Summary
Sony’s Reon Pocket Pro Plus is now on sale in the U.S., with the $259.99 wearable neck cooler already out of stock on Sony’s site shortly after arrival.
The device cools the back of the neck through a metal plate worn under clothing, while a vent pushes extracted heat away and leaves the user’s hands free.
A bundled wireless TAG measures ambient temperature and works with a smartphone app to auto-adjust cooling; users can also change settings manually on the device.
Sony says the new model cools 20% more than the previous version, adds overheat shutoffs and Smart Mode, and runs up to 10 hours on its second-coldest setting.
The product also doubles as a warmer in colder weather, positioning it as a year-round wearable as U.S. buyers look for relief from extreme summer heat.
