I have heard them recently -
Absolute crap sound; Sorry to say that!
Really for people who propose on Facebook.  poo poo
What a pile of poo

Ear piercing, horrendous, disgusting - stay away from it!!

Only useful as party-showpiece!
Looks like a motorbike engine - sounds like one too ...

I heard them briefly at a show.
Conditions weren't all that good.
But I came away impressed what this speaker was able to do in the bass area.
In terms of absolute sound quality I can't give a statement.

I interested in auditioning them as a proper stereo setup. Hope local dealers will stock them soon.

Yeah thats why I was wondering if anyone had heard it in person.  Living in Hawaii I don't get much options to hearing anything but through a video and video doesn't quite make it all that pleasing to hear.

I would at least wait six months and see if they've debugged their software by then.

My general impression is that the engineering behind it is quite solid, that the marketing department went totally overboard, and that we still have to wait for better reviews to have an idea of what they sound like.

Yeah, I'd like to hear some more reviews on it.  If I had the chance to listen to them myself than I could make a decision but I'm willing to wait for that.

I heard them at a show here in Seattle and, I agree, they were  poo.  Bose Lifestyle for the 1%.  Here's my comments about them on CA http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f3-article-comments/article-devialet-unleashes-phantom-22728/index4.html%23post407334
