These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Devialet Mania ranks #54 of 117 large speakers by sound quality at $899; the Sonos Play ranks #56 of 178 medium speakers by sound quality at $299.
The case for the Devialet Mania: A compact, good looking Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stereo speaker with Alexa built in and splash resistance. The tradeoff: Not very loud.
The Sonos Play is the longer-running, lighter choice. A Wi-Fi and Bluetooth portable with wide stereo sound, a long lasting swappable battery, waterproofing and full Sonos multiroom support. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 10 for the Devialet Mania. At 2.9 lbs (1.3 kg) it weighs much less than the Devialet Mania at 5.1 lbs (2.3 kg). It is rated IP67 against IPX4 for the Devialet Mania. The tradeoff: Bass distorts noticeably on bass-heavy tracks at default settings, and the distortion persists even after enabling Trueplay tuning and manually pulling bass back in the app.
Buy the Devialet Mania ($899) for a large speaker; the Sonos Play ($299) suits a medium speaker instead.
