The We-Vibe Chorus Pro provides enjoyable clitoral stimulation during sex, but it doesn’t bring me to orgasm hands-free like the We-Vibe Chorus or Sync 2.

The stimulation is still decent and can build toward orgasm, but I haven’t quite gotten there with the Chorus Pro – I always have to reach down and press the clit arm against me more firmly.

The reason is the redesigned external arm. On the Chorus Pro, it’s broader and heavier than the slim arms on the Chorus and Sync 2. And while the adjustable hinge does lock it at the angle I set, that extra weight still pulls it away from my body as my partner thrusts. It doesn’t apply the same clitoral pressure that the Chorus and Sync 2 do.

It works best in missionary, where my partner’s body helps press the external arm into my clit a bit better, but still not great.

Though its adjustable hinge does make it much more stimulating than flexible-only couples vibrators like the Romp Join, Sync Lite, and Sync Go which shift off my clit entirely during sex; the Chorus Pro’s hinge prevents that, but its heavier arm still loses pressure.

Like any hands-free couples vibrator, it stimulates less than a handheld like the Lovense Hyphy, which has a bigger motor and lets you press the vibrations exactly where you want.

The bulbous internal arm does provide some internal stimulation. Its motor is weak on its own, but as my partner thrusts, the arm gets pushed firmly against my G-spot. This really enhances the experience if you have better clit stimulation (like with the Sync 2 or Chorus).

The Chorus Pro could be a good fit if you’re sensitive to more focused clit contact. The broader, longer external arm may also help if you have a higher clit position. But for most people, the original Chorus or Sync 2 will be the better choice for hands-free orgasms during sex: they hold firmer clit contact through thrusting, and both cost less.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Pearl 2’s vibration power and rumbliness in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion: the Pearl 2 is one of the least stimulating panty vibrators I’ve tested. The motor itself is strong, but the design doesn’t deliver that power to my clit, and the vibrations are extremely buzzy. Buzzy vibes need consistent firm contact to land, and the Pearl 2’s loose fit can’t provide it.

In the same price range, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy hits the same top strength and actually transfers the vibrations to your clit. For about $50 more, the Lovense Ferri is a much better option – the best vibration transfer of any panty vibrator I’ve tested.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Chorus Pro’s clit vibration power, range, transfer effectiveness, and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Chorus Pro’s vibrations are similar to the We-Vibe Chorus and We-Vibe Sync 2 with some of the strongest, most rumbly clit vibrations in a couples vibrator. But its broader, heavier arm makes that stimulation less reliable during sex: it feels broader and more diffuse than the slightly slimmer models. The additional motor in the clit arm does not make the Chorus Pro feel stronger, but does make it feel more rumbly.

Choose the Chorus Pro for that spread-out, less direct clit contact. But if you value better stimulation, go with the Chorus or Sync 2 instead.

Keep in mind, couples vibrators offer milder clit stim than most vibrators. If you don’t need your wearable to be worn during sex, try the Lovense Ferri. And if the hands-free aspect isn’t important, try a handheld toy like the We-Vibe Touch X.

Although the Honey Play Box Pearl 2’s vibrations are strong, they don’t transfer to the clit well so it feels weak.

The Pearl 2 has a strong clit motor – at a 9 out of 10 top strength, among my panty vibrators it’s second only to the Lovense Ferri, which hits 9.35. On paper, that’s enough power for me to orgasm hands-free. But the design doesn’t deliver that power to my clit – the Pearl 2 has the worst vibration transfer of any panty vibrator I’ve tested.

The Pearl 2 has no magnet, so it shifts around freely in my underwear. The Pearl’s raised bump keeps the toy from naturally hugging my body, and the stimulation point shifts off my clit quickly. The vibrations are also buzzy, and buzzy vibrations need more consistent, firm contact with my clit since they don’t travel as deep. The only way to actually feel this motor’s strength is to press the toy against my clit with my hand, which defeats the entire purpose of a panty vibrator.

Power range is also narrow, spanning from 6.75 to 9 out of 10, which means there’s no gentle starting point for warming up – the lowest setting is already moderately strong.

In the same price range, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy hits the same top strength, a wider power range, and it has a contoured body that transfers vibrations well. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, the Ferri is the across-the-board better option – stronger power, better vibration transfer, and a far better app.

The Chorus Pro’s clit motor has a broad power range, starting gently and reaching 6.75 out of 10 on high. That’s only moderate for wearable vibrators overall, but tied for the strongest hands-free couples vibrator I’ve tested – the We-Vibe Chorus, Sync 2, and original Sync all deliver nearly identical clit power, despite the Chorus Pro having an additional motor in its clit arm.

The Chorus Pro transfers that moderate power well when I’m using it alone, sitting or lying still, but less reliably once I’m moving or my partner is thrusting during sex. The adjustable hinge locks the clit arm at the angle you set, so when I’m still it stays in firm contact and delivers its vibrations about as well as the smaller Chorus and Sync 2.

But the broader, heavier external arm’s weight pulls it away from my body during thrusting, and the vibes hit a broader area rather than concentrating them against my clit. The slimmer Chorus and Sync 2 are better at transferring the vibes where they need to go, so I find them both more stimulating, and easier to orgasm with during sex.

Couples vibrators do not have the strength of a typical handheld, and you’re at the whim of the toy’s fit to hit the right spots. So if strong, well-placed clit stimulation is important, try a handheld instead, like the Lovense Hyphy or a wand vibrator. If hands-free clit stimulation outside of sex is your main goal, a stronger panty vibrator is a better fit.

Among couples vibrators, though, the original We-Vibe Chorus or Sync 2 provide better, more consistent clit stimulation across different uses.

We rate panty vibrators with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer rumbly. But it’s a personal preference, and some people enjoy buzzy vibes more.

The Pearl 2 is extremely buzzy across its entire power range. Its lowest setting measures 132 Hz, the median lands at 143 Hz, and the top climbs to 154 Hz – all sitting well into the extremely buzzy range.

Buzzy vibrations stay concentrated near the surface rather than traveling deep, so they need strong power AND excellent vibration transfer to feel stimulating on my clit. The Pearl 2 has the power but, as noted above, its loose fit keeps the vibrations from transferring to your body well. As a result, even though I often enjoy buzzy vibes personally, they don’t work for this toy.

For rumbly clit stimulation in a panty vibrator, the VeDO Niki is the best choice by a wide margin, never crossing into buzzy territory. Just note the Niki is remote-only, not app-controlled. If you like buzzy vibrations, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy is a better option in this price range – while it’s similarly buzzy to the Pearl, it transfers the vibes to my clit well.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer vibrations that feel deeper and less surface-level. But this is still a personal preference – many people enjoy buzzier vibrations too.

The Chorus Pro’s clit motor is pretty rumbly for a wearable. Its lowest setting is extremely rumbly at around 51 Hz, the middle settings stay moderately rumbly, and even the highest setting only reaches the top of the neutral range at about 90 Hz – it never crosses into buzzy vibrations.

That rumbliness really helps because wearable vibrators have less pressure and placement control than handheld toys. Rumbly vibes travel deeper through your body, which helps the Chorus Pro feel more stimulating even though it doesn’t press as firmly as I’d normally get from a handheld vibe.

While the second motor in the clit arm doesn’t make the vibrations feel stronger, they do feel a bit more rumbly because of it. Likely from the two motors interacting, the Chorus Pro has a low, rhythmic tapping sensation layered over the steady vibrations, which makes the clit motor feel deeper and more rumbly than its raw frequency suggests.

It stays noticeable on every setting, right up to the top. And it gets even stronger when both the clit and G-spot motors run together.

Like all panty vibrators, the Honey Play Box Pearl 2 only stimulates your clit – not your G-spot. Since most women need clit stimulation to orgasm, a panty vibrator is often the right type of wearable. But if you’re interested in G-spot stimulation instead, see all our recommendations for the best egg vibrators here.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Chorus Pro’s G-spot vibration power, range, transfer effectiveness, and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Chorus Pro’s G-spot stimulation is minimal on its own, but helpful during sex. Its internal motor is mild and buzzy, so the vibrations barely register by themselves. During sex, though, the bulbous internal arm gets pushed firmly against my G-spot as my partner thrusts, adding stimulating pressure.

If you want strong, rumbly G-spot vibrations on their own, go with an egg vibrator like the Lovense Lush 4 or We-Vibe Jive 2, or a larger dual-stimulation toy like the Lovense Dolce. But for a couples vibrator worn during sex, the Chorus Pro’s internal arm adds front-wall pressure that clit-only models like the We-Vibe Sync O can’t.

The Chorus Pro’s G-spot motor is very mild on its own, reaching only about 3.25 out of 10 – about half the strength of its clit arm. That’s normal for a hands-free couples vibrator. It’s a touch stronger on paper than the Chorus and Sync 2, but these have better clit stimulation, so I actually recommend them over the Chorus Pro.

On its own, the Chorus Pro’s G-spot motor feels weak and not especially G-spot-focused. But during penetration, the bulbous internal arm gets pushed firmly against my G-spot as my partner thrusts, and that pressure makes the overall stimulation feel more meaningful.

The internal arm of a couples vibrator has to stay slim enough to leave room for comfortable penetration, so it can’t fit a large, powerful motor. Its main job isn’t to deliver intense G-spot vibrations on its own – it’s to anchor the toy and add pressure against the front wall during sex.

If strong solo G-spot vibration is your priority, an egg vibrator like the Lovense Lush 4 or We-Vibe Jive 2 is a better choice, with a far stronger motor for your G-spot. And if you want a couples vibrator for use during sex, I’d recommend the original Chorus or Sync 2 instead.

The Chorus Pro’s G-spot vibrations are extremely buzzy – typical for hands-free couples vibrators. It’s median frequency is around 177 Hz – similar to the Chorus and Sync 2.

For solo use, that buzziness means you won’t feel the internal vibrations much on their own. Buzzy vibrations don’t travel through your body as effectively, and the G-spot is less sensitive than the clit, so a buzzy G-spot motor usually needs more power to compensate.

But that’s not a real problem for what the Chorus Pro is built to do – stimulate you during sex. When my partner thrusts, the bulbous internal arm presses into my G-spot, and that pressure is what makes the stimulation meaningful. The vibrations only add subtle enhancement on top.

So if you want strong, rumbly G-spot vibrations on their own, a larger egg vibrator like the Lovense Lush 4 or We-Vibe Jive 2 is the better pick – no couples vibrator’s internal arm is both strong and rumbly.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the HoneyPlayBox app’s close-range features, long-distance features, and connectivity in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion: the HoneyPlayBox app does basic intensity control well but falls short on any greater customization capabilities. People who care a lot about the app control quality should get the Lovense Ferri.

There’s a good, basic interface for adjusting a constant vibration setting which is all a lot of people need. But pattern selection is poor, pattern creation is buggy, the long-distance features are limited, and connectivity has some issues in specific situations – missed commands during quick intensity changes, occasional long-distance session drops, and disconnections when there’s a lot of body interference blocking the signal.

If exceptional app control is your top priority, the Lovense Ferri is a much better option for about $50 more.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Chorus Pro’s app control in-depth – its close-range features, its long-distance features, and its connectivity.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The We-Vibe app is buggy and bad – far behind Lovense’s app. In close-range control, it caps the Chorus Pro’s clit motor at about 63% of its full power, and freezes often enough that I don’t trust it. Long-distance control is worse: the app often blocks you from even starting a call, and commands tend to stop working even when you do connect.

You’re better off using the remote to control it.

There’s no good couples vibrators designed to stimulate you during sex that have a good app. If app control matters more than hands-free stimulation during sex, you’ll need a different type of wearable – go with a Lovense toy instead: the Lovense Ferri for clit stimulation, the Lovense Lush 4 for G-spot stimulation, or the Lovense Dolce for dual-stimulation.

Note: Honey Play Box has updated their app since this section was written. We are working on updating this discussion. However, the video demo is up to date.

The Honey Play Box app’s close-range feature quality is split: setting and adjusting a constant vibration intensity is genuinely good, but most other features are clunky or don’t work as designed. If a clean intensity controller is all you need from the app, the Pearl 2’s app will be fine. If you want pattern creation, real sound-reactive control, or richer features, the experience is worse than better apps like Lovense.

The strong point is the “Free” control screen (This is what this control mode is called, there are not “paid” vs “free” features). You drag an on-screen dot up or down to set the vibration intensity, with a live waveform showing the level you’ve set. It’s precise, easy for you or a partner to use, and the visual feedback is good – your partner will understand what intensity they’ve set your toy to. It’s similar in concept to Lovense’s main remote screen, and for basic intensity control it works well.

The “Presets” screen is where things start getting clunky. You drag a slider from 1 to 9: positions 1, 2, and 3 are low / medium / high constant intensities, and 4-9 are preset patterns. The patterns are simply numbered – no descriptive names, no preview icons – so there’s no way to know what each pattern feels like without selecting it. There’s also no intensity adjustment for the patterns; you get them at one fixed strength.

Pattern creation works in principle but not in practice. From the “Free” screen, you can tap a “loop” button and draw your own waveform, and the vibrations actually play live as you draw – which is the right design (some apps like We-Vibe make you draw blind without being able to feel what you’re drawing). The problem is the resulting pattern doesn’t match what you drew. A smooth wave you sketch on the screen might come back as a jerky pulse or a series of discrete steps.

A second save-a-session feature records the vibrations you used throughout your entire play session so you can play them again later. But it’s inconsistent – sometimes the save prompt appears, sometimes it doesn’t, and saved sessions are buried and hard to find under your Profile menu rather than alongside normal controls.

The Sound Reactive and Music modes that many apps provide are present but barely usable.

The way Sound Reactive control usually works is that the vibrations get stronger only when the noise around you is louder. But the Honey Play Box app’s Sound Reactive mode has no threshold control. So even quiet sounds trigger the vibrations – and several Honey Play Box toys start with enough power that the vibrations are loud right away.

Music sync only works with audio files saved on your phone (no Spotify or other streaming), and the vibrations don’t really match the music. Both sound and music modes feel like they were shoved in to pad the feature list.

There’s one genuinely uncommon bonus: a Voice Control mode. You set a wake word (“Hi, Honey” by default, but customizable), then give spoken commands to change intensity or switch patterns. There’s a small command list to learn and a bit of lag, but it works as designed. I don’t reach for it often, but I could see it being useful when your hands are busy or have lube on them and you don’t want to touch your phone.

A small annoyance worth mentioning: the app requires account creation even if you only ever plan to use it close-range with no partner. You stay logged in after setup, so it’s not recurring friction, but it’s worth knowing going in.

For pure intensity control via the Free screen, the Pearl 2’s app is genuinely fine – and better than the NS Novelties Techno Lucy‘s more basic app at the same price. But if you want the full close-range features done well – clean preset patterns, a pattern loop that actually matches what you draw, real sound-reactive control with thresholds – the Lovense Ferri is a much beter option for about $50 more. The Lovense Remote app is the best of any brand.

The We-Vibe app’s close-range features are weak because the app is buggy and caps the Chorus Pro’s clit power at 63% of its actual strength. If it worked properly, it would be a decent option for simple intensity control, preset patterns, and basic customization. But the current experience is frustrating enough that you can only rely on the remote. For app control, a Lovense toy like the Ferri, Lush 4, or Dolce is far better – but none of them are couples vibrators you can wear during sex.

The main controls are Single Vibe and Multi Vibe. Both let you drag an on-screen dot up or down to adjust intensity. Multi Vibe also lets you assign preset patterns to four corners, so you can quickly switch between steady vibrations and a few favorite patterns without digging through menus. On either screen you can adjust the clit and G-spot motors together, or split the dot and control each one independently. It’s simple and convenient in theory, but it doesn’t work as intended.

The Chorus Pro’s max power on the clit arm in the app is only 63% of it’s true strength, unlike the original We-Vibe Chorus which avoids this particular bug. This is a huge dealbreaker, considering it’s on the gentle-to-oderate end of strength anyway. You’ll have to use the remote or on-toy button to reach full strength.

The control dot also occasionally freezes and stops responding, and you have to close and reopen the app to get it going again.

There are 10 preset patterns to choose from in Single or Multi Vibe, each with a name and a waveform icon. Some are easy to understand, like Pulse and Wave; others you have to try before you know what they do. One thing We-Vibe does better than Lovense here: you can adjust the power of each preset pattern whereas Lovense lets you adjust the speed. There’s also a Playlist feature for stringing patterns together, but you can’t feel what you’re building as you go, so it’s mostly guesswork.

Custom pattern creation is clunky. It’s buried several taps deep, you can’t feel the pattern as you draw it, and when I tried to play back one I’d made, it crashed the app every time. Lovense does pattern creation far better.

The sound and music modes are okay. Sound Mode uses your phone’s mic, and Music Mode syncs to songs saved locally on your phone – not Spotify or Apple Music, which is not very versatile. Both work, but the controls are poorly labeled, and there’s no minimum-volume threshold like Lovense offers to keep the toy quiet until the sounds around you are loud enough to cover it.

Touch Sense is a Chorus and Chorus Pro – specific feature, but it’s not that useful. The idea is that sensors in the clit arm change the vibrations as your partner’s body bumps against it during sex, so the toy responds to your movement together. But only one of its three modes worked reliably for me, and most people prefer a steady vibration anyway, so it’s more of a novelty than something you’ll actually use.

If you want excellent app control, Lovense is much better: choose the Lovense Ferri for clit stimulation, the Lovense Lush 4 for G-spot stimulation, or the Lovense Dolce for dual-stimulation. But none of those are couples vibrators you can wear during sex, so if that’s your goal, just skip the app and use the remote.

Note: Honey Play Box has updated their app since this section was written. We are working on updating this discussion. However, the video demo is up to date.

The Honey Play Box app’s long-distance feature set is limited and a bit confusing to learn. You can video call your partner and have them control the Pearl 2’s vibration intensity in real time, but that’s the entire feature set – for anything richer, the Lovense Ferri is better.

In a long-distance video call, your partner sees a single intensity slider and can raise or lower the Pearl 2’s vibration power. That’s it. They can’t send preset patterns, and they can’t draw looping patterns the way you can during close-range play. If you both have HoneyPlayBox toys, only one of you can share toy control at a time – there’s no mutual control during the call. With better apps like Lovense’s, your partner has the same control screen you’d have during nearby control, and both partners can control each other’s toys simultaneously.

Getting into the call is also confusing. There’s a “Remote” screen that’s actually the long-distance screen (it isn’t labeled that way), and a separate chat screen with your saved-partner list. Both have buttons that look like they’ll start a video call, but only the “Remote” screen actually shares toy control with your partner – starting a call from the chat screen is video-only without any toy control.

Once you’re past the setup confusion, the call itself is fairly good. The video call controls – mute, camera on/off, front/rear camera swap, end call – sit along the top of the screen and can’t be minimized, so they take a slice of your view of your partner, but not much. Your partner’s intensity slider sits along the edge of the screen, out of the way of the video, and your own camera preview is a small window you can drag wherever is least intrusive. Video quality is decent rather than great – there’s slight pixelation around edges that some will find off-putting, but it didn’t bother us.

In-app messaging exists, but it’s entirely separate from toy control. You can’t text your partner while they’re controlling your vibrations, so if you wanted to swap steamy messages mid-session, you’ll have to use a regular messaging app.

If long-distance play is a major priority for you, the Ferri is a much better option for about $50 more. Lovense’s long-distance experience is the best of any panty vibrator I’ve tested.

The We-Vibe app’s long-distance features are too buggy to recommend. The controls break so often that long-distance play is effectively unusable.

In theory it works like close-range control. Once you’re in a video call or chat, your partner is supposed to get the same Single Vibe and Multi Vibe controls you use nearby, plus the same basic pattern controls. You can even take back control of your own toy mid-session without ending the call – a useful touch that more apps should provide.

But the same close-range problems carry over, and some new, worse ones. In most sessions my partner and I tried, the toys just didn’t respond to what we did in the app – you drag the control dot expecting your partner’s vibrations to change, and nothing happens.

The clit-power cap carries over too, so your partner can’t reach the Chorus Pro’s strongest settings from the app. And you often can’t connect at all: both partners frequently show as “offline” even when you’re both in the app – I’ll cover this issue more indepth in the Connectivity section.

Even when you do connect, starting a video call is clunky – you send and accept four separate requests (the call, the camera, control of your toy, and control of theirs), and they often don’t go through. The video is also blurry and choppy compared to Lovense’s.

Messaging itself is fine – you can send text, photos, voice notes, and video clips. And We-Vibe lets you save multiple partners, but it doesn’t offer Lovense’s anonymous one-time control links or auto-accept settings for a trusted partner.

For long-distance play, a Lovense toy like the Ferri, Lush 4, or Dolce is far better – but none of them are couples vibrators you can wear during sex.

The Honey Play Box app’s connectivity is decent in both nearby Bluetooth and long-distance modes – pairing is fast and Bluetooth range carries far, but the signal can be unreliabile under a lot of body interference.

Pairing the toy to your phone is pretty fast and consistent. Every time you connect, you have to go to the connection screen and select your toy, so it always takes a couple clicks and a few seconds – not the instant auto-pairing better apps like Lovense provide, but quick enough that it doesn’t get in the way.

When a bluetooth disconnection happens, either because you’re out of range or something blocks the signal, getting reconnected is relatively quick and easy, but it takes manual action in the app – it won’t automatically reconnect like many apps do. The app pops up a screen letting you know your toy is disconnected with a “Reconnect” button. You have to click that button and then select your toy from the list. It takes a couple seconds to pair, but works reliably. The vibrations stop on disconnect, which is best for discretion but disrupts the stimulation.

The Pearl 2 maintains a reliable connection under low-to-moderate body interference like typically exists when controlling the toy yourself or with your partner alongside or in front of you – angles where your body doesn’t fully sit between their phone and the toy. But it disconnects completely under more extreme positioning with a lot of body interference. Body tissue is the main thing that can make an app’s bluetooth connection drop during play because water-rich materials like your body weaken an app’s signal much more than other materials like clothes and typical walls.

Bluetooth reached about 240 feet in our open-air max range test – measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference. That’s outstanding range, more than enough for room-to-room use. But keep in mind real-world range will be shorter at angles with body interference.

There’s a minor issue with missed commands on the “Free” control screen. Drawing a fast spike up and then pulling intensity back down often skips the spike entirely – the app jumps straight to the lower intensity without registering the first command. It feels like control input is being read slightly too slowly, so quick back-to-back changes lose their intermediate commands. If you like to play with quick intensity swings rather than smooth ramps, expect to lose some inputs.

Long-distance reliability is decent during active use, but there are some inactive phone behaviors that can cause the session to occasionally drop. As long as one of you keeps the app open, control runs through cleanly – no missed commands, no session drops. But the session occasionally drops if you both lock your phone for some reason; when that happens, you both have to reopen the app and the toy-wearer has to reconnect the toy. Switching between Wi-Fi and cell data mid-session also breaks control, but you can avoid this by starting the session on cell data – once you do, you can switch back and forth without losing the connection. For occasional long-distance use, these quirks are workable.

If you need more reliable connectivity, for both nearby and long-distance play, the Lovense Ferri is a much better panty vibe for about $50 more with outstanding connectivity.

The We-Vibe app’s connectivity with the Chorus Pro is poor in close range and broken in long distance. The problem isn’t the Bluetooth signal, it’s the app. So it affects every We-Vibe couples vibrator, including the Chorus, Sync 2, Sync O, and others; it’s not something you can fix by buying a different model in the line. You’ll likely have to rely more on the remote and on-toy-button with this or any other We-Vibe toy.

The Bluetooth signal itself is strong. Its open-air range is excellent – I could get about 275 feet from my phone before it dropped – and it handles body interference well. Our test simulates a partner controlling the toy with your body sitting at three increasingly difficult angles between their phone and the toy, and the Chorus Pro stayed connected through all three; many wearables lose the signal at the hardest angle, because water-rich body tissue dampens Bluetooth far more than clothes or walls do. So if it weren’t for the app’s bugs, the Chorus Pro would hold an excellent connection.

Getting the toy and app paired is usually quick. Unlike the original Chorus, which pairs through its remote, the Chorus Pro connects directly with the app: open the app, tap the toy, and it instructs you on what buttons to press. If you switch between several We-Vibe toys or phones, though, re-pairing can turn into a full reset through Bluetooth settings and the app, which is a hassle.

Reconnection is inconsistent and unpredictable: if the signal drops and comes back within 10 to 20 seconds, the app usually reconnects on its own. But during that window it doesn’t tell you the connection was lost, so whoever’s holding the phone is unaware the commands aren’t going through.

If you wait too long, or the disconnect is because the app is frozen, you have to reconnect by hand, which sometimes means holding the on-toy button – awkward when the toy is being worn.

Commands also miss now and then even on a solid connection (setting the two motors to two different patterns is the surest way to trip it), and the controls occasionally freeze until you close and reopen the app.

Long distance is worse. There’s a long-standing bug where both partners show as “offline” even when you’re both sitting in the app, and when that happens you can’t send a control request or start a call at all – the session simply never begins. My partner and I tried every obvious fix, from restarting the app to resetting the toy to reinstalling, and none of them reliably cleared it. And on the sessions that do connect, the controls tend to stop responding within a minute or two.

If reliable app connectivity is your goal, a Lovense toy maintains much better connectivity in both close range and long distance play. Try the Lovense Ferri for clit stimulation, the Lush 4 for G-spot stimulation, or the Dolce for both. Just know these aren’t designed to use during sex.

The Honey Play Box Pearl 2 doesn’t include a physical remote control. A remote lets you adjust the toy by feel – without pulling out your phone. Though there’s other downsides like less depth and no visual feedback to help your partner know what your toy’s doing. If you want to consider options with physical remotes, see our recommendations in these guides:

• best remote and app-controlled vibrators (all types of vibrators)
• best wearable vibrators (wearables only).

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Chorus Pro’s remote control in-depth – its features and its connectivity.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Chorus Pro’s remote is excellent: great features, responsive, usable without looking, and far more reliable than the We-Vibe app. It is the control method I use most often, especially because it reaches the full clit strength, where the app caps it at 63%.

It holds up very well to body-interference too, but that mainly matters if you’ll wear this around while a partner controls it.

The Chorus Pro’s remote features are great – it provides some of the best controls I’ve found in a remote. And since the We-Vibe app caps the toy’s clit strength and gets buggy, the remote is how you’ll likely want to control it.

Power and pattern controls are separate – dedicated + and − buttons move forward and backward through the 11 power levels, and a set of arrows steps back and forth through the 7 patterns. So I never have to cycle past patterns just to reach a power level, the way many remotes make you. And you can adjust the strength of each pattern.

Holding the + button jumps straight to top strength. And, most importantly, the remote reaches the toy’s full strength (the app caps it at 63%).

It’s comfortable to hold, with a soft, squishy silicone coating and buttons are raised enough to find by feel – more so than on the original Chorus – so I can change settings without looking at the remote. It’s larger than the Sync 2’s simpler remote, though, so it’s not as easy to slip in your pocket.

The Chorus Pro’s remote also has a bonus squeeze mode: squeezing the remote harder raises the vibrations – this can be a more engaging way for your partner to control your toy. The soft, air-bladder squeeze is much better than the firm, tiring one on the original Chorus that kept me from using it. It just takes a light squeeze to work. And the remote itself vibrates to follow the intensity of the toy so your partner understands what you’re feeling.

Unfortunately, you can’t turn the vibrations on the remote off. But this vibration-response is only active in squeeze mode.

Outside of the squeeze-function partner feedback, the remote just blinks to confirm a press, so, like most remotes, it won’t tell a partner controlling it what setting the toy is on. The app is better for this when it works.

The We-Vibe Chorus Pro’s remote connectivity is excellent – and it’s much more reliable than the app. Where the app’s software drops commands and freezes mid-session, the remote has none of those problems.

Body interference is the main thing that can weaken a remote’s signal – your body sits in the signal path between the remote and the toy, and these signals are dampened by water-rich body tissue. Our body-interference test simulates this interference at three progressively harder angles, and it runs harsher than typical real-world use; the Chorus Pro held a stable connection through all of them without dropping a command.

Button presses register instantly – the toy reacts the moment I press, with none of the wireless lag some remotes have, and it didn’t drop a single press in our point-blank test. If it does briefly disconnect, there’s no reconnection routine to fuss with once back in range: a quick press of any button wakes the remote and you’re connected again.

That matches the original We-Vibe Chorus and does better than the Sync 2, whose remote can miss commands as the angle gets harder. If you’re controlling your own toy, body interference rarely comes into play. This is more important if you’re wearing your toy around and a partner will be controlling your toy with the remote from different angles and distances.

The remote reached about 325 feet in our open-air range test, measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference – more than most will need. The one time it didn’t reconnect on its own was after I’d walked all the way out of that range; turning the toy off and back on brought it right back.

The on-toy controls are basic and a little uncomfortable, but with a panty vibe you’ll mostly control the toy from the app anyway. The on-toy button is mainly for turning the toy on and off, plus the occasional power step when your phone isn’t within reach or if you want to also use your panty vibe like a handheld toy.

A single button cycles through three power levels and six patterns. Three levels covering the full power range is a reasonable range for button control – fewer settings means fewer clicks to get to your preferred intensity. For the full continuous power range, you have to use the app. I’d also rather the patterns not be on the cycle because that adds more clicks I have to do when trying to adjust the power.

The button itself isn’t raised, so it’s hard to find by feel if you need to press it while wearing it. Pressing it also pushes the toy harder against you, and the prominent peak shape makes that pressure a bit uncomfortable.

Again, those downsides are pretty minor since you’ll mainly use the app.

The Chorus Pro’s on-toy button is basic but works fine – normal for a couples vibrator that also comes with a remote and an app.

A single button cycles through 4 power levels and 6 vibration patterns on the same loop, so dropping to a gentler power means clicking past the remaining patterns. With 10 total settings, this isn’t the most convenient, so if you change settings or patterns a lot, you’ll want to keep the remote handy.

The button itself is easy to find without looking, and sits on the external arm, so I never have to remove the toy to reach it. Pressing it does push the toy against me, but the broad, plush arm spreads that pressure out and keeps it comfortable.

Since I mainly use this toy during sex, it’s one of the few I actually use the on-toy button for. I don’t change power levels frequently, and it beats having to keep track of a second item like the remote or app.

The Honey Play Box Pearl 2 is one of the least secure panty vibrators I’ve tested. It shifts a ton while walking, and it can fall out during heavy activity. For a secure fit, a panty vibrator needs a magnet to secure it to your underwear like the Lovense Ferri and NS Novelties Techno Lucy have.

In bed is the least problematic of the three scenarios. The toy didn’t fall out for me, but I could feel it shifting when I rolled from one side to the other. Any leg movement bumped the toy – it’s fairly wide and has no magnet to keep it in place. The stimulation point mostly stayed on my clit, but the whole setup felt precarious.

When I walked around the house, the Pearl 2 shifted side-to-side significantly, especially on stairs, and the stimulation point drifted off my clit immediately. The toy is also wide enough that I could feel it bumping the inside of my legs as it shifted.

It was even worse during more rigorous activity. It fell out of my underwear during jumping jacks, bounced around during running and high knees, and shifted noticeably during squats. By that point, it’s essentially non-wearable.

In the same price range, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy stayed in place through walking and exercise. Or if you want a secure-fitting panty vibrator that also has an excellent app, consider the Lovense Ferri.

In this section, I’ll cover the Chorus Pro’s adjustability and fit for solo use in bed and wearing around. For its fit during sex, see Hands-Free Use During Sex.

The Chorus Pro has enough adjustability for solo use in bed, but it’s not a good toy to wear around. Walking-around use is more of a bonus for a couples vibrator than the main design goal – and the Chorus Pro is worse at it than other models like the Sync O.

For adjustability, the Chorus Pro has one hinge at the base of the clit arm. That hinge holds its angle well helping keep the clit arm in a good spot: flexible-only couples’ vibrators don’t keep good contact with your clit. The Chorus Pro is stimulating enough for solo in-bed use, but the broad external arm is heavier than the original Chorus or Sync 2, so I can’t cinch it quite as snug. I often end up pressing it in with my hand for stronger contact, especially during sex.

The Pro also drops the original We-Vibe Chorus’s second hinge. I don’t think that hurts the fit much – one good hinge is enough for me – but the original Chorus does give you more configuration options if you want extra adjustability.

Lying down, the Chorus Pro stays in place well. It doesn’t shift or pull out when I roll over, sit up, or lie on my stomach, similar to the original Chorus and Sync 2. The C-shape always feels a little precarious because it sits half-in, half-out, but it hasn’t actually fallen out of me in bed.

Wearing it around is the problem. When I stand or walk, the heavy external arm pulls the toy downward, and I have to push it back into place every so often. Stairs, squatting, and bending make this worse. Underwear keeps it from falling all the way out (if they’re tight enough), but needing to readjust it makes it too distracting for out-of-bed wear. With heavier movement, it gets even less secure: running and dancing tug it down, and jumping maked it fall out completely for me, caught only by underwear.

If you want a couples’ vibrator that’s better for wearing around, the lighter and tighter-fitting original We-Vibe Chorus and Sync 2 are better, and the We-Vibe Sync O is the most secure couples vibrator if you’re willing to give up G-spot stimulation. But if walking-around use is the main goal, I’d skip C-shaped toys and choose a magnetic panty vibrator for clit stimulation or an egg vibrator for G-spot stimulation instead.

The Pearl 2 is one of the least comfortable panty vibrators I’ve tested, whether in bed or moving around.

Lying in bed is the better of the two scenarios. The toy’s prominent peak digs into my clit a bit more than I’d like. The extra pressure can be more stimulating, but it’s also hard to control, so it’s more uncomfortable than helpful. The wider body also touches the inside of my legs whenever I shift positions, so I feel the vibrations in my legs which can be distracting.

It’s worse when I’m up moving around. The same width causing vibrations in my legs feels more pronounced while walking, and because nothing holds the toy steady, the raised peak taps my clit uncomfortably as it jostles around.

In the same price range, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy is one of the most comfortable panty vibrators I’ve tested.

In this section I’ll cover the Chorus Pro’s comfort during solo use in bed and wearing around – for its comfort during sex, see Hands-Free Use During Sex.

In bed the Chorus Pro is very comfortable – similar to other couples vibrators, But its broad, heavy external arm makes it noticeably less comfortable to wear out of bed compared to lighter models in this line.

Lying down, it’s excellent. It sits against my body with even pressure, the silicone is soft, and once the hinge is set it stays put without jostling as I shift or roll – so it never taps my clit uncomfortably when I change positions. Even though the internal arm is slightly fuller than other C-shaped toys, it doesn’t add any distracting stretch while I’m just wearing it in bed.

Up and moving, it’s a different story. The broader, heavier external arm is more noticeable between my legs once I’m walking – enough that my gait feels a little off. And because the weight keeps pulling the toy down, I have to reach down and push it back into place every so often (more on why in Secure Fit & Adjustability) – not painful, just distracting.

So if you want a couples vibrator you’ll also wear around, the lighter Chorus and Sync 2 stay comfortable through walking and cost less, and the We-Vibe Sync O holds its place best of all if fit matters most. But if you’ll mostly use the Chorus Pro in bed or during sex, it’s comfortable.

The Honey Play Box Pearl 2 is quiet, especially once you’re wearing it.

On low power, the vibrations measured at our testing room’s 35 dBA ambient floor – too quiet for our Sound Level Meter to pick up. On high, they stepped up to about 43 dBA, which is still quiet.

The Pearl 2 is in the most-discreet group of wearables in our Background Noise Masking subtest. In this subtest, I wear the vibrator and my partner listens from three feet away while we play pink noise through a speaker at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). He couldn’t hear the Pearl 2 at any vibration strength under any of our three tested volumes of background noise. It is definitely audible in our room without any background audio playing – but every wearable vibrator we tested is, no matter how gentle and quiet the vibrations are.

Behind a closed bedroom door, the Pearl 2 was inaudible on its low and middle settings, but my partner could just barely hear it on high in our silent house. For this part of the test, my partner listens directly outside our bedroom door while I use the toy in bed. I use it like a handheld toy since wearing dampens sound, and some people want the flexibility to safely re-position the toy or move it around. Holding the toy instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. This was his note from our testing spreadsheet word for word: “I had to try hard to hear them and don’t think anyone would in normal use.”

The Chorus Pro is a quiet, discreet wearable – I could barely hear it myself, even on its highest setting. On our sound meter its low setting never got louder than the normal, silent room noise (about 35 dBA), and it rose to only about 42 dBA on high, so it stays quiet across its whole range.

In our Background Noise Masking subtest, it lands in the most-discreet group of wearables I’ve tested. For this test I wear the toy while my partner listens from three feet away and we play pink noise through a speaker at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA).

He couldn’t hear the Chorus Pro at any vibration strength under any of those three background volumes. It’s audible in our room with no background audio playing – but every wearable vibrator I’ve tested is, no matter how gentle and quiet its vibrations.

Behind a closed bedroom door, my partner couldn’t hear it on any setting either. For that part of the test I use the toy like a handheld rather than wearing it, since wearing dampens the sound and some people want the flexibility to reposition a wearable or move it around – holding it gives us the most conservative result.

Most hands-free couples vibrators I’ve tested fall into this same especially-discreet group, including the We-Vibe Chorus and We-Vibe Sync 2. So if you’re choosing between couples vibes, the stimulation, comfort, and fit during sex matter more than small noise differences.

The Pearl 2 has a short battery life. It lasted 55 minutes continuously running at its highest power during our test – typical of panty vibrators in this price range, but well below higher-end options. Since you’ll use the Pearl 2’s lower power levels too, your real-use runtime will likely be longer.

If long battery life is a priority, the Lovense Ferri is a much better option for about $50 more – it lasted 168 minutes during our test, about three times the Pearl 2’s runtime.

The Chorus Pro has a decent battery life. It ran 75 minutes at its highest power during our test, with both motors going – and driving two motors at once is what keeps any couples vibrator from lasting especially long. Even so, it outlasts the cheaper We-Vibe Chorus (65 minutes) and Sync 2 (63 minutes). Just the clit-only Sync O (93 minutes) lasts meaningfully longer in We-Vibe’s hinged couples-vibrator lineup.

75 minutes is plenty for what the Chorus Pro is built for – I never need more than an hour of continuous full-power vibration during sex. But it becomes an issue if you want to wear it around for a long stretch, but its heavy external arm already makes that difficult.

If you want the longest-lasting We-Vibe couples vibrator, the Sync O is the better pick at 93 minutes, though it gives up the internal G-spot arm. If long runtime matters to you more than during-sex use, the Lovense Ferri lasted 168 minutes in our test – but it’s a panty vibrator, not a toy you can wear during sex.

The Pearl 2 is very easy to clean. It’s IPX7 waterproof, so you can wash it under a running faucet with soap and water and it’s safe to completely submerge.

The Chorus Pro is easy to clean. It’s IPX7 waterproof, so you can rinse it under a running faucet or fully submerge it in soapy water without worry – and it’s safe to take into the bath or shower.

However, the IPX4 remote can only resist light splashes. Do not run it under a faucet or take it into the shower; wipe it with a damp cloth instead.

The Pearl 2 feels like it’s good quality. The body is almost entirely silicone with a slightly plush feel around the edges and a shimmery finish, and nothing feels easily breakable.

The We-Vibe Chorus Pro has excellent build quality. It’s coated in smooth, body-safe silicone with plush padding along the edges of the internal arm, and it feels solid and well-made.

I can’t speak to multi-year hinge wear yet, but the adjustable hinge feels sturdier out of the box than the original Chorus’s and holds the angle you set very well. The on-toy button is easier to press, and the remote’s squeeze control uses a soft air bladder in place of the older model’s stiff, all-silicone core.

The Chorus Pro is heavier and a little larger than We-Vibe’s other couples vibrators. That gives it a substantial, premium feel, but the cheaper Sync 2 is built just as well with a smaller design that helps it fit tighter.
