A PCMag tester finds Sony's Reon Pocket Pro Plus packs clever neck-mounted cooling/heating tech and solid battery life, controllable via buttons or an app with smart mode, but its bulk, visibility, shifting plate, and lack of weatherproofing make it impractical for everyday wear; at $259.99 it's a niche gadget, with a cheaper fan-based alternative like Shark ChillPill recommended for most users.
Sony’s Reon Pocket Pro Plus is arriving in the US as a discreet neck-worn device that cools or heats the upper back from 41 to 104°F via app or onboard controls. It uses a Peltier plate, a fan-assisted cooling system, and a smart mode that auto-adjusts with environmental sensors. Weighing 8.7 oz with up to 15 hours of battery life in cool/smart mode, it costs $260 and aims for quiet, low-profile use; it's pricier than handheld fans like the ChillPill, making it a niche option for those who value discretion over budget or exercise-heavy cooling.
