Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 vs Devialet Mania 

I think the concept is different. The harman is a front firing speaker and sounds best when sitting in front of it. The mania tries to go for a 360 degree sound. It works better from multiple angles but has a rather diffuse sound and no real sweetspot. It's a compromise and a?different approach. But in that comparison in the recording the harman wins, hands down. The mids are a lot more direct and clearer and not as diffused.

Seems like the Mania's low end is more defined than the Onyx! And I must say that it's impressive as I have the Onyx and it's an amazing speaker. Very linear, very well balanced with amazing Mids. But the low end response of the devialet seems to bring another dimension on the table

Thx for the excellent reviews....

I’m going to get the Mania , thanks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🙏

I have this speaker thanks to you and i know it may sound stupid but if youre a listener do not put the speaker facing you instead turn the speaker so either the left or right side is facing you, so both the 3 inch subwoofers are facing left and right and stand up if you place it on a table 3 feet away from the speaker and congrats you have found the sweet spot so when recording the speaker i would place the mics a bit higher up because the 4 full range speakers are facing upwards it gives the image that the devialet mania is really bugger then it actually is, its like taking a flashlight in the darkest room and putting it on top of the ceiling facing directly downwards the flashlight covers a wider area, same principle with this

I haven't found a better speaker than the Harmon Kardon onyx since the 1st two that came out. I'm still rocking my Harmon Kardon onyx 2.. Still sounds great compared to all the other old speakers that's either blown out or broken. It'll Definitely last longer than other speakers specially wit me blasting my Harmon Kardon onyx 2.

As a Mania owner for its size it pushes the boundaries between the possibile and impossible. as for its size the output is similar to speaker twice or 3 times its size and the details when you hear it is closer to a hifi system than a normal Bluetooth speaker I love it

Could you upload more videos with the sound of Mania, try the songs by Mark Allow! You're going to love it

Hi What about the Harman Kardon Allure Portable speaker? Is it still available for sale? And How comparable is with the Onix 6? Regarding your problem with your Mania speaker, without knowing anything about the device itself, I can suggest you to factory reset the unit or call Debialet to see if being under warranty, maybe it would be best to ask for a replacement, let’s see how you get on. All the best buddy 😄

Mania sounds slightly more premium and it somehow makes me think that I'm listening to virtual speakers that are located in the corners of the room rather that coming directly out from the speaker. Like wow 🤯

Great review; I wish I had the name of the songs your playing!

Will you be comparing the most expensive soundbar from Bang and Oulfsen 8300 to the new Nakamichi Dragon sound system that is 11.4.6 with 3000 watts?

its not a software issue, its the hardware inside thats buggin out or struggle to proces connecting, cause their ram memmory is very low ..

I got a Mania and a Onyx 7, and the difference between these is that after about 75% volume the Onyx loses bass. The highs and mids are great but the bass thins out. While the Mania will give you that bass at all volume range. Also once you go past like 80% the onyx doesn't really get any louder while the Mania does.

The closing statement says it all .. 13:07

Both are amazing sounding speakers. I just wish the HK looked less like a purse. The look is not my kind of style. Just my opinion. Great video!

Hello, I had H K Onyx 1, then I had Bowers and Wilkins Zepellin and now I have NAIM mu-so first generation at home and I am wondering your opinion on Devialet mania if I would not get offended? I'm lacking space with the Naim. Thank you for your opinion Roman

Hey btw what do you think about Bang Olufsen Beolit 20? 🤔 What does it sound like? How deep is the bass? I wanna know how good it is. 🥺

What are your thoughts on the mania after owning for over a year?

I believe if you disable Alexa on the Mania, popping noise goes away. Someone let me know if this helps. ✅🍿

Hey man! Been watching a load of your videos and I really like the 'vibes' for a lack of a better term lol I have one question about the Mania: a lot of people are raving about the bass performance, and obviously that kind of thing does not come through properly on video. So is it really that good? Devialet says it can go all the way down to 30 Hz, does that seem realistic? Rtings measured it to start dropping off hard at about 50 Hz. And can you really feel the bass? I'm seriously considering getting one!

The Harman sounds a lot better, clearer, punchier and more spacious. Maybe the Devialet would sound better against a wall as I think it's designed to reflect sound to increase stereo width and bass. Could you do a sound test against a wall?

Why does the Mania make those noises when switching from one speaker to another?

Studio 6 sounds better, but its impressive how the mania being so small can have such sound. The mania does have a better attack response, probably because it has more power. Still the harman Kardon is probably the best 200 bucks bluetooth speaker on the market, lets not forget the devialet costs 800 bucks...

Harmon Kardon for me

beosound level vs devialet mania whoud be intresting

im playing this on a devialet phantom 2 98db and i hear more deeper base on the mania

Witch one of this two plays deeper in person? And have more of a subwoofer like bass?

I think the clear winner here is the Harman Kardon. At 7 times the price the Devialet Mania 'premium' just isn't justified

You're playing on Bluetooth this time?

Listening to this on my Genelec studio speakers, the Mania sounds very muffled, like you are listening to it from another room. I skipped ahead and heard the Mania first and thought "oh well, we're not going to get much from this, the audio sounds pretty bad. I was hugely surprised to hear how much better things got when he switched to the Onyx. Yes, there is definitely more width in the Devialet speaker but there too much missing in the mids for the Mania to sound any good. It's not as obvious with the second track but the sound is still noticeably worse. If they were the same price, the Onyx would be a no brainer but for one-third the price, I can't imagine why anyone would buy the Mania, except for the fact it looks like a prop from Star Trek.

Flat eq?

Devialet Mania is good speaker, but Harman Cardon in this compare sounds is better. I compared my Harman Cardon Onyx 6 with Huawei Sound X speaker, which is also related to Devialet company and again Harmon Cardon sound is mutch better

The mania literally takes 30 seconds to turn on. It's like you're waiting and you're thinking that it's broken!

Nice

Bowers and Wilkins ❤️

For it size and for the sound it produces the mania is great no question about that. However 790$ is a hell no for me ,wayy to many speakers that can blow this away for that price. Also as far as futures The is the Harman Kardon Citation 200 for 130$ futures Google assistant,Apple Airplay 1 sadly not 2 and it comes with the charging cradle. I'm in process of getting a exchange as my first unit had a defect but the sound isn't too different from the studio 6 it's only around a decibel quieter

The video completly misses the form factor. Even the bass between these speakers is just comparable: The Mania is a absolute sensation. HK = 10l volume, Mania =4,5l volume.

Have you compared it against the Beloit 17 or 20 already?

Beosound A1 2nd gen still the best.

Think about the value for money, the Mania is a lot more expensive than the Onyx 😬

I just received the mania..... It sounds good but I think everybody's going to be disappointed by the price. It just doesn't get loud enough. This should be half the price.

Why don’t any of you guys play real music in the demos?

The HK has much clearer sound.

Mania is missing a lot of midrange hete

Harman Kardon sounds MUCH better to my ears.

The HK speaker has more low end and the onyx has a balanced sound Id go for the onyx. Also the HK sounds a bit distorted

Onyx wins hands down A for effort for devialet

Onyx 6.

Mania is not worth the price. Just the bass responce.

harman kardon verry better

Devialet Mania - I don't like Devialet at the best of times, but the Devialet Mania is abysmal, especially given the price

Using your video, I compare blind test. The bass is about the same, Onyx has slightly deeper and more powerful bass.

Devialet sounds better but almost unnoticeable, like if the Studio6 is 80% great the Devialet will be around 82% great. But people.... why will you say "Im getting the Devialet".... are you not even considering the price? Devialet cost 1200 canadian dollars while you can get the Studio6 now for 160 CAD (i just got mine)... Dont tell me you guys are willing to pay and extra 1040 CAD for the extra 2% greatness! HK Studio6 for me all the way, I can buy 8 Studio6 with the same money you buying 1 Devialet and if you hook all those 8 Studio6 together and play them Im sure it'll blow the 1 Divialet into outer space ; )

Yeah you can't even pair the mania... They dropped the ball on this shit. Especially not having support for Chromecast

You are playing this speaker wrong. The woofers should be facing sideways. That is wrong way you are playing it.

Its too expensive Mania , i have 2 harman kardon onyx studio 6 and belive me , i have 2 and the price for bout is 450€ , to buy 2 Mania is 2000€ , wtf . I see mania live and is 3 time biger then apple homepod . The realy god price for Mania is maxim 400€ for Mania simple and 500€ for Mania Opera .And this Mania is soud badly , more low frecvencie , hi fricvencie i dont heare , the bass is not sow good like HK Onix 6 .

Harmon sounds better

Обе детские игрушки!

Hello. 🙂 Can you please buy JBL Boombox 3 and Devialet Phantom I. Make a video about JBL Boombox 3 vs Devialet Phantom 1 108 model. 🥺 No other RU-vidr has made a video about the two and it is soo lame! I wanna show the JBL Fanboys that Devialet Phantom 1 is alot better than JBL Boombox 3! Because they don't understand! They say there is no better JBL Boombox 3 sized speakers??? 😂 Devialet Phantom 1: "Let me introduce my self😊." It is similar in size and absolutely destroys JBL Boombox 3! 😂

чувак, восновном уже лет как 5 все слушают рэп и трэп. ты включил нелепые мелодии для раскрытия потенциала этих колонок.

Ooooo😮😮😮 Harman kardan ❤❤
