The vast majority of your time listening to the Mania will probably be when it's connected to Wi-Fi. It's built from a combination of metal and cloth, with a ribbed plastic handle that wraps almost entirely around the speaker and houses all the playback and pairing buttons. But the Mania feels dense and high quality. It stands just under eight inches tall (which includes the handle), making it about the height of the Sonos Roam or UE Boom. The result, at least to me, the Mania seems to have a surprisingly wider soundstage than other similarly-sized speakers. The kicker is that the Mania supports what Devialet is calling Active Stereo Calibration (or ASC), which allows it to play stereo sound in all directions. As a result, it plays sound in all directions and is perfectly suited for being placed in the center of the room.ĭevialet has integrated the Mania with special room-tuning technology that allows it to automatically adjust its sound depending on if it's placed against a wall, in the center of a room or outside it effectively works like Sonos's automatic TruePlay. The Mania is a true 360-degree speaker with a total of six drivers - in addition to the two exposed woofers, there are four full-range aluminum drivers located at the top of the cabinet and hidden beneath the Mania's cloth exterior. (Plus, the Mania sounds way better than your average Alexa speaker.) The difference is that the Mania is portable, so you can carry it from room to room with you. You can request songs, ask trivia questions and set timers just like you can with an Amazon Echo. The Mania supports Amazon Alexa, and can function as a smart speaker when connected to Wi-Fi.
