These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The Devialet Mania ranks #54 of 117 large speakers by sound quality at $899; the JBL Authentics 200 ranks #10 of 29 powered desktop speakers by sound quality at $199.95.
The Devialet Mania is the battery-powered, tougher option. A compact, good looking Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stereo speaker with Alexa built in and splash resistance. Its battery is rated for 10 hours, while the JBL Authentics 200 needs an outlet. It is rated IPX4, while the JBL Authentics 200 has no water resistance. The tradeoff: Not very loud.
Why pick the JBL Authentics 200: A retro styled Wi-Fi speaker that plays surprisingly loud and runs Alexa and Google Assistant at the same time. It links with other speakers (Wi-Fi multi-room), which the Devialet Mania cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Devialet Mania lacks. The tradeoff: Bass not as deep as others.
Buy the Devialet Mania at $899 if you want a large speaker. Buy the JBL Authentics 200 at $199.95 if you want a powered desktop speaker instead.
