Short answer: the Bogasing M5. It ranks #61 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.5/5, at $52.99; the Walla Sound ranks #163, rated 2.2/5, at $49.99. The price gap is small enough that the sound-quality ranking should decide it.
The Walla Sound is the lighter option. A small shockproof speaker with an aux input, microSD playback and a built in microphone. At 0.7 lbs (300 g) it weighs much less than the Bogasing M5 at 1.7 lbs (757 g). The catch: No bass, gets distorted when turned up.
The Bogasing M5 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass option. A compact, backpack friendly speaker with very long battery life and USB-C charging at a budget price. Its bass reaches about 61Hz before falling 10dB, against 90Hz for the Walla Sound. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 8 for the Walla Sound. It is rated IPX7 against IPX5 for the Walla Sound. Watch for: Front/rear driver configuration.
Buy the Bogasing M5. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $3 you would save on the Walla Sound does not close the gap.
