That's a clean sounding speaker I've heard tonight.

that B&O is just mind-blowing FANTASTIC

That room has too many hard surfaces and a lot of echo. Some white linen sound panels would probably help.

Even though my two hundred and some euros headphones sounds amazing!

Listening to this on my Genelec studio speakers, the Mania sounds very muffled, like you are listening to it from another room. I skipped ahead and heard the Mania first and thought "oh well, we're not going to get much from this, the audio sounds pretty bad. I was hugely surprised to hear how much better things got when he switched to the Onyx. Yes, there is definitely more width in the Devialet speaker but there too much missing in the mids for the Mania to sound any good. It's not as obvious with the second track but the sound is still noticeably worse. If they were the same price, the Onyx would be a no brainer but for one-third the price, I can't imagine why anyone would buy the Mania, except for the fact it looks like a prop from Star Trek.

Even though the B&O is brighter seemingly to have more detail, but the balance for the Mania just sounds so much more "real".

Why are you so against showing yourself? You could always wear a mask.

The B&O P6 sounds better to my headphone than that of Mania

Why don’t any of you guys play real music in the demos?

Your voice is so good, better than both the speaker ❤

In Denmark the B&O speaker is dkr. 2000 while the Mania is dkr. 6500... So the speaker that costs 3.25x more is better? Colour me surprised :P

Great review; I wish I had the name of the songs your playing!

My dream speaker was BB3, now that I hear this Devialet mania this is now my current dream but man I need to save more money coz this isn't cheap haha😂😂

If enough space and $, A9 of course. Thanks.

Can you connect two or more mania unit and play from a single source?

Quite dissapointed with the Mania in this video. However, I think it shall be a lot better “in live”. Cannot imagine that there is such a big difference respectively that the Mania is so poor in real life, having watched different videos and read various tests. Thanks a lot for the comparison.

Too static display.....dont you have a face.....hands ??????

Is this a fair comparison? The Mania is a portal Bluetooth speaker and the Beoplay 9 is impressive but It is a home speaker.

Do an outdoor test at 100% with the bass and hi all the way up playing plastic dreams - Jadee kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i92AfsxirZ7YaYE.html

its not a software issue, its the hardware inside thats buggin out or struggle to proces connecting, cause their ram memmory is very low ..

What are your thoughts on the mania after owning for over a year?

Which one better JBL boombox 3 or Devialet mania ?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I had the big phantom gold and now have the mania. The mania goers as low as the bigger Devialet products for sure. It’s crazy what they’ve been able to do. It’s worth every penny. Be sure to also buy the charging dock and the new carrying case they’ve released. It’s amazing

Onyx wins hands down A for effort for devialet

So i looked at this speaker for months, before making a decision. I made the decision to get the phantom instead😂 however had the opportunity to try the mania and i got to say the speaker kicks hard. But loving the phantom even more, definitely one of the beat investments into sound i have made. Would put it up their with Focal.

Mania is missing a lot of midrange hete

Can you use this in tv?

Il just stick to my UE Hyperboom, tweak the eq and its base, clarity snd 24 battery life is amazing now @ $300 🎉

The Harman Kardon Onyx studio 6 is $99 right now on Harman Kardon's website. Im really tempted to get one.

I love the A9!! Oh, and I am fan of the music. Brian Simpson's "Sky Watch".

I have an important question: I got mine yesterday, i love the sound basically, but if i listen to some tracks with an hard bass like some house or techno tracks and adjust bass/treble to plus 3 or higher and i go at 75% volume, than it sounds like the mania couldn’t handle that bass, it sounds like overdrive, like the membranes hit something or the air couldn’t get out from the inside… but that’s only with bass heavy songs, in other normal songs i could set it to +3 or so and go to 100% volume without this problem, so inreally don’t know if it’s normal because it’s simply to much bass for this thing if i put the eq to plus or if my mania is broken… 🤔 And it’s only on one side, not on the other which is strange too, but that could eventually be because it’s not exactly the same on the inside on both sides ? The thing is, i think if the speaker would be broken, then it wouldn’t play without distortion if i put the eq on neutral and 100% volume because that’s allready bass heavy, or am i wrong ? But at the same time i am a little bit disappointed because on a premium brand with the i think most expensive speaker in this class that shouldn’t be possible to acchieve an distortion in my opinion, even if i adjust the bass to +6! Could you please try this song and put the bass to +6 and go about 70% so i know if i have to send it back or its normal ? The song was: „Kolter - washed away“ and i heard it on spotify via airplay

Обе детские игрушки!

Flat eq?

I’ve 2 of theses and they are the nuts 🥜

Is there a sub in there somewhere?

How do we know which one is playing? Maybe use caption text?

better sound than I expected

I have both and I can tell you that the mania is so much more powerful than the p6 it’s power can probably be compared to much much bigger speakers from all other brands. Devialet has hit the ball out of the park! Absolutely love it!

Great review! What is the title of this test track?

6.09 SONG ?

The mania sound like expensive Bose(muddy). For the money EV Everse 8 is wayyy better. You can say but…. The old Vifa Copenhagen is much better in sound quality.

There is no way a Devialet Mania outperforms an A9. I have two A9s and used to have a Devialet Phantom. The phantom was not close in terms of clarity than the A9s.

You are playing this speaker wrong. The woofers should be facing sideways. That is wrong way you are playing it.

I believe if you disable Alexa on the Mania, popping noise goes away. Someone let me know if this helps. ✅🍿

I think the clear winner here is the Harman Kardon. At 7 times the price the Devialet Mania 'premium' just isn't justified

But problem is very low price😩😮‍💨

I dont know if it is the way you tested it but to me in this video the Mania doesn't sound good at all. Muddy and unclear. I hope its better in real life and/or that you can alter the way you test to give a better representation. Thanks though

As a Mania owner for its size it pushes the boundaries between the possibile and impossible. as for its size the output is similar to speaker twice or 3 times its size and the details when you hear it is closer to a hifi system than a normal Bluetooth speaker I love it

And also second 😂
