Our Verdict
Bose Portable Smart Speaker
Devialet Mania
The Bose Portable Smart Speaker is a better value for most users compared to the Devialet Mania. Both speakers have portable designs, and they each offer 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 a bit longer, although 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!
