Short answer: the Soundcore Rave Neo 2. It ranks #21 of 115 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $84.99; the Devialet Mania ranks #52, rated 3.6/5, and costs $899, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Devialet Mania is the lighter pick. A compact, good looking Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stereo speaker with Alexa built in and splash resistance. At 5.1 lbs (2.3 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Soundcore Rave Neo 2 at 7.9 lbs (3.6 kg). The tradeoff: Not very loud.
The Soundcore Rave Neo 2 is the better-sounding, longer-running option. An affordable waterproof party speaker with loud output, solid bass, a long battery, lights and linking with many speakers. It is rated for 18 hours of battery against 10 for the Devialet Mania. It is rated IPX7 against IPX4 for the Devialet Mania. It links with other speakers (PartyCast 2.0 up to 100 speakers), which the Devialet Mania cannot. Watch for: Slight treble rolloff.
Buy the Soundcore Rave Neo 2. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Devialet Mania and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
