The Devialet Mania is the better-sounding, deeper-bass choice. A compact, good looking Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stereo speaker with Alexa built in and splash resistance. Its bass reaches about 47Hz before falling 10dB, against 55Hz for the Klipsch Detroit. The tradeoff: Not very loud.
The Klipsch Detroit is the longer-running, tougher pick. A rugged, fully waterproof stereo boombox with a long battery, fast USB-C charging, and power bank output. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 10 for the Devialet Mania. It is rated IP67 against IPX4 for the Devialet Mania. It links with other speakers (Broadcast Mode), which the Devialet Mania cannot. Watch for: Weird boosted upper bass, bass not very deep.
Buy the Devialet Mania when sound quality outweighs the price for you, and the Klipsch Detroit when the price outweighs sound quality instead.
