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 Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In wand has an excellent top strength of 7.5 out of 10, but a sub-par power range.

Its top power levels feel extremely intense to me – I don’t personally need this much power and prefer to stick to the lower levels. But those who want intensity will enjoy its top settings.

The first setting’s 5.5 strength is already somewhat strong (though it is a bit gentler than the Le Wand Die Cast Rechargeable’s first setting). While I find it to be a comfortable starting level, it may be overwhelming if you need a very mild warmup.

With 10 power levels, steps between settings are comfortable. But it’s just a narrow range – you’ve got to only need moderate to intense stimulation.

If you need a wider power range, consider the Doxy Die Cast.

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 wands higher than buzzy wands since most people prefer rumbliness. However, it’s a personal preference, and some, including myself, enjoy buzzy vibrations.

The Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In wand is one of the most buzzy wands I own. It reaches a higher frequency than any comparably powerful wand I’ve tested.

This wand is great at targeting a precise area since buzzy vibes don’t spread out as far or travel as deep as rumbly vibrations. I enjoy the better surface-level stimulation they provide at this strength. However, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is a better choice if you prefer the kind of stimulation that travels deeper.

If you’re unsure exactly what you prefer, the Doxy Die Cast has rumbly vibrations on low, neutral at mid-strength, and buzzy vibrations on high. So you get a bit of everything.

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 Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In Vibrating Massager is comfortable and easy to use.

I don’t feel the vibrations in my hand at all – the aluminum alloy handle does an amazing job of dampening them. This wand’s heavy weight also applies excellent pressure naturally without much need for me to leverage it with my wrist or arm. Despite its weight, it’s still quick to maneuver since it’s relatively short and has a small head, which fits easily into tight spaces.

The head is very firm and attached with a slightly flexible neck, but I still find it comfortable to press firmly against me since I can limit contact to a softer body region. It’s easy to avoid bony spots where the firm head could bump against uncomfortably (this precise positioning is harder to accomplish with a large head).

Two separate buttons allow you to increase and decrease strength, and a third lets you cycle through the 19 vibration patterns. With all the settings on this wand, the three-button system makes it easy to get where you want quickly.

Turning the toy off and on will also reset it to its lowest power at a steady vibration – this offers a quick way to return to the constant vibration mode if you accidentally switch to a pattern. You don’t need to cycle through all the settings.

The buttons are also placed in a good spot on the wand. I don’t find myself accidentally pressing the buttons. But it’s easy to feel them without looking, so I’m not distracted when changing power levels.

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 Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In wand is good during sex.

It’s best in positions where you’re holding the wand’s head down (like Modified Missionary or Cowgirl), so its weight naturally rests against your body. This provides good pressure against your vulva and doesn’t tire your arm. And the small head and mid-length handle fit more easily than full-sized  wands into the tight spaces during these face-to-face positions.

Since this wand is heavy, it’s more tiring in positions where you’re holding it up, like Spooning and Doggystyle. If you tire easily, you can prop the handle on a pillow to help support its weight. And you can get good contact with your clit either way. But if these positions are your priority, a lighter wand like the Lovense Domi 2 or BMS PalmPower Extreme is better.

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 Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In wand is loud.

When I used this in the bedroom, my partner heard it on all power levels from the other side of our closed door. He did note that he could barely hear the lower settings, and thought no one would hear unless they were actively listening for the sound. The middle and upper settings were easily audible. The only way we could mask the sound of the top settings was to play music in the bedroom.

The sound itself isn’t annoying or distracting – it’s a very clean sound. But there are better options like the We-Vibe Wand 2 if you have housemates.

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 Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In has okay compatibility with attachments but is not as good as full-sized wands.

The Le Wand Petite attachments and a few others work well with it. The stimulation variety in this mix was good, but a larger head like the Doxy Die Cast’s will have more compatible attachments.

For a list of the attachments we’ve tested for compatibility with the Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In, see our wand attachment compatibility table here.

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.

I test my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free play. The Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In works decently with both.

You’re more limited in the Axis mount because of this wand’s small head size. The small head doesn’t naturally reach your clit as much. It applies some light pressure but not to the extent that a full-sized head or angled head does in this mount. You may need to situate your body more intentionally to keep the head in consistent contact with your clit.

It works better in the Wanda mount. You can sit directly on the mount for hands-free stimulation or kneel above it during sex. The shorter handle means I have to sink down a little lower than usual to keep consistent contact with my clit, but it’s still enjoyable. If you need to, you can also place a pillow under the mount to position the wand’s head higher.

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 Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In wand is corded. You’ll need to play near an outlet, but you don’t even need to worry about charging it.

The cord is 8 feet long and comes with 4 adapters for US, UK, EU, and AUS outlets.

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 Le Wand Die Cast Plug-In Vibrating Massager has excellent build quality.

Its heavy aluminum-alloy handle feels solid, durable, and well-built. The neck is slightly flexible and not flimsy at all – I’m not afraid to apply firm pressure. The smooth head has tight seams rounded off for a comfortable contoured shape. The head is firm with a silicone coating and seems solid, but maybe not as luxurious as a plush silicone head.
