Sony today announces the launch of “REON POCKET PRO” wearable thermo-device kit, the latest premium addition to the REON POCKET series of products that can be worn around the neck to cool or warm the part of the body that the device is in contact with.
For the first time in the REON POCKET series, REON POCKET PRO features two independent thermo-modules (DUAL thermo-modules). In addition, it features a newly developed heat-dissipating fan offering approximately twice the airflow1 compared to the previous model2, with a newly designed heat-dissipation mechanism. REON POCKET PRO offers several further enhancements from the previous model2 with approximately twice the cooling area3, up to twice the heat-absorbing performance4, and up to twice the operating time5.
Twice the cooling area, up to twice the heat-absorbing performance, and up to twice the operating time
REON POCKET PRO is equipped with two independent thermo-modules (DUAL thermo-modules), approximately doubling3 the cooling/warming area compared to conventional models.
The DUAL thermo-module is a new mechanism in which each thermo-module is driven alternately with varying intensity to sustain cooling. In addition, a newly developed heat-dissipating fan with twice the airflow1 and a newly designed heat-dissipation mechanism deliver improved heat absorption, with improved cooling performance of up to approximately twice4 that of the previous model.
As a further enhancement, the upgraded battery delivers approximately 34 hours6 at COOL Level 1 and up to double5 the operating time of the previous model.
New sensors offering more personalised temperature experience all day
The accuracy of AUTO START/STOP, which automatically starts or stops the cooling and warming by sensing the condition of the unit and the user's mounting/removal motion, has been improved.
In addition, sensors on the main unit and a unique algorithm have evolved the operating time when using the SMART COOL mode. The enhanced SMART COOL mode intelligently adapts to your environment by analysing user behaviour, temperature, and humidity to deliver powerful, efficient cooling for up to 15 hours7.
Unobtrusive size, high quietness and easy operability, even in business settings
The new internal heat-dissipating structure has achieved a compact size that remains inconspicuous, even in business environments. The chassis features a light gray colour that blends in seamlessly and remains inconspicuous.
The operating noise has been reduced by approximately 50%8 compared to conventional models, delivering significantly quieter performance. In addition, control buttons located on the sides support basic operations, such as switching between COOL and WARM modes and selecting different levels, even when a smartphone is not available.
New body design and improved neckband for enhanced wearing comfort
The design of the main unit has been improved, with the cooling/warming area now approximately twice3 larger than before. This area is tilted at the bottom of the main unit to better fit the body shape.
The neckband’s flexibility has been improved by increasing the diameter of the mechanical flexible tube surrounding the wire frame at the center of the band. Additionally, a new silicone extension has been added at the tip of the band for extra comfort.

Notes
- Comparison of airflow with our measurement method.
- RNP-5
- Comparison of the size of the cooling/warming area.
- Average heat absorption during the first 60 minutes of operation at maximum cooling level when powered by rechargeable batteries. Subject to change depending on usage conditions and environment.
- Comparison of operating time when powered by rechargeable batteries at COOL level. Subject to change depending on usage conditions and environment.
- For continuous use, COOL mode pauses after 15 hours.
- This is a rough estimate when used at rest in an indoor environment at 30°C (86°F) with the default settings. Duration varies depending on usage conditions and the environment.
