Short answer: the Bose Soundlink Micro 2, if you are buying new. The Vifa City ranks higher than it (#10 vs #18 of 62 small speakers, 4.0/5 vs 3.6/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Bose Soundlink Micro 2 is still sold new at $129.
The Vifa City is the better-sounding option. A small, stylish speaker with detailed, balanced sound and clear vocals even at low volume, and stereo pairing. The tradeoff: Dip at 1200Hz.
The Bose Soundlink Micro 2 is the tougher pick. A waterproof mini speaker with a fabric strap for bags and bikes and USB-C charging. It is rated IP67 against IPX4 for the Vifa City. It supports aptX Bluetooth, which the Vifa City lacks. It links with other speakers (Bose Party mode), which the Vifa City cannot. The catch: Lack of clarity.
Buy the Bose Soundlink Micro 2 new; the Vifa City is no longer sold new, so it only makes sense as a used find.
