Say goodbye to uncomfortable neck sweats during sweltering summer days and frosty neck chills in chilly winter nights with the Sony Reon Pocket 5 Pro. This clever little device is a game-changer when it comes to maintaining your ideal neck temperature, no matter the weather!
When temperatures start to rise, an effective yet traditional method for staying cool involves chilling your neck, such as with wet towels. But the Sony Reon Pocket 5 Pro does it better - and for hours on end! Despite its sleek and portable design, this powerful neck air conditioner can keep you cozy even in the heart of winter.
A Perfect Fit for Every Day
Lighter than a can of soda (just under 250 grams), the device sports a flexible neck strap for easy adjustability. The curved inner side features a metal plate housing the dual thermo modules responsible for generating the cool or warm air.
A fan on top vents the heat, while intake vents on the bottom draw in fresh air, which makes the device more effective in expelling the hot air and maintaining a cool environment. Since the Reon Pocket 5 Pro is meant to be worn underneath your clothes, there are two nozzle lengths to accommodate both T-shirts and shirts with collars.
Manual or Automatic - Take Your Pick
You have two control options: manually adjust the temperature in multiple steps or allow the smart automatic function to take over. The latter uses sensors that measure body and air temperature, as well as air humidity, for optimal cooling or heating. The automatic function even includes a wear detection feature that starts or pauses the device based on whether it's around your neck.
An included device tag can be attached to your clothing or bag, making environmental temperature and humidity measurements more accurate. The tag also incorporates motion and light sensors, which enhance the device's adaptability to different scenarios, such as outdoor activities, direct sunlight, or carrying it in a bag.
The Perfect Fit Matters
Because efficiency depends on a snug fit, the adjustable neck strap lets you bend and shorten it as needed. However, finding the perfect fit may take some trial and error, especially for individuals with more prominent spinal processes. In such cases, an off-center position might help.
When correctly positioned, the cooling or heating sensation is almost instantaneous. The Reon Pocket 5 Pro responds rapidly to temperature adjustments, and the smart automatic function reliably prevents overheating and stiff necks. Despite its relatively close proximity to the ears, the background noise is pleasant and unobtrusive, even at maximum power.
Long-Lasting Battery Life and USB-C Charging
The device's impressive battery life range varies depending on usage and temperature settings. On a single charge, the Reon Pocket 5 Pro can offer up to 34 hours of cooling or up to 10 hours of heating. When connected to an external power bank, the battery life can be extended further. And in case of an emergency, the device can be charged using any USB-C charger.
Conclusion
Although the Sony Reon Pocket 5 Pro is an investment, it's well worth it for those spending lots of time outdoors or in non-airconditioned settings. Not only is it perfect for the summer, but it's also useful during the winter. And at 230 euros, owning one means you'll never have to complain about a stuffy office or a brisk walk home again!
The Commission, in the context of various technological advancements, has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation, especially those using gadgets like smartphones and other handheld devices, which emit non-ionizing radiation. The Reon Pocket 5 Pro, with its advanced cooling and heating technology, protects its users from physical discomfort caused by extreme weather conditions, thus, indirectly addressing the need for workers to maintain ideal temperatures to minimize potential health risks associated with sustained exposure to such conditions.
