### 3/5 — Latest Update a Step Backwards

*2026-08-10, version 1.27*

While Devialet's app is a major improvement over the old Spark system, the latest update, which got rid of the check for updates function is a major step backwards.  I don't trust automatic updates especially when there is no way to check whether they worked.  

Come on Devialet you are better than this!

### 3/5 — Needs more functionality

*2026-08-04, version 1.26.1*

Why does this app only communicate via WiFi. A bit shortsighted on the part of the developers. Do better.

### 2/5 — Software

*2026-07-25, version 1.26.1*

i am waiting for new software update though the existing one is good enough, updates keep the excitement on

### 2/5 — WiFi pairing sucks

*2026-07-16, version 1.26.1*

I’ve tried for two days to get these speakers to pair with my WiFi with no success and can’t even get someone to call.  Every time I reset nothing works.

### 2/5 — No equalizer option

*2026-06-21, version 1.26.1*

I like the sound but sadly no equalizer setting

### 2/5 — Great sound patchy software

*2026-06-05, version 1.26.1*

Always loved the  sound of Devialet but over many years of ownership this company just don’t seem to have got to grips with the WiFi. Since the rise and fall of the dialogue and continuous upgrades it has never been a pleasant experience. Hard wired or unwired you never know when a problem will occur and support don’t have the answers. This upgrade to the software looks better but once again I was faced with awful echos when running in stereo and I almost gave up on a resolution when by chance one of my speakers which had upgraded regressed back to its former version, which once upgraded thankfully resolved the problem. All you get from support is a plethora of questions about WiFi settings and it just feels like a blame game. Thing is all my other cheap devices seem to work no problem. Apple HomePods which are totally inferior  sound wise and a fraction of the price just work is stereo no problem. Perhaps newer speakers have solved the problem but I won’t be spending that money again  to resolve a basic WiFi issue. Used to own six phantoms, now I just have two. Have enjoyed the sound and the investment has been good as I got most of my money back when I sold, but the app and connectivity has been a pain over the years and his is no exception.

### 3/5 — Very good !

*2026-06-01, version 1.26.1*

使い方が悪いのか？再設定を求める。 こちらが要求した画面がでにくい。 それらの事に対する説明が不十分。 良い装置であるだけにソフトの使いにくさ は不満。

### 1/5 — Firmware updates don’t work. Can’t remove old products. Ugh

*2026-05-05, version 1.26.1*

Firmware updates don’t work. Can’t remove old products. Ugh

### 1/5 — Useless when help needed

*2026-04-30, version 1.26.1*

The help function in the app is a chatbot that doesn’t even remotely address the issues encountered when information is provided. The human who contacted me subsequently didn’t even bother to read the case i filed via the app and even replied to me in a foreign language. app is lousy and customer service is even worse. All that flashy advertising cannot save poor service and non-repairability issue.

### 1/5 — The app bricked my $900 speaker

*2026-04-28, version 1.26.1*

After an app prompted speaker update my speaker got bricked. No way to rescue without circuit replacement. The support refuses to claim responsibility and asks for a $400 repair.

### 1/5 — password reset

*2026-04-27, version 1.26.1*

the password reset is the worst

### 1/5 — Garbage Product. Don’t buy

*2026-08-22, version 1.27*

It’s a speaker right? Why does it need my location to set up?

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-08-15, version 1.27*

Great speaker if you can turn it on.

### 1/5 — Worthless for problem resolution

*2026-07-08, version 1.26.1*

Any time I have problems with my $8,000 Devialet WiFi speakers, the app is useless. It happens every month or two, and I have to call an expensive home audio e pert to come to my house to get the stupid speakers working again. I wish I’d never purchased these.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-07-08, version 1.26.1*

Too many Errors

### 1/5 — I don’t understand

*2026-06-05, version 1.26.1*

It connects from time to time and from time to time not. Just a nightmare for premium product.

### 1/5 — Speaker Connection Failure

*2026-06-01, version 1.26.1*

App fails intermittently to  stay connected with speaker

### 1/5 — 很差，經常連接上

*2026-05-29, version 1.26.1*

很貴的設備，卻配一個垃圾軟件，經常連不上。

### 1/5 — Не подключается колонка

*2026-05-20, version 1.26.1*

Скачал приложение прошел авторизацию определилась колонка подключилась к вайфаю и дальше самое интересное пытается соединиться с сервером ну соединение не проходит смотрел по роутеру она отправляет пакет данных на запрос для скачивания авторизации а вот не получает никаких данных дальше пишет отсутствует интернет ну и никакого результата.

### 1/5 — Speakers good

*2026-05-19, version 1.26.1*

Not good

### 1/5 — App needs some work!!!

*2026-05-11, version 1.26.1*

The app is extremely basic and controls very little on my Dione sound bar. It has the ability to power off the unit, but will not turn it on. There are no controls that allow for any equalization on a base heavy speaker. The app is basically a volume control for the sound bar and allows for very basic functionality. They could take a lesson from the Bang & Olufsen sound bar app.

### 5/5 — Calidad

*2026-07-21, version 1.26.1*

Excelente calidad en sonido bajos profundos y claros, voy a comprar otro hacer el estéreo

### 5/5 — Recent App Update

*2026-07-13, version 1.26.1*

Best App with simple controls to control what you’d like. Bought the Devialet Phantom 1 (Dark Chrome) back in 2023 and never used the app because it just wasn’t there. There wasn’t anything I liked but now I’m able to add extra db for low’s and high’s and also control latency! Best update you’ve had! Please don’t change it

### 5/5 — Application not clear

*2026-07-11, version 1.26.1*

It is not easy to apply required steps

### 5/5 — Kimo

*2026-07-07, version 1.26.1*

Perfect

### 5/5 — No Problem Up To Now For 2 Years...

*2026-06-21, version 1.26.1*

;)

### 5/5 — 完美

*2026-06-04, version 1.26.1*

功能越来越好，控制精准，非常满意👍

### 5/5 — Rất tuyệt

*2026-05-10, version 1.26.1*

Hết nước chấm

### 5/5 — Much improved

*2026-05-02, version 1.26.1*

Since my 1 star in 2023 it’s much improved, only wish you could turn it on as well as off.

Plus don’t seem to have had any updates for a while

### 5/5 — Phantom 1 firmware updates and the Ultimate speakers

*2026-05-01, version 1.26.1*

I bought into the original Phantoms when they first arrived on the market and elected, later on,  to take advantage of the upgrade program. That was a huge leap forward. The same can be said of the firmware upgrades - each has delivered a significant increase in sonic quality. Having downsized from a large house to a smaller apartment, I can no longer enjoy a dedicated music room, walls of CD’s and LP’s and box after box of the paraphernalia necessary for what I considered mandatory to achieve hi fi sound. So, I now rely on streaming - Qobuz to be specific, aided by Roon and I don’t feel at a sonic loss, at all, with my ultra space efficient Phantoms. My musical experience is getting better with each iteration. 
I also note that, for me, the stellar sonic performance is a function of networking the setup.
And,  we now  have a new speaker to consider. I didn’t think Devialet would be able   to top what’s already sonically achieved .
Bugger me if they didn’t top themselves. The best sound I have ever heard comes from the latest speaker iteration- the Ultimate, in stereo of course. And I have over 50 years of listening experience (no, I am not shy of hearing).

### 5/5 — Well Designed and Intuitive

*2026-04-13, version 1.26*

I’m impressed with the features the Devialet app offers and how intuitive it is to use. You can tell thought went into it, and being able to quickly toggle features and adjust volume or EQ settings is super convenient. Design is clean and not cluttered, yet robust in offerings. I did experience one bug where the app was stuck on “Connecting” during setup of a Phantom Ultimate and I had to restart my phone to clear the error.
