What reviewers think
Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.
Product Strengths
- Unique, striking design with a rotating center 'orb' that serves as the dedicated center channel speaker
- Impressive bass performance, potentially eliminating the need for a separate subwoofer in smaller rooms
- Good clarity and detail, especially in the midrange, resulting in clear voice reproduction and dialogue
- Delivers a room-filling and expansive soundstage
- Can be wall-mounted or placed on furniture, with acoustic adaptation for each position
Product Considerations
- Overpowering bass can overshadow the midrange and treble, resulting in a messy sound
- Limited physical connection options for its price
- No remote is included; control relies on a mobile app
- Some reviewers find the lack of rear surround sound disappointing
- Lacks DTS:X support
- Some reviewers wish tone controls would be offered
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- The Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3 is more accurate, but lacks the bass output of the Dione
- The Sonos Arc's soundstage is wider and more immersive, and it has more enhancement features
Takeaway: The Dione is a stylish and innovative soundbar that delivers powerful bass and clear audio. It is a good choice for people who want a single, simple unit that sounds great.
What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Our take on the brand
Devialet is a hifi brand that combines analog and digital amplification through their "Analog Digital Hybrid" technology, delivering extremely low distortion in sleek, minimalist speakers. Their signature Phantom speakers use high-pressure lateral drivers to produce ultra-deep bass down to 14 Hz, while their spherical design minimizes sound diffraction for consistent quality regardless of listening position.
