Observations: Devialet Mania has a much more soothing, emotional and accurate sound without any listening fatigue after long periods of listening. Its sub 30hz deep bass extension is extremely impressive though it’s subtle. JBL Charge 5 has a much more straightforward and crystal clear voice with mid and high bass punch that also sounds extremely good imo. But the bass ever so slightly muddies the mids and highs in rare cases, and just can’t replicate the effortlessness and spatialness of the Devialet, which can sound great at any angle. Charge 5 requires an almost perfect on-axis listening position to sound the best but that’s not the case with the Devialet. Conclusion is that the Devialet is able to reproduce the music almost exactly like how the producer intended it to sound, whereas the Charge 5 adds some sparkle and punch that suits certain bass heavy genres and songs that favour a more U shaped frequency response, like pop, edm etc. Devialet sounds like someone singing and articulating with their lungs and emotion, whereas JBL is like a representation of someone controlling the singing only using their throat but with passion😂😂😂. P.S. Devialet kinda sucks outdoors though, JBL is much better outdoors
It's kinda unrealistic cuz the ch5 is definitely gonna lose, not even in the same class for bass output, u can have listen at my other mania comparisons that have bass with speakers of similar class
