Our Verdict

Ultimate Ears MEGABLAST

Devialet Mania

The Ultimate Ears MEGABLAST is better for most uses than the Devialet Mania. Both speakers have built-in Alexa support, and while the Devialet does better in noisy environments, both perform pretty well. The Ultimate Ears' battery life is longer, it gets louder, and it has a graphic EQ, meaning you can customize it across the range.
