Short answer: the Onn Small Rugged Speaker, if you are buying new. The Vifa City ranks higher than it (#10 vs #35 of 63 small speakers, 4.0/5 vs 3.1/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Onn Small Rugged Speaker is still sold new at $14.88.
The Vifa City is the better-sounding choice. A small, stylish speaker with detailed, balanced sound and clear vocals even at low volume, and stereo pairing. Watch for: Dip at 1200Hz.
The Onn Small Rugged Speaker is the tougher choice. A very cheap, tough waterproof mini speaker with USB-C charging, an aux input, and a speakerphone mic. It is rated IPX7 against IPX4 for the Vifa City. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Vifa City lacks. It links with other speakers (Party Sync Mode), which the Vifa City cannot. The tradeoff: Its 1.5-inch driver cannot create meaningful deep bass (about 66Hz at -10dB) or the clarity and scale of better small speakers.
Buy the Onn Small Rugged Speaker, since the Vifa City is discontinued and only worth hunting down used.
