Sony’s portable cooling device becomes more powerful with new version
The Sony presents the enhanced version of the Reon Pocket Pro Plus, its wearable cooling device. The equipment arrives on the European and British markets with significant improvements in performance and stability, consolidating a trajectory of almost ten years of technological refinement that began in 2017.
Extended Refrigeração and enhanced Peltier technology
The new Celsius model offers a two-degree increase in cooling capacity over its predecessor, a 20 percent improvement that represents the main highlight of this generation. The device works through the Peltier effect, an electrothermal process that allows cooling without traditional moving parts. An electrically cooled metal plate delivers lower temperatures at the base of the neck, an ideal location for the human circulatory system, functioning as a miniaturized ice accumulator with an integrated USB-C port.
Sony has refined the cooling algorithm to more accurately monitor temperature changes in both the device and the surrounding environment. The manufacturer’s internal Testes showed a stronger and more sustained dissipation effect using thermal maps. Apesar with the highest power, the equipment maintains autonomy of up to ten hours in the second highest cooling setting.

Improved Estabilidade and ergonomic design
The fins of the new Reon Pocket Pro Plus increase the device’s stability during prolonged use by 40 percent. Essas fins, which keep the device fixed to the neck and shoulders, feature a more adaptable design to accommodate different neck shapes and sizes. The device follows the same visual pattern as the previous model, tracing the back of the neck and remaining discreet under t-shirts or any other clothing.
The structure remains discreet with a silent fan responsible for circulating air through the cooling area. An automatic shut-off mechanism protects against possible damage caused by overheating, ensuring safety during long session use.
Accessories and Connectivity Ecossistema
The Reon Pocket Pro Plus package includes the second generation of the Pocket Tag, an accessory reduced in size compared to the previous model. Este device monitors ambient temperature and relative humidity, data that helps the Reon to automatically adjust its operation. The integration between the wearable and the external sensor creates a feedback system that optimizes performance in different weather conditions.
