Our Verdict

Bose Portable Smart Speaker

Devialet Mania

The Bose Portable Smart Speaker offers better value for most users than the Devialet Mania. Both speakers have portable designs, and each offers built-in voice assistant support. However, the Bose's sound quality is better out of the box, especially in the treble range. It has a better Bluetooth performance with lower latency for watching videos. Its battery life is slightly longer, though neither speaker offers exceptional performance in this regard.

    Whilst BOSE-Loudspeakers are “famous” for distorted and “wummering” Bass-Frequences in Clubs and Discos, thanks to 138 dB Maximum Loudness DEVIALET offers Distortion-free Sound from Bass to glass-clear High frequencies! Forget about this only Marketing-Test here, because it is clearly wrong, false and fake news!
