Sony successfully crowdfunds air conditioner that you can wear

Because they can and they care

While some technology companies fight tooth and nail over questionable innovations bordering on gimmicks, Sony is here to solve an actual problem humans have to endure: scorching heat.

The Japanese giant just successfully crowdfunded a soap-sized air-conditioning that you can wear. They’re calling it Reon Pocket and it will sell for JP¥ 12,760 (US$ 117) by March 2020.

The airconditioning device will fit inside a built-in pocket at the back of a customized white undershirt. With a few taps on the companion app, you will be able to lower your body temperature during summer, or raise it when it gets colder, although Sony says they are working on making this automatic in the future.

The mini AC uses the Peltier effect instead of blowing air into your body. This transfers heat between two objects using small electrical current, meaning it will absorb heat and cool you down when temperatures rise, and act as a heater when temperatures drop.

It can last up to 24 hours on a single charge, and takes about two hours to charge from zero to 100 percent via a USB-C port.

Unfortunately Sony hasn’t figured out how women can benefit from this technology without sacrificing style for comfort; the special undershirt it comes with only comes in men’s sizes, for now.

But it’s exclusive to South Korea for now.

Audio wearables have been getting makeovers as of late. Besides the traditional form factors, the segment is experimenting with bone conduction and clip-on headphones. Today, Samsung is joining that trend with the Galaxy Buds On.

Debuting in South Korea, the Galaxy Buds On is Samsung’s first-ever clip-on earbuds. You’re likely familiar with how these earbuds look like, having seen them grace the ears of many a passerby today. Instead of plugging right into your ear canals, they actually do clip onto your earlobes. Samsung’s take, however, is a little bit heftier, which the brand claims gives it a wider surface area to balance the weight for your ears.

Additionally, the new earbuds has a TwinBoost speaker system. While the system adds better bass to the earbuds, it also adds automatic voice adjustments to better attune the sound according to your environment. It also has an Audio Leakage Reduction feature, so others won’t be able to hear what you’re listening to.

The Galaxy Buds On has a charging case almost identical to the Galaxy Buds4 case. Powered by the Snapdragon S7 Gen 1 Sound Platform, the earbuds can reportedly last up to 9.5 hours on a single charge.

Right now, the wearable is exclusive to South Korea, but Samsung says that a global rollout will happen in the future. In South Korea, the Galaxy Buds On costs KRW 299,000 (or approximately US$ 220).
