Short answer: the Tronsmart Mirtune H1. It ranks #24 of 63 small speakers by sound quality, rated 3.4/5, at $29.99; the JBL Go 4 ranks #30, rated 3.2/5, and costs $49.95, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
The Tronsmart Mirtune H1 is the longer-running option. A cheap waterproof clip on speaker with a long battery, app EQ, and stereo pairing. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 7 for the JBL Go 4. Watch for: In Storytripper HD’s comparison many listeners found the JBL Clip 5 clearer and fuller, and Beautiful Zar DJ’s viewers preferred the Tribit PocketGo and Tribit Stormbox Micro 3.
The JBL Go 4 is the lighter option. A pocket sized waterproof mini speaker with a loop for hanging and app EQ. At 0.4 lbs (190 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Tronsmart Mirtune H1 at 0.6 lbs (290 g). The tradeoff: Not much bass at all, especially with electronic/bass-heavy tracks pushed past ~50% volume.
Buy the Tronsmart Mirtune H1. It is rated higher for sound quality than the JBL Go 4 and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
