Short answer: the Huawei Sound Joy 2, if you are buying new. The Huawei Sound Joy ranks higher than the Walla Sound (#40 vs #163 of 177 medium speakers) but is discontinued; its replacement, the Huawei Sound Joy 2, is rated 3.5/5 at $154.73 and is still sold new.
The Walla Sound is the lighter choice. 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 Huawei Sound Joy at 1.5 lbs (680 g). It keeps a wired aux input, which the Huawei Sound Joy lacks. The catch: No bass, gets distorted when turned up.
The Huawei Sound Joy is the better-sounding, deeper-bass option. A waterproof speaker with a separate tweeter, long battery life and good loudness, with a Devialet mode for its best sound. Its bass reaches about 56Hz before falling 10dB, against 90Hz for the Walla Sound. It is rated for 26 hours of battery against 8 for the Walla Sound. It is rated IP67 against IPX5 for the Walla Sound. The catch: Boosted treble, not quite as deep of bass as a JBL Charge 5.
Buy the Huawei Sound Joy 2, the replacement for the discontinued Huawei Sound Joy; it is rated higher for sound quality than the Walla Sound.
