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 Ida Wave’s clit vibration power and rumbliness.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Ida Wave has one of the best clit motors of any dual-stim wearable. It’s got the most rumbly clit motor of the dual-stim wearables I’ve tested, and has great power. It’s strong enough for me to orgasm hands-free, and while some others have even more strength, the broad external arm helps the vibrations reach my clit more effectively than many stronger toys.

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.

The Ida Wave has strong clit vibrations – strong enough for me to orgasm hands-free. Its ten power levels span from a very gentle 1.0 up to 8.5 out of 10, with gradual steps for a comfortable, slow build.

The vibrations transfer really well to my clit too. With hands-free vibrators, the toy’s shape and fit have to naturally carry the motor’s strength to your body. The Ida Wave’s design does this very well: the tight angle of the internal arm pushes the clit arm firmly against my body, and the broad shape distributes this pressure evenly and consistently (and very comfortably).

Of the dual-stim wearables I’ve tested, the Lovense Dolce and Lovense Flexer reach higher raw top powers, but neither delivers their power to the clit as effectively as the Ida Wave.

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 wearables with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because rumbly is what most people prefer. But it’s definitely a personal preference, so consider what you like.

The Ida Wave’s clit motor is one of the most rumbly of my dual-stimulation wearables. Its lowest power setting is extremely rumbly at 46 Hz, the middle of its range is moderately rumbly at 68 Hz, and its top setting reaches neutral at 84 Hz – it never crosses into buzzy territory. My other dual-stim wearables are buzzier: the Lovense Dolce starts rumbly on low (49 Hz) but climbs into extremely buzzy at its top, and the Lovense Flexer is extremely buzzy at every power level.

Rumbly vibrations travel deeper into your body and tend to feel less ticklish than buzzy ones, which is part of why many people prefer them. While I can orgasm just as well from buzzy wearables as rumbly ones, the Ida Wave will be best for those who prioritize rumbliness.

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.

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.

I really enjoy the Ida Wave’s G-spot motion and it hits my G-spot well, but it’s somewhat subtle – like gentle fingering. It adds depth to my orgasms driven by the clit motor, but isn’t the main event on its own.

This rotational motion is one of my favorites, because this angle can direct pressure against the front wall where my G-spot is. Of the motion-based wearables I’ve tested, the Ida Wave hits the G-spot best: the “fingering” motion of the Lovense Flexer actually creates more clit movement than internal movement. And in-and-out thrusting toys like the Lovense Vulse feel good but don’t press on my G-spot specifically. The Ida Wave’s motion is also more stimulating than the Lelo Hula Beads which have too little range of motion to reach my G-spot reliably.

The stimulation is on the gentle side because the internal arm is flexible, so the pressure is light. If you like substantial force on your G-spot, handheld G-spot toys like the We-Vibe Nova 2 or Lovense Nora allow for much more leveraging pressure. But what I enjoy about the Ida Wave is that it’s effortless.

I can let the clit vibrations bring me to orgasm hands-free while the G-spot motion makes the orgasm stronger and more full.

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

Here’s the main conclusion: Lelo’s app is clean, easy to use, and reliable, but it’s basic compared with the best vibrator apps.

Close-range and long-distance controls works well for adjusting intensity, choosing preset patterns, or controlling power through your phone’s movement. But there’s no custom pattern creation, sound sync, multi-toy control, or independent control over each motor. Long-distance connections are reliable, but the experience is bare-bones with no video calling or photo sharing. Bluetooth connectivity is solid during normal use, though heavy body interference can cause dropouts.

If basic, reliable control is enough and you primarily want the Ida Wave for its comfortable motion and rumbly clit vibrations, the app works well. If a feature-rich app and engaging long-distance experience are priorities, go with a Lovense dual-stimulation wearable like the Lovense Dolce or the Lovense Flexer if you still want motion.

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.

The Lelo app’s close-range features are clean, easy to use, and work well – but they’re very basic. It’s essentially a glorified remote control which can be good if you like simplicity.

You can adjust intensity, choose preset patterns, and use Lelo’s unique motion-control feature like their physical remotes provide. But it lacks the advanced features better apps offer, like custom pattern creation, music/sound sync, separate control over each motor, and the ability to control multiple toys at once.

Manual mode is just a picture of Lelo’s remote and + / − buttons to raise or lower intensity. It works well, but with 10 power levels, it takes lots of repeated taps to reach high power. Better apps like Lovense’s feel smoother because you can tap or drag directly to the intensity you want instead of clicking a button several times.

For faster intensity changes, use the Screwing mode. This adjusts the toy’s power based on your phone’s tilt – level for gentle vibrations, closer to 90 degrees for stronger. This is also a great way to control your toy without staring at a screen.

Shaking changes intensity based on how hard you shake the phone, but I think it takes too much energy, so it’s not very useful.

On all 3 screens, you can select a pattern and control its intensity. The pattern names are vague like “Delighted” or “Overjoyed” instead of descriptive like “Waves” or “Pulses”. And the app shows small waveform icons for each motor, but you don’t see them until you’ve selected the pattern. So you have to select and try each pattern to know what it feels like.

It’s missing more advanced functionality other apps provide. There’s no custom pattern creation, no music or sound-reactive control, no multi-toy control, and no individual control over each motor. Each pattern in the Ida Wave’s app assigns a preset waveform to both motors, and some Modes give the clit and G-spot motors different patterns. But any intensity adjustment applies to both motors together, so you can’t turn up the clit vibrations while keeping the G-spot motion slow for example. Better apps like Lovense allow individual control of each motor.

One small annoyance: the app requires an account even for close-range solo use. It usually stays logged in, but it sometimes signs me out, which is frustrating when I’m ready to use the toy.

For simple, reliable close-range control, the Ida Wave’s app is good. But if you want more advanced app features, the Lovense Dolce is a good dual-stimulation wearable with a better app.

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.

Lelo’s long-distance experience is very basic.

It works for offering a partner simple, reliable control of your toy from anywhere in the world, but it doesn’t have the communication features that make long-distance feel more like sharing an experience together: no video or voice calls, no saved partners, no photo or voice messaging, no custom pattern creation, and you can only send text messages when you’re both in an active session.

To start, you create a new Room and send your partner the code outside the app. That’s fine for one-off sessions, but you have to create a new room every time. There are no saved partner profiles, online status, auto-accept settings, or permissions. So with a regular partner, you have to start from scratch each time.

Once connected, the controlling partner gets a version of the same Play screen used for close-range control: they will use the Manual mode, and the Screwing/Shaking motion modes to contol your toy. Lelo does add two useful long-distance controls: a drag-to-position dot for setting intensity quickly, and a voice-control mode that changes power based on sound picked up by the phone’s mic. Both make it quicker to set a specific intensity than tapping + / − repeatedly.

But it lacks lots of communication features that make most long-distance toys feel fun and connecting. There’s only text messaging, with no message history once the room ends, so you can’t go back and reread fun messages. Video or voice calls have to happen in another app, like FaceTime or Zoom. But if you each have a Lelo toy, you can each control the other’s toy.

If long-distance play is a priority, the Lovense Dolce or Lovense Flexer is the better dual-stim wearable. Lovense has in-app video, messaging, saved partners, permission settings, and detailed controls so your partner can make custom patterns. Lelo is fine for basic control-sharing, but Lovense is much stronger for ongoing partner play.

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 Ida Wave’s close-range Bluetooth is good for solo use: pairing is reliable, commands consistently go through, and the range is strong – 215 feet in our test without any blockage. It can be sensitive to too much body tissue coming between the phone and toy, but this doesn’t happen much in normal use.

The first time you connect, you’ll add the toy to your list which takes a few clicks. After that first one-time pairing, I just tap the toy from the My Toy list, tap Play, and it connects within a few seconds.

The Ida Wave stays connected well when the phone and toy have a clear path, but Bluetooth struggles when a lot of body tissue sits between them. In our body-interference test, it handled light body interference but dropped at the two harder angles with more material blocking the signal.

For most people this won’t really be an issue with the Ida Wave. Our test runs harsher than real wear. The Ida Wave’s receiver is in the external arm and often will have a relatively clear shot – especially since this toy is best in bed rather than wearing around where your partner might be at an odd angle like controlling your toy from behind you.

If the connection drops between your phone and the toy, the app won’t automatically reconnect when the signal returns. You have to go back to the toy’s connection page, and press the physical button on the Ida Wave itself to re-pair. Since the button’s on the external arm, it’s not much trouble, but still takes effort.

Connecting in long-distance mode through a “room” is reliable because your partner’s phone isn’t talking directly to the toy. Your phone controls the Ida Wave over Bluetooth, and your partner’s phone connects to yours over Wi-Fi or cell data. As long as your phone stays near the toy and both internet connections are decent, the long-distance connection works well.

One small long-distance quirk: if the controlling partner locks their phone or leaves the app for more than about 30 seconds, they drop out of the Room and have to re-enter the code. The wearer’s connection doesn’t drop – control just pauses until they rejoin.

For most typical uses, the Ida Wave’s connection is solid. But if the best connectivity is important to you, the Lovense Dolce or Flexer is a better pick. They handle tougher body-blocking angles better, and are stronger overall for app-controlled play.

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 Lelo Ida Wave 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.

Like most wearables, the Ida Wave’s on-toy controls are limited by design – you’ll mostly control it through the app. The button is a single-button cycle for 7 vibration patterns, with only one vibration power level accessible on-toy. The rotating internal arm spins at one fixed speed regardless of which setting you select.

For the full 10 power settings and control over the arm’s speed, you have to use the app.

If you do have to use the on-toy button, the button placement is good. On most wearables, pressing the button often means pushing the toy uncomfortably against you or removing it completely first. But the Ida Wave’s button is on the side of the external arm.

It’s comfortable and easy to press, and doesn’t push the toy uncomfortably against your body, making it decent as a backup if you don’t feel like using 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 Ida Wave is the least secure-fitting dual-stim wearable I’ve tested. I still really enjoy this toy, but you can’t wear it around. And even in bed, I have to make occasional adjustments.

The rotating internal arm is small and flexible while the external arm is broad and heavy, so the toy’s own weight slowly works the internal arm out. It’s flexible, but not adjustable, so there are no hinges to actually re-shape the toy to make it more secure.

In bed, the Ida Wave stays workable but never feels fully reliably anchored. I can roll, shift positions, even kneel, but I find myself adjusting it or pushing the internal arm back in a few times per session. The clit vibrations are stimulating, but for the best experience, plan to use your hand every so often to re-position it. If you’ll find that annoying, dual-stimulation toys without motion like the Lovense Dolce are much more secure.

The Ida Wave is not designed to be worn around. When I walked around with it in, I had to keep pushing it back into position; only my underwear stopped it from falling all the way out. It also bumps against the inside of my legs, making walking awkward. With any sort of heavier activity like running or jumping the Ida Wave pulls most of the way out.

If walking around or moving with the toy in is part of what you want from a wearable, the Ida Wave isn’t built for it – and really none of my strong dual-stimulation wearables are easy to wear around. A panty vibrator like the Lovense Ferri or egg vibrator like the Lovense Lush 4 are much more secure. You can even wear both of these at the same time and control them through the Lovense app.

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 Ida Wave is much more comfortable in bed than it is for walking around. Lying down, the slim internal arm is pretty comfortable, and the broad external arm distributes pressure evenly. But once I’m standing or walking, the toy starts to pull out, which can make it pinch uncomfortably.

In bed, the internal arm is slim enough that it doesn’t limit my movement as much as more bulbous internal arms. The external arm is broad enough that I can’t fully close my legs around it, but my legs help to keep it in place. And this breadth helps spread the pressure out instead of pinching, like the narrower Lovense Flexer can.

Walking around is the weak point. As the internal arm slowly works its way out, it can press uncomfortably against my pubic bone. So if mobile comfort is your priority, try a panty vibrator like the Lovense Ferri or egg vibrator like the Lovense Lush Mini instead. Or try wearing them both at the same time for dual-stimulation that’s more comfy to wear around.

The Ida Wave is best treated as an in-bed wearable.

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 Lelo Ida Wave is very discreet – especially surprising since toys with motion are typically loud.

When held in the open air, the decibel readings are somewhat loud on paper – about 45 dBA on low and 56 dBA on high. But once you’re actually wearing the toy, the body dampens both the vibration and the motion noise substantially.

The Ida Wave was fully masked at every power level in our Background Noise Masking subtest. In this part of the 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 Ida Wave at any strength under any of our three tested background volumes – and even when he stepped right next to me to check the sound, he could only pick up the vibrations, not the rotating motion at all.

Behind a closed bedroom door, the Ida Wave was also inaudible. 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 wearables or use some of them handheld. Holding the toy instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. He couldn’t hear the Ida Wave at any setting from behind the door.

The Ida Wave is the quietest of my strong dual-stimulation wearables.

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 Lelo Ida Wave lasted 135 minutes at top power in our testing – the longest battery life of any dual-stimulation wearable I’ve tested. And since you’ll spend plenty of time on lower and middle settings too, real-world runtime is typically longer. That’s plenty of time, even if you sometimes forget to charge between uses.

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 Lelo Ida Wave is very easy to clean. It’s IPX7 waterproof, so you can rinse it under a running faucet or fully submerge it in soapy water without worrying about water damage.

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 Ida Wave’s build quality is excellent. I’ve owned my Ida Wave since 2022, and it’s continued to operate as expected. The silicone is smooth, the shiny plastic top has stayed scratch-free with normal use, and the seams between materials are tight. The flex point between the internal and external arms feels solidly built, with no loosening or signs of strain.

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.
