and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
