sounds fine to me. you should probably blame UA-cam since everything uploaded to their sites, as well as all the other streaming platforms, compress the hell out of everyone's content to match their (ever-changing) criteria. Last I checked, best way around this is to Master your tracks to -14LUFS, but apparently that's changed to -16now. Blame UA-cam (or maybe upgrade your speakerd)
This just popped up on my feed, and all I can think of is WOW thats probably the best portable speaker in 2022. Will certainly get one for my grill sessions
6:50 are you sure about the ability to pair with another speaker for a TRUE STEREO? I can't seem to find any info on this. Also I think you might have missed the fact that is BT5 which is pretty outdated even by 2022 standards, especially for a high end audio product
How would the bass compare to something a lot bigger like a Partybox 110? I know they are not really comparible to each other but i want to sell my partybox and buy this one.
It’s not as boomy, but it’s 100% cleaner as it’s from a premium audio brand, it’s not a “party” spesker. I have the Boombox 2 and it’s very boomy bass, the mania plays much lower and cleaner, thanks to properly powered woofers!
Compared to phantom ii there are a few differences. The phantom ii is the same volume (95db) unless you go for the 98DB phantom ii… however the bass on the phantom ii plays a little lower, 18hz compared to 30hz on the Mania, and it does have a little more prominence as the woofers on the phantom ii are larger in surface area 😁
@@techpulseYT So more portable but less bass? is it like a lot less? I love the bass on the original, I dont really want to compromise. But on the odd occassion that I want to take it with me it would be nice. It would for sure be the exception though, is it a big compromise in sound quility / bass ?
@@vakuzar not a dramatic amount less!! The bass it just fuller because of the larger woofers, with more power. They physically move more air! The mania is certainly impressive
I want a bluetooth speaker that will sound for listining to jazz. I want to hear as if I am on a live jazz bar with the band playing, I use a Bose flex which is not bad, but what do you think would sound much better? (I will only use on my living room not outdoors) Thanks.
100% the Mania! I’ve had a few Bose Portables and they’re great little speakers but the Mania is a whole different league, it’ll add really warm fullness to your Jazz music!
@@Trojanischer_Esel Unfortunately, you can't set them up as a stereo pair (as dedicated left & right speaker) but you can pair them and use them simultaneously through AirPlay 2.
devialet is top by its sound but .... 3200 mAh battery charging 3! hours and you even dare to call it fast charge? 🤣😂 ... like I remember my old samsung phone with similar battery capacity being recharged in 1,5 hour top and that was only just the beginning of the fast charging era 5 years ago 😂
Hi, i like your review very much. One tiny question do i have. is it confirmed that we can pair to of them for a stereo setup for sure? i read something different. Thanks a lot 😉👍
no pairing on this Mania model, because it is already a "stereo" product in itself. (and also because Devialet needs you to invest in their phantoms ... and true quality stereo is a good product range upgrade justification). :)
Nothing about its sound capabilites - only its tech features. Typical of those who dont care about music, only care about latest tech. Facepalm........
Wait what ive bee nwaiting for something like this for a while. So to clarify i have google assistant in the house with multiple speakers. Cant use google assistant...i can use a chromecast audio to sort that then, wait there is no analog 3.5mm input. Thats fine i can at least use chromecast and throw it over.. Wait what? no chromecast built in? seriously how pathetic. Now all new smart devices are all becoming cross platform and this doesnt even have google. Im out.
Devialet is a dishonest company! The bass somehow goes down to 30Hz but without db rating, this info means nothing! More importantly, all I see is ads (No reviews). Nice ad for devialet, now the company needs to man up and send this speaker to a couple of reputable audio reviewers.
Disposable item! built in unremovable fixed battery: means after 2 years it goes directly to trashcan! Another expensive usa-and-discard disposable item like a Bic razor, what a shame!
I was half expecting a side-by-side comparison with the Phantom 2 (I'd love to see that) ... love this video, really informative
bro who remembers that one Devialet speaker video from Unbox Therapy a few years ago??? I miss those days
Quick tip: balance your stereo image on your videos ;) You're called 'Premium Sound' right?

i think the lavalier mic is panned hard right
Yea, you are right
Dude.. as soon as I heard the video I was saying all of that as well.
What an amazing product!! Devialet really know how to please audio lovers, true passion for music 🤩
The bluetooth speaker ive been waiting for!
Great review, thanks 🙌🏼
😂 i’m french and when tout say « opera de paris »
Nice review. Keep going for another review. 🎉
I don't know this speaker sound good or not but your video is good. Also good editing. Good job, keep it going.
Excellent B-roll!

Looks like something that is finally comparable with Vifa speakers...
Can justify paying for the Phantom but for a portable this feels a bit too expensive
Just ordered a "Ópera de Paris"!
Only 800 subscribers?? You, sir, deserve at least 800.000!! Greetings from Lisbon, Portugal.
Nice video. Thank you from France.
Mania is a lovely speaker with high-tec design.
Awaiting for a bigger Mania for my house.
Hoping it will come.
Check devialet Gold
@@jack09101 no I want the Mania's design in large without handle.
don't hold ur breath
Well that’s Xmas presents sorted! 🎉 Great video, can’t wait to get one of these for myself too ❤

How much?
Wait, how many watts?
4x 25w full range drivers and 2x38w woofers

That is not the phantom 2. It's next to it is the reactor. How do you not know that?
The Phantom 2 and Reactor are the same thing… Devialet changed the naming a few years ago to Phantom 1 and 2, instead of Premier and Reactor
What's the name of the song in the sound test?
Safely - Homebody
That sounds really goos on my formation wedge…
Well presented.
Great review. It looks an impressive speaker for the money. You didn't mention the price of the charging station.
Thanks for the comment! Devialet Mania Station retails for £69.
Thank you. That's useful to know.@@premiumsounduk
Two of those in my living room is all I need
It is not possible to set them up as a stereo pair though. As far as I understand this feature is limited to the Phantom speakers
@@Trojanischer_Esel you can pair these in a stereo pair 🤩😁
@@techpulseYT no you cant devialet told another reviewer above this video that is can't.
@@Trojanischer_Esel Unfortunately, you can't set them up as a stereo pair (as dedicated left & right speaker) but you can pair them and use them simultaneously through AirPlay 2.
The bass is powerfull but the sound quality is a bit muffled, more like mp3 ,for that price they should offer better codec APTX HD or LDAC .

Just keep it plugged to an external battery… easy
Did they specify the voltage anywhere? Without that, mAh is quite a useless measurement. We would have needed watthours.
Just get a altec if you worried about battery life
Can be paired in stereo with two of it ?
You can't set them up as a stereo pair (as dedicated left & right speaker) but you can pair them and use them simultaneously through AirPlay 2.
@@premiumsounduk that's not what you said in the video, your words "for a true stereo sound stage"
Harry ...its 24 ct gold LEAF (not LEAFS)....you say the "bag has a soft premium feel "....a lot like yourself 😅😅😅
Nothing works better against woofer and two speakers 2.1 system.. talking about Logitech z623.
Maybe next time they can improve, upgrade the battery capacity (mAh) 😊

Is this a review or an ad
The design for me is so so.
Jesus, how many people did devialet pay to promote this.
Price point is way too high for what you get.
New game take a shot every time they say devialet😈
3200mah wth devialet
Look my jbl charge 3 has 6k mah

Honestly do you think that Beosound outshine Mania?
@@jamielee5642 Which Beosound?! The A5 definitely outshines the Mania but it is larger.
@@jamielee5642 The Beosound A5 is definitely better sounding. However, the Mania is more portable.
muy pequeña esa webada para ser tan cara

I have to agree here. I have a pair of Devialet Phantoms that I love, but at least the Sonos Move has an option to replace the battery!!
I have to retract my reply. Devialet confirmed the battery is replaceable, not by the end user, but the company will be able to replace the battery.
Can paring 2 mania with app devialet?
You can play 2 at the same time via a multiroom setup, but you cannot pair 2 into a dedicated left and right channel stereo pair!
