Which is better for listening to music on the course?

The Upside Golf speaker. It costs $69.99, is fully waterproof, and pairs with a second unit for stereo. The Wingman 2 sounds fine but you pay mostly for the GPS.

Does the Wingman 2 really give distances out loud?

Yes. It calls out front, middle and back distances using its GPS on 38,000+ courses. The Upside Golf speaker has no GPS at all.

Which survives rain better?

The Upside Golf speaker, at IPX7. It can be submerged up to 3 feet. The Wingman 2 is IPX6, which handles heavy spray but not a dunk in a pond.

Is the Wingman 2 worth the extra $100?

Only if you will use the GPS. If you already have a rangefinder or watch, the Upside Golf speaker does the audio job for $69.99 at UPSIDEGOLF.

Which lasts longer on a charge?

They are close. Bushnell lists up to 14 hours; Upside Golf lists 12 hours in the specs and 15 on its product page. Real runtime depends on volume.

Can either charge my phone?

Only the Wingman 2. It has a USB-A power bank port. The Upside Golf speaker has no output port.
