Sweating through the heat? Sony's Reon Pocket 5 Pro is here to your rescue! No more blasting AC or drenching yourself in cold water, this portable neck air conditioner's got your back... or rather, your neck!
Wearable Air Conditioning Units for Necks: A New Trend
As temperatures climb above 30 degrees like last weekend, keeping cool becomes a real struggle. But the new Reon Pocket 5 Pro, from Sony, takes an age-old solution – cooling the neck – and gives it a modern, efficient twist! This nifty device is perfect for those hot summer days when you're heading to the office or just lounging around at home.
This ain't no cumbersome cooler
Weighing in at just under 250 grams, the Reon Pocket 5 Pro looks more like a drone without propellers than a bulky cooling device. It's protected against splash water and sweat, and is worn with a flexible neck band, so it won't slip off or get in your way. The metal plate inside the curved inner casing houses two thermo modules, and the top has a fan for heat dissipation.
The device comes with two nozzles, one short for T-shirts and the other long enough to extend over shirt collars. It sucks in air from the bottom, adding an extra cooling effect to keep you comfortable in more ways than one! And, if you're into tech-savvy gadgets, you'll love that the Reon Pocket 5 Pro can be controlled via an accompanying app, making it a breeze to adjust your cooling preferences on the fly.
Smart and manual mode, yours to choose
The Sony Reon Pocket 5 Pro isn't all about robotics; you've also got the option to manually adjust your temperature settings. But, for those who prefer to leave the complexities to the machine, the device is equipped with a smart automatic system. This smarty-pants uses sensors to measure body and air temperature, as well as air humidity, and adjust the cooling accordingly.
If you're adventurous and athletic, there's even a wear detection feature that automatically starts and pauses the device when you put it on or take it off. To refine your air quality experience even more, a small tag can be attached to your clothing or handbag to measure temperature and air humidity more precisely. It's got a motion sensor to detect physical activity and a light sensor to register direct sunlight or when the tag is in a bag, ensuring the temperature regulation works precisely under varied conditions.
Fitting like a glove
For the Reon Pocket 5 Pro to work at its best, a custom fit is essential. you can bend and/or shorten the holding band as needed by removing the extensions, allowing it to contour to your neck more easily. Finding the perfect fit may take some trial and error, but once you do, the curved steel plate sits almost completely on your skin, providing instant relief from the heat.
While the Reon Pocket 5 Pro fits well on slightly better-padded people, it can be trickier for those with prominent spinal processes. In this case, wearing it slightly offset to the side might offer a more comfortable fit.
Smart, quiet and reliable
The Reon Pocket 5 Pro's automatic feature proved a real winner in our testing. It can switch between cooling and heating modes, or run them simultaneously. This might sound odd, but think of those times when you've entered an overly air-conditioned office on a hot summer day! The automatic feature also prevents overheating and stiff necks, ensuring you stay comfortable and relaxed.
Though the smartest automatic system can't predict your ideal temperature preferences, you can preset five different target settings, ranging from weak to strong. This setting also determines the battery life, with the higher setting providing a shorter duration.
Without a doubt, the Reon Pocket 5 Pro is an impressive piece of tech. It fits like a glove, keeps your neck cool and comfortable, and is quiet enough for a power nap! And the automatic feature? It's genius – ideal for cooling off during outdoor workouts or in overly air-conditioned offices.
Power up wherever you are
The battery life on the Reon Pocket 5 Pro just blew our minds! Even on a sweltering day when temperatures were well over 30 degrees, the device lasted an impressive 8 hours on smart mode. If you're more active or require higher power, you'll be able to get around 5.5 hours of use.
In settings where the temperature is lower, you can expect the battery to last between 5.5 and 10 hours while heating, and up to 34 hours on low cooling. Amazingly, an empty battery takes just 200 minutes to fully charge. In an emergency, you can extend the run time by connecting an external power bank to the Reon Pocket 5 Pro.
In a nutshell
It quickly becomes apparent that the Reon Pocket 5 Pro is a well-designed device, thoughtfully engineered for comfortable, efficient use. The 230 euro price tag might seem steep, but consider the relief it offers on hot summer days or during commuting, and it just might pay for itself.
So, don't suffer through the heat any longer – bust out that Reon Pocket 5 Pro and cool off in style!
