Sony refines neck-worn cooling with Reon Pocket Pro Plus upgrade
Sony unveils the Reon Pocket Pro Plus, a refined wearable personal air conditioner that sits around the neck and cools via a chilled metal plate pressed to the skin. The upgrade adds a 2°C cooler plate surface, an improved cooling algorithm yielding about 20% more cooling, a redesigned exhaust vent for adjustable airflow, and a smaller Reon Pocket Tag 2 sensor for more accurate temperature and humidity readings. It will launch in Europe and other markets for €229/£199 (about $270), with no announced US release.
