Competitively priced highend device
Super loud
Powerful bass
Legit audiophile sound from a footprint the size of a toaster. This is the WiFi music system you've been waiting for. It's also the Sonoskiller and the home theater rig you've been waiting for. Free software updates improve performance and stave off obsol

This thing isn't cheap. Goths will be disappointed
The Phantom only comes in one colorwhite. To recreate a true stereo soundstage
Abstract: In December, ultra-high-end brand DEVIALET decided to announce Phantom , a very powerful, yet ultra-compact speaker that brings ultra-premium quality sound at a price that consumers can reach. Roughly speaking, we are talking about sound quality that woul...

Abstract: The Devialet Phantom's been around a while, but the Apple Store in the US has recently started selling the basic-but-still-very-expensive version of the speaker. Fans will be tempted, but you never want to buy something just because it's in the Apple Stor...
Abstract: After likening its first Phantom speaker to a bomb, Devialet has kept the explosion theme for its latest wireless music product -- the Phantom Reactor. Like its larger brethren, the Reactor is a highly pressurized capsule said to deliver stunningly deep...

Outlandish yet wonderful design, exceptional sound and clarity, huge volume, Spark system works seamlessly between devices on Wi-Fi network, multi-room capable
Think the Silver/standard models look better, laborious setup process, need a pair for best sound, expensive, no EQ in Spark, do you really need this many Watts of power
That's the thing about the Devialet Gold Phantom: for most people the slightly more affordable and lower-spec models in range will make better sense. And we think the silver and white finishes actually look better than the Gold's coppery-gold side panelli...
Pure and lyrical upper register, Best-in-class bass response, Thrilling dynamic expression, Powerful, distortion free sound, Clear and wonderfully present detail
Volume control not granular enough, Heavy as a rock
As promised, Devialet's Phantom sets a new milestone in wireless multiroom audio. Whether it's rendering earth-shaking bass or putting a soft touch on the finest of details, the speaker is an industry leader in almost every category — including price...
Despite the lifestyle branding, the Silver Phantom is a genuine hi-fi proposition that's firmly rooted in high-end audio. What's more, as a complete music system that comes fully loaded with Devialet's latest technology and wi-fi streaming to boot, it's a...
Huge sound for its size, Rhythmically good fun, Innovative technology,
Lacks some subtlety,
So why isn't this a five-star product? It is the best sound we've heard from a wireless speaker - bolder, bigger and louder than its size would suggest - but compared to the What Hi-Fi? Award-winning Naim Mu-so, we just want more from that extra £800 outl...
So, is the Phantom worth its money? Of course not. Its asking price of £1,390 is extremely high, and its mono output means owners must pay a laughable £3,000-plus for stereo sound. However, it's obvious from its looks alone that the Phantom isn't about va...
Abstract: I'm not sure it has done quite that, but Phantom makes a unique and magnificent sound more punchy and emotional than anything else I've heard. Devialet is so excited about the system it describes it not as an active loudspeaker but an Implosive Sound Cent...
