Viben Obsession vs Kiiroo ProWand Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Viben Obsession is a wand I haven’t continued to use after testing it because it’s extremely buzzy and has only intense power levels. Nothing soft or moderate.
Though some people may enjoy its vibrations, many will find its combination of extreme strength and buzziness overwhelming. I can only use its lowest power level without feeling overstimulated – and even then I need to use it over my clothes.
If you prefer more rumbly vibrations, the Viben Sultry and BMS PalmPower Extreme are better wands in a comparable price range. Most people will enjoy their deeper vibrations more than the Obsession’s high-pitched buzzy vibes.
The Obsession is easy to use and maneuver, and the silicone is comfortable. But I’d only consider it if you know you enjoy buzzy vibrations.
The Kiiroo ProWand is a pretty good wand, but it isn’t the best app-controlled wand for most people.
It can be a good choice if you’re easily overstimulated or prefer gentle to moderate vibration strength. Its five settings offer a gradual build from mild to moderate, and the app gives you even more precise control. It’s also exceptionally quiet, IPX7 waterproof for bath play, and its slim, compact design makes it easy to maneuver, especially during sex.
However, it serves a very specific niche. The ProWand is only worth considering if you need an app-controlled wand that is both quiet (unlike the louder, more powerful Lovense Domi 2) and has a compact, small head (unlike the full-sized We-Vibe Wand 2).
To get that specific combination of features, you must accept the more basic app control and lack of extremely powerful top settings. For everyone else, the Lovense Domi 2 offers a far superior app-controlled experience for the same price, and those who don’t need app-control have even more options – see our best wand vibrators here.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The Viben Obsession is significantly stronger than any of my non-wand vibrators, even on its softest setting.
There are three power levels. The lowest starts at 7.7 out of 10 vibration strength, and it goes up to 8.5 on high. It doesn’t provide any warm-up, which is a bummer because I typically need softer power when I’m starting out. Otherwise, the vibrations feel too overwhelming.
I can only use the Viben Obsession’s lowest power level without feeling irritated. And even then, I need to use it over my clothes.
I find the second and third levels wildly unpleasant. They’re extremely buzzy which feels overwhelming and uncomfortable combined with the immense strength. I’ll talk more about that in the next section.
Many wands have a broader power range than the Viben Obsession – packing extreme power on high, but beginning gentler on low. I prefer these wands like the Lovense Domi, BMS PalmPower Extreme, among others.
The Kiiroo ProWand has a decent vibration range, starting very gently and reaching a moderate top strength. This may be disappointing for those expecting the extreme power typical of wands, but it’s a great fit if you want a gradual build with strength comparable to mid-sized, non-wand vibrators. It has enough strength for me personally.
The five preset powers climb gradually enough that I’m not shocked by the transition, and they’re also distinct enough that each setting feels different, so I like spending time on each one. If you want an even more custom experience, you can use the app to adjust the power with a slider, which lets you reach in-between settings that aren’t available with the buttons alone.
If you want the higher vibration strength that’s typically expected of wands, both the app-controlled Lovense Domi 2 or the non-app-controlled BMS PalmPower Extreme are great alternatives in this price range.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate wands with rumbly vibrations more highly than those with buzzy vibrations. Most people prefer rumbliness. But, there is definitely variation in peoples’ preferences.
For example – I really enjoy neutral or moderately buzzy vibrations when they’re moderately powerful (roughly vibration strengths between 4 and 7). But when vibrations are both extremely buzzy and immensely powerful they become unbearable to me.
And that’s the problem with the Viben Obsession – it’s extreme in both power and buzziness.
It’s one of the few wand vibrators we’ve tested that is already buzzy on its lowest setting! And on high, it’s the buzziest of all our wands. On the second or third power, I don’t even like to touch it to any part of my body. And I definitely don’t want it near my clit!
You can find comparably priced, powerful wands with better rumbliness. Whether that’s extreme rumbliness, like with the Lovense Domi, moderately rumbly like the Viben Sultry, or more neutral like the BMS PalmPower Extreme. I enjoy each of these wands, and each provides powerful stimulation with deeper, more enjoyable rumbliness.
We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them. This is all up to personal preference, though, so consider what you like.
The first four settings of the Kiiroo ProWand are rumbly, and the top setting has a neutral feel. The settings are spread out to cover a wider frequency range than many of my other wands, which is likely why each setting feels so different. I enjoy spending time with each one.
If you enjoy rumbly settings at gentler strengths, the ProWand is excellent. But if you want stronger rumbly vibrations, the Lovense Domi 2 is better.
App Control: Main Takeaways
In the next sections, I’ll cover the Kiiroo FeelConnect 3 app’s Close-Range Features, its Long-Distance Features, and its Connectivity in detail.
But here’s the main conclusion:
Kiiroo’s FeelConnect 3 app is middle-of-the-road. Its features are adequate for close-range play and provide some fun customization options. However, the connectivity is hit-or-miss for long-distance control, and the overall experience isn’t as polished or feature-rich as Lovense’s (the best app-controlled brand).
Overall, if the app experience is your main priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is the clear winner. But if you see the app as a fun bonus feature and you prioritize the ProWand’s other qualities (like its quietness, more moderate intensity, and small head), then the app is good enough to still be enjoyable.
App Control: Close Range Features
The Kiiroo ProWand has decent close-range features in the FeelConnect 3 app. It’s not as user-friendly as my favorite app (Lovense), but it provides good basic control with more customization features than the We-Vibe app.
There are several screens in the app that provide different ways to control your Kiiroo ProWand:
- Touch Control
- Patterns
- Sound Control
- Device-to-Device
In Touch Control, you can set a constant vibration intensity by dragging an on-screen dot up or down. The dot displays the power percentage, giving you great in-the-moment visual feedback and highly customized control, similar to my favorite feature in the Lovense app.
To create a wave-like pattern, you can pop out a side panel with three ovals representing the low, mid, and high parts of the power spectrum. The wand will then oscillate through whichever sections you have selected. For example, if you select the bottom two ovals, the wave will vibrate back-and-forth between the low and mid-powers. In this mode, the on-screen dot no longer controls intensity but instead adjusts the speed of the wave—lower for slower, higher for faster.
While this allows for good customization, I find the whole process less intuitive than the simple “loop” and “float” features in the Lovense Domi’s app, which make it easier to create any pattern quickly.
In FeelConnect’s Patterns, you can draw your own patterns using the Touch Control screen and save them to use again in the future. This is where all your saved patterns will be stored.
A useful feature for both the Touch Control and Patterns screens is the ability to control multiple Kiiroo toys simultaneously. Whether you’re using a clitoral and G-spot toy on yourself or playing with a partner, you can sync both toys to vibrate together. However, they will both follow the exact same pattern; unlike the Lovense app, you can’t control each toy independently on the same screen.
With Sound Control, your ProWand will vibrate based on the sound picked up by your phone’s mic. The screen displays a sound threshold line; whenever the noise around you is louder than this threshold, the ProWand vibrates. You can drag the threshold line up or down to make it more or less sensitive. A vertical slider on the right lets you set the constant intensity your wand will vibrate at when the sound is loud enough.
Device-to-Device control allows for hands-free control of a partner’s toy. In this mode, you select one “Main Device” that has a touch sensor and up to two “Controlled Devices” (which don’t need a sensor). When the Main Device is pressed against your body, the Controlled Device(s) will vibrate at full power. This is a neat way to sync up your partner’s stimulation with yours.
The Kiiroo ProWand does not have a touch sensor, so it can only be a “Controlled Device.” I paired it with my Kiiroo Fuse as the Main Device, and once you get used to it, the feature works pretty well. There’s a tiny delay, but it’s not too noticeable. However, the app must remain open and on-screen for it to work.
Through the app, you can also customize the color and flashing sequence of the light on the bottom of the wand, but you cannot turn the light off entirely.
If app control is a fun bonus feature, but not a top priority, the Kiiroo ProWand is a nice choice! But the Lovense app provides a better user experience, easier pattern creation, and tons of pre-made patterns. If you’ll use the app often, the Lovense Domi 2 is better.
App Control: Long Distance Features
The Kiiroo ProWand’s long-distance features in the FeelConnect 3 app are adequate but basic.
Within the app, you can message a partner, give them control of your toy, and video chat with them while they control your ProWand. Your partner’s control screen is just a simple slider to control the power (to send a “pattern” you’d have to continually drag the slider). This is functional, but less intuitive and more basic than other apps like Lovense, which allow a controlling partner to create looping patterns on the fly or send pre-designed patterns. Unlike other apps, you also can’t share photos or saved patterns with your partner.
If you want to play with someone regularly, you can add them as a partner by searching for their username in the “Interact” section. This saves them to your partner list where you can see their online status (though this isn’t always accurate) and quickly connect. If you’d prefer to give someone anonymous one-time control, you can instead generate a timed link that expires after a period of time you set. Once the time has expired, they’ll lose control of your toy.
If long-distance control will be an occasional activity for you, the Kiiroo ProWand works okay (though it has some connectivity issues in long-distance mode, discussed below). But if you plan to use this feature frequently, the Lovense Domi 2’s app is more reliable, has better features, and gives your partner better visuals and controls.
App Control: Connectivity
The Kiiroo ProWand’s FeelConnect 3 app has decent connectivity in close range but can be frustrating in long-distance mode.
Pairing the toy with the app is usually quick and reliable. Occasionally, it won’t pair right away, but restarting the app fixes the issue. Once connected, I can use the app’s close-range features consistently, even with periods of inactivity or while switching between other apps, and it rarely disconnects. If it does, re-pairing is quick and easy.
Long-distance mode is where the connectivity is spottier. About 25-50% of the time, my initial video call does not go through to my partner; they only receive a “missed call” notification. The app also often shows my partner as offline when they are online. Thankfully, you can still send a call either way. But it takes more out-of-app communication to coordinate a session.
The Lovense Domi 2 is very reliable, and I recommend it instead if you plan to frequently use the long-distance features.
Comfort & Ease of Use
The Viben Obsession has a comfortable handle that’s relatively narrow for a full-sized wand. People with small hands like me will find its slim, silicone handle comfortable and easy to grip. I also don’t feel any uncomfortable vibrations in my hands as I do with some wands. This surprised me since the Obsession is extremely powerful.
The head is large, which means you can’t fit it into tight areas, but it provides wider stimulation instead. Since the vibrations are so strong, you probably won’t need to position its head in a precise spot – it broadly stimulates the entire area. It’s also lighter than other full-sized wands so maneuvering it is fairly easy.
The head is firm, but the neck is extremely flexible which keeps it comfortable.
The controls are great. They’re easy to feel without looking, but I don’t accidentally press them. And you can both increase or decrease the power, which is necessary since this wand is so strong. You may need to step back down sometimes.
The Kiiroo ProWand is very comfortable and easy to use. It’s best for those who prefer mini wands – the compact size is easy to move around and fit into tight spots.
The slim head allows more precise contact than wands with large heads. Though the head is firm, the extreme flexibility of the neck keeps contact very comfortable. Though it takes extra effort to leverage for firm pressure because of this neck flexibility.
The handle is long enough to provide several grip points, and slim enough to wrap your hand around easily.
The controls are excellent, allowing you to increase and decrease strength with separate buttons. If you like to adjust power levels frequently, this is important – it helps you get to your ideal setting quickly.
One downside is the noticeable light at the base of the handle. In the app, you can customize the light features by selecting the color and flashing sequence of the light during use. You can adjust it so that it doesn’t flash, but you cannot turn this light off entirely, which some people may find distracting.
Use During Sex
In this section, I try to rate how easy it is to use the wand during sex. I consider aspects like whether a wand limits how my partner and I can position our bodies and whether maneuvering the wand and keeping it in contact with my clit during sex is easy.
I try to compartmentalize how the vibrations themselves feel. But I experience such discomfort from the Viben Obsession’s extremely buzzy vibrations during sex, it’s impossible to separate that component out completely.
With all the movement happening during sex, the Viben Obsession’s wide head bumps into my legs and other areas that I don’t want to be stimulated. And since the vibrations are so powerful and buzzy it feels uncomfortable and distracting.
This is especially the case in positions like Missionary or Spooning where I can’t lean back to create more space for the wand’s head. The Viben Obsession’s firm head also bumps uncomfortably into my pubic bone in Cowgirl.
The Obsession’s vibrations seem to feel more diffuse in Doggystyle, and I’m able to enjoy the lowest power level a bit. And the Viben Obsession has a long enough handle that I can support its weight by resting the wand’s base on the bed. So my arms don’t get tired using it in this position.
The Kiiroo ProWand is fantastic to use during sex. For a wand, it’s very slim and lightweight, allowing you to maneuver it easily, and it fits between you and a partner for great stimulation in any position.
The handle is shorter than full-sized wands but longer than most mini wands, giving you plenty of length to leverage without having to reach too far. In positions like doggystyle or spooning, you still have enough handle length to prop against the bed for support.
The slim head is especially important to me during partnered use, as larger heads can bump against my pubic bone painfully. With the ProWand’s tall, oval shape, I can easily limit contact to comfortable areas.
Noise
The Viben Obsession is my loudest wand vibrator. I find its noise distracting, and it’s certainly not discreet.
My partner can hear it from the other side of our closed bedroom door on all power levels. And it’s the only wand that was not drowned out by playing music in the bedroom. My partner could still hear it on the other side of the door!
The Viben Sultry and Magic Wand Rechargeable are comparably powerful, but much quieter (and more rumbly too!)
The Kiiroo ProWand is very quiet, making it an excellent choice if you have housemates and need something discreet.
In our test, my partner could not hear the vibrations on any setting from the other side of the bedroom door. As someone sensitive to sounds, I really like the noise levels of this wand and enjoy using it.
Attachment Compatibility
The Viben Obsession has excellent compatibility with wand attachments. As a full-sized wand, the majority of attachments are designed for heads this size.
There are compatible attachments for a range of stimulation including G-spot, prostate, anal, penis, clitoral, and dual-stimulation. Below are the wand attachments we’ve tested for compatibility with the Viben Obsession.
The Kiiroo ProWand has very poor attachment compatibility. The slim head that makes it great to use during sex severely limits the number of usable attachments.
Most attachments are made for wands with larger heads. In my current collection, only two fit the ProWand well. You can find a few options, but you’ll have to hunt for them. If attachments are a priority, try a wand like the We-Vibe Wand 2 or Magic Wand Plus.
Mount Compatibility
I test my wands with the Liberator Wanda and Axis mounts which hold your wand so you can play hands-free. The Viben Obsession fits well with both mounts.
The Axis works best lying on your stomach while the mount holds the wand between your legs. The Viben Obsession’s head rests in a good position for clit stimulation, sticking out just past the fabric.
In the Axis, I prefer wands with an upward curve or angle like with the BMS PalmPower Extreme which put a little more pressure on my clit. But since the Viben Obsession’s power and buzziness are so intense, I’m happy to have slightly less contact with my clit.
The Wanda mount also holds the Obsession in a good position. I can comfortably straddle the mount while keeping the head in contact with my clit. The broad head provides plenty of surface area to lean against. And the flexible neck is comfortable when I press my weight back on it.
We test our wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. The Kiiroo ProWand works okay with these mounts, but not as well as wands with larger heads.
The Axis holds the ProWand at a slightly upward angle while you lie across the mount on your stomach. The slim head doesn’t offer much firm pressure, but the vibrations are still enjoyable – since they’re rumbly so they travel well even without great pressure. But if you want firm pressure and more consistent contact, an angled wand with a larger head works better, like the We-Vibe Wand 2 or BMS PalmPower Extreme.
The Wanda holds the ProWand mostly upright – then you can sit on top of the mount for hands-free stimulation. This works well solo, but it would be difficult to pair with penetration from a partner – the wand’s too short for that, so you need to sit really low on the mount to keep contact with it. The slim head makes the contact surface less comfortable to press against since it’s not as broad.
The We-Vibe Wand 2 or BMS PalmPower Extreme are better in the Wanda mount for solo and partnered play.
Battery Life
The Viben Obsession lasts around 65 minutes on high power, which is shorter than other comparably strong wands. You’ll have to be vigilant about charging between uses.
If you tend to forget to charge your wand like me, you might want something with a longer battery life, like the Magic Wand Rechargeable.
The Kiiroo ProWand is rechargeable with an excellent battery life. In my test, it lasted for almost five and a half hours on high power from a single charge. This is great news if you’re like me and often forget to charge your toys between uses.
However, when left running continuously for this long, it would sometimes automatically lower the power, likely as a motor-preservation feature. For testing purposes, I reset the power to high whenever this happened. Towards the very end of the test (after several hours), it also began to behave oddly, sometimes changing to an unprompted vibration pattern. These issues do not occur during normal, shorter-duration use, even up to a couple hours.
Build Quality
The Viben Obsession’s construction is decent overall. The buttons feel a little clicky. And the neck feels somewhat flimsy and makes a weird noise when I apply pressure. This makes me more cautious to press the Obsession as firmly as other wands.
Other than that, the silicone and construction quality feels good.
The Kiiroo ProWand has good build quality. The silicone and buttons have a nice feel with no rough seams. The body is fairly lightweight, which could feel cheap to some, but also makes it easy to hold for long periods. The neck is very flexible and feels a little flimsy, but it hasn’t shown any signs of breaking.
