Short answer: the Soundcore Mini, if you are buying new. The Vifa City ranks higher than it (#10 vs #13 of 62 small speakers, 4.0/5 vs 3.8/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Soundcore Mini is still sold new at $39.99.
The Vifa City is the tougher option. A small, stylish speaker with detailed, balanced sound and clear vocals even at low volume, and stereo pairing. It is rated IPX4, while the Soundcore Mini has no water resistance. It charges over USB-C rather than Micro USB. The catch: Dip at 1200Hz.
The Soundcore Mini is the lighter option. A palm sized budget speaker with a 15 hour battery, an FM radio and microSD playback. At 0.4 lbs (200 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Vifa City at 0.7 lbs (300 g). It keeps a wired aux input, which the Vifa City lacks. The catch: Bass does not reach as deep as higher-ranked speakers.
Buy the Soundcore Mini, since the Vifa City is discontinued and only worth hunting down used.
