ForbesiPhone 18 Pro And iPhone 18 Pro Max Release Date: Apple\u2019s Event Timeline Signals Exact DayBy David Phelan<\/a><\/p>\nWhile portable fans are convenient and useful, Sony\u2019s latest Reon is fully wearable. It has a neckband to hold the main part of the device firmly in place on the nape of your neck. The rear plate of solid metal cools the back of your neck, which has the effect of cooling the rest of you down, too.<\/p>\n
Where a fan moves air around, this directly cools the skin and, because it\u2019s perched on your shoulders, it means your hands are completely free to do whatever it is you\u2019re doing. <\/p>\n
The Reon Pocket Pro Plus sits under your clothing \u2014 well, almost. Although people likely won\u2019t notice it\u2019s there, a bit of it is visible as there\u2019s a vent which directs the warmth it\u2019s drawn from your body away from you. If you\u2019re wearing a collared shirt there\u2019s an extension which pokes out further, funneling the warm air away from you. <\/p>\n
Sony Reon Pocket Pro Plus: The Tag<\/p>\n
A separate add-on is included which can measure the ambient temperature.<\/p>\n
It comes with a small device called a Wearable Sensing Device (TAG) which connects wirelessly to the companion smartphone app, and detects the ambient temperature. This means that it can automatically adjust the cooling temperature accordingly. <\/p>\n
You can also change the temperature yourself using physical buttons on the device or the smartphone app. <\/p>\n
Sony Reon Pocket Pro Plus: Improvements<\/p>\n
Sony has added new features, improved power and more.<\/p>\n
The latest model is not the first from Sony but it\u2019s enhanced in a series of ways. First, it goes cooler than the last model by 20%, Sony says. Secondly, it has safety cut-outs so that if the device begins to overheat, it will shut down automatically \u2014 after all, you\u2019re trying to get cooler, not hotter. Also, the new model also has a Smart Mode which is designed to adjust the temperature automatically.<\/p>\n
Though the new model is a touch heavier than the last model, the weight distribution is designed to keep it from becoming fatiguing to wear for long periods.<\/p>\n

SonySony Reon Pocket Pro Plus: Battery Life<\/p>\n
Wireless devices need batteries, and batteries need to recharge\u2026<\/p>\n
How long the gizmo lasts between charges depends on how hard you make it work. With the Reon Pocket Pro Plus on its second-coldest setting, it should last up to 10 hours before it gives up. Recharging can take up to about three hours.<\/p>\n
Sony Reon Pocket Pro Plus: Pricing And Availability<\/p>\n
The Sony Reon Pocket Pro Plus costs $259.99 direct from electronics.sony.com. It\u2019s only just arrived in the States but it\u2019s already out of stock. However, other stores, like wafuu.com and eBay.com have it, though prices vary. <\/p>\n
Sony Reon Pocket Pro Plus: Works In The Winter, Too<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re thinking $259.99 is pricey, bear in mind that it also works as a warming as well as a cooling device. However hard it is to imagine when you\u2019re in the grip of a heat dome, it will get colder again one day. And you can still use it then to warm you up. <\/p>\n
