Thrill Your Neck with Sony's Reon Pocket 5 Pro: No More Sweaty Towels, Cool Down on the Go!
Wearing air conditioning units around the neck was a recent trend.
By Klaus Wedekind
Facing those scorching summer days? Fret not! Sony's Reon Pocket 5 Pro, the portable air conditioner for your neck, is here to make your life a breeze. Don't let the blazing heat ruin your day; this neck gadget cools you down without any hassle. And guess what? It shines even in winter, making it a must-have year-round companion.
A Little Drone for Your Neck: The Reon Pocket 5 Pro
Weighing a mere 250 grams, this device resembles a mini drone without propellers and is designed to fit comfortably beneath your clothing. Created for both hot and cold days, the Reon Pocket 5 Pro ensures you stay cozy in any weather.
Worn with a flexible neck bracket, the device accommodates two thermo modules for efficient cooling or heating. Excess heat is dissipated through a fan, while air intake is drawn from the bottom for added coolness. For added convenience, controls can be operated manually or via an accompanying app.
Smart or Manual: Pick Your Chill
The Reon Pocket 5 Pro offers two options: manual or smart temperature regulation. You can adjust the temperature manually or let the device's smart system take over, utilizing sensors that measure body and air temperature, as well as air humidity. A wear detection feature automatically starts and pauses the device based on whether it's on or off your person.
In the box, you'll find a small tag to attach to your clothing or handbag for environment monitoring. This tag also includes a motion sensor for activity detection and a light sensor to pick up on direct sunlight or bag placement. With this added tag, the temperature control becomes accurate under a wide range of conditions.
Securing the Perfect Fit
For optimal performance, proper fitting is essential. The holding bracket can be adjusted for comfort and support, though finding the perfect fit may take some time, especially for those with prominent spinal processes. With minimal adjustments, the Reon Pocket 5 Pro delivers a pleasant and cool sensation on your skin within seconds.
Smart Automation at Its Best
The automatic feature truly shines in testing, offering cooling and heating capabilities, or a combination of both. Upon first glance, this might seem counterintuitive, but think about those sweltering office environments on hot summer days – the automatic setting can be a game-changer. The feature also reliably prevents overheating and neck strain.
Despite its proximity to the ears, the device usually produces an only occasional soft hum – even at maximum power. You can set five different temperature targets, which in addition to temperature and humidity, determines the device's battery life.
Marvelous Battery Life and Rechargeable Capability
In practical testing, the Reon Pocket 5 Pro's battery life surprised many, consistently running for over eight hours in automatic mode on hot days. On lower settings, the device's battery can last for up to 34 hours, whereas at maximum power, Sony estimates about 5.5 hours. An empty battery takes approximately 200 minutes to recharge, though you can extend runtime by connecting an external power bank.
Cost-Effective Well-Being
At a price point of around 230 euros, the Reon Pocket 5 Pro isn't your ordinary budget buy, but for frequent outdoor enthusiasts or those working in non-air-conditioned spaces, it can be a worthwhile investment. And the best part? It provides year-round comfort, not just during the summer months.
