Last year, Sony quietly launched one of the strangest gadgets it’s ever made. It wasn’t a new pair of headphones or a new TV (though it did launch those too), but a wearable air conditioner, giving the Dyson zone a run for its money as one of the kookiest gadgets in tech.
This portable fan, the Sony reon pocket 5, was designed to sit at the base of your neck and keep you cool (or warm) via a temperature-controlled plate that chills or heats the skin on contact. Sony has since returned with a follow-up.
