Mania - Portable smart Speaker - High-Fidelity - Light Grey

Price: First off, this is a very expensive speaker! I would say that this speaker should be priced around $600 - $700, but I AM KEEPING it absolutely! Comparison: I did a side by side with my Harmon Kardon Studio 7; which is a great speaker. The Mania made the HK sound thin in regard to the mids and highs. That HK is very focused and directional sounding as well. The bass seemed very muddy in comparison to the Mania as well. Highs and Mids: I was very skeptical about the Mania having full range drivers with no tweeters. The highs are silky smooth which creates this bubble of sound that is breathtaking and very hard to articulate. These full range drivers are next level performance and are not fatiguing and can beautifully present acoustic music, as well as electric guitars with depth and authority. You get full range buttery highs with beautiful midrange that projects voices with clarity and competence! Bass: It will take a couple of hours for the bass to really start to present itself. I am sure that this speaker needs proper break-in time since I have only had this running for about 2 and 1/2 hours. Yes, break-in time is real. The bass has depth and texture which is quite surprising how effortless the Mania does its magic! The bass is absolutely presented with authority and is impressive sounding. The Mania's bass defies physics at times. I placed my Mania on my dresser a bit closer to the back wall. I was just amazed at the entire spectrum of sound that was produced from such a small speaker. I had no idea what I was missing from my music with other speakers. This certainly sounds like a high-end speaker Harmon Kardon Studio 7 vs Mania overall take: FOR SURE! My Harmon Kardon speakers were my go-to for years - and they ARE GREAT speakers!! This Mania is on a completely different level; hands down NO comparison! I am keeping this speaker because listening to music is on a different level now; I did not even know this type of experience existed. I have the Gray Mania, but that color does not show well in the photo. This speaker is amazing, if you can afford it, get it! The sound from this small speaker just does not make sense. I hope this helps someone. This was my present for getting a really good raise at work. Money well spent! I can excuse the high price because it is THAT good. Update - 1-7-2025 - I had to send back the Mania, as I had problems getting it to turn on. I am ordering another speaker to see if mine had a software glitch.. Update - 1-10-2025 Purchased a new speaker in black, and it works great. There was some sort of software issue with the last speaker - absolutely.

One of the best portable speaker for a great soundstage. No compliant, just I can ask for more battery life …

Bass is good,but mid-level leave a lot to be desired. LAcks clarity for then price compared to other Devialet soeakers.

Amazing! Exactly the hi fi I was looking for! Stereophiles will be impressed for a portable. Worth every penny! Warning the battery takes awhile to charge to boot up but once it stays on the stand you are golden for hours.

Best portable bluetooth speaker ever. A close competitor is the jbl boombox wifi which is louder cuz of course its like 6 times the size. For the size it is unbelievable what type of sound it emits. I’m totally happy with my purchase. Can’t wait for the next version perhaps the bass goes even lower than 30hz geez. I’m in awe!! Edit: the first speaker started glitching after 3 months and wouldn’t connect for some odd reason.Fortunately was able to return it. I love the speaker so much i had to reorder another one (sandstorm) this time around i purchased a 3 year protection plan.

Proche de la perfection, un son d’une grande qualité dans toutes les directions En remplacement de son ancêtre Bose
