Short answer: the Tribit Xsound Plus 2. It ranks #36 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.9/5, at $69.99. The Walla Sound ranks #163, rated 2.2/5, at $49.99, $20 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
The Tribit Xsound Plus 2 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass pick. An affordable waterproof stereo speaker with long battery life and an app EQ that can tune it to sound well balanced. Its bass reaches about 55Hz before falling 10dB, against 90Hz for the Walla Sound. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 8 for the Walla Sound. It is rated IPX7 against IPX5 for the Walla Sound. The catch: Boosted treble, boosted bass in the factory EQs.
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 much less than the Tribit Xsound Plus 2 at 1.8 lbs (798 g). The catch: No bass, gets distorted when turned up.
Buy the Tribit Xsound Plus 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $20 saving on the Walla Sound is not enough to make up the difference.
