Short answer: the Ultimate Ears Miniroll, if you are buying new. The Vifa City ranks higher than it (#10 vs #12 of 62 small speakers, 4.0/5 vs 3.9/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Ultimate Ears Miniroll is still sold new at $49.99.
What the Vifa City does well: A small, stylish speaker with detailed, balanced sound and clear vocals even at low volume, and stereo pairing. Watch for: Dip at 1200Hz.
The Ultimate Ears Miniroll is the tougher option. A waterproof strap on mini speaker with clear mids and highs, a warm balance, and a long battery for its size. It is rated IP67 against IPX4 for the Vifa City. It links with other speakers (PartyUp/Auracast, Miniroll-only), which the Vifa City cannot. The tradeoff: Bass does not reach as deep as the best-rated speakers.
Buy the Ultimate Ears Miniroll if you want one new; the Vifa City is discontinued, so only look for it used.
