Short answer: the Soundcore Boom 2. It ranks #10 of 115 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.5/5, at $99.99; the Devialet Mania ranks #52, rated 3.6/5, and costs $899, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Soundcore Boom 2 is the better-sounding, longer-running choice. A light, waterproof large speaker with deep bass for its size, a 24 hour battery and fun lighting. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 10 for the Devialet Mania. At 3.7 lbs (1.68 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Devialet Mania at 5.1 lbs (2.3 kg). It is rated IPX7 against IPX4 for the Devialet Mania. Watch for: Only a single midrange driver, so you only get stereo for the tweeters.
Why pick the Devialet Mania: A compact, good looking Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stereo speaker with Alexa built in and splash resistance. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Soundcore Boom 2 lacks. The tradeoff: Not very loud.
Buy the Soundcore Boom 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.
