Short answer: the Soundcore Motion X500. It ranks #27 of 120 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.1/5, at $99.99; the Devialet Mania ranks #55, rated 3.6/5, and costs $899, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
The Soundcore Motion X500 is the better-sounding, tougher choice. A compact, waterproof stereo speaker with good sound and solid build for the money. It is rated IPX7 against IPX4 for the Devialet Mania. It supports LDAC Bluetooth, which the Devialet Mania lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Devialet Mania lacks. The tradeoff: A little bright on top, a custom EQ can flatten things out a bit.
What the Devialet Mania does well: A compact, good looking Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stereo speaker with Alexa built in and splash resistance. The catch: Not very loud.
Buy the Soundcore Motion X500. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Devialet Mania and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
