Our Verdict
The NS Novelties Techno Rave is a decent cheap egg vibrator, mainly if you specifically need app control on a budget.
It does a lot of things well – its slim shape is very comfortable whether in bed or moving around, its vibrations are exceptionally quiet, and the app works with great connectivity.
The stimulation is the main trade-off. Even though the vibes have moderate strength, they’re extremely buzzy which makes them less impactful on my G-spot. The Love Spouse app is also very basic, but functional. All you do is select between three power levels and six preset patterns – no customization, and there’s annoying ads in the app, but they don’t block you from playing.
If you’re okay with a physical remote intead of an app, the VeDO Kiwi is the better egg at about $14 more – much more rumbly and more stimulating. Or if you need a great egg vibrator with outstanding app control, the Lovense Lush 4 is the better choice. But the NS Novelties Techno Rave is the best app-controlled egg at this price point.
The We-Vibe Chorus Pro is We-Vibe’s newest and priciest hands-free couples vibrator. But it’s a step down at the main thing a couples vibrator is built for – a reliable hands-free orgasm during sex. It’s worth choosing only if you specifically want its new, more-squeezable remote, and a slightly broader clit arm: if you have a higher clit position, or find the concentrated pressure of a slimmer external arm too focused, its wider arm may suit you better.
Its broader, heavier build is what gives a more diffuse feel, but the extra weight pulls it away from my clit as my partner thrusts. So even with the adjustable hinge holding it in a good position, the clit contact during sex is not as tight, so it’s less stimulating than the more tightly-fitting We-Vibe Chorus and We-Vibe Sync 2. Ultimately, while it’s reasonably stimulating and could work for some, the Chorus Pro doesn’t bring me to orgasm during sex hands-free like the Chorus and Sync 2 do. The bulbous internal arm adds some G-spot pressure during penetration to make up for it, but only partly.
It works better for solo use in bed, where the clit arm maintains steadier pressure, but its weight also makes it worse for wearing around. The improved remote is easier to squeeze, and unlike the original Chorus, you don’t need it to connect to the app. Still, the cheaper Chorus and Sync 2 are more stimulating with a partner and better choices for most people.
The Techno Rave is a solid budget pick for wearing around.
It’s in the most-discreet group of wearable vibrators I’ve tested, fits securely through walking, stairs, and heavier activity, and stays comfortable while moving around. The battery life (95 minutes on max power) is also better than other egg vibrators in this price range. And the Love Spouse app, while basic and cluttered with bad extra features and ads, is functional for the core control with great connectivity for close-range or long-distance partner control.
The stimulation is the main downside. While moderately strong, it’s extremely buzzy. This makes it less impactful on my G-spot, but can still feel enjoyable and teasing.
If more stimulation is important to you, the VeDO Kiwi and Lovense Lush 4 are better options. The Kiwi is a far more rumbly remote controlled option in this price range. The Lush 4 is a stronger egg with a far better app.
The We-Vibe Chorus Pro isn’t a couples vibrator I’d wear walking around. Like the rest of We-Vibe’s hinged line, it’s designed mainly for hands-free stimulation during sex. It’s less-secure than it’s siblings like the Sync O, and much worse than wearables designed specifically for wearing around, like egg vibrators and panty vibrators.
The Chorus Pro is one of my quietest wearables, and the moderate-powered clit vibrations feel good while you’re sitting or standing still. But wearing around is really about staying put while you move, and the broad, heavy external arm drags the toy down under its own weight. Just walking is enough to make it pull out, so I have to keep reaching down to push it back into me, and heavier movement makes it fall out completely.
The heavier arm is also more noticeable between my legs than on the lighter Chorus and Sync 2, enough that my gait feels a little off. And the buggy We-Vibe app makes control unreliable, too – though the remote is reliable.
If you’re set on a couples vibrator, the We-Vibe Sync O is the most secure when walking around, but it’s less stimulating during sex. And if wearing around is your main goal rather than during-sex use, a panty vibrator for clit stimulation or an egg vibrator for G-spot stimulation are better designed to move with you. And they’re typically stronger too.
The Techno Rave is disappointing for hands-free G-spot stimulation in bed. It vibrates quietly, fits securely, and feels very comfortable – it’s just not that stimulating.
The vibrations only cover a very narrow range with moderate power – nothing gentle or super strong. Even though there’s decent power, the extreme buzziness of the vibrations keeps them from feeling very impactful on my G-spot. The slim shape, which makes it especially comfortable, also keeps the Rave from applying much stimulating pressure to your G-spot.
If you want to use your egg vibrator to get effortless G-spot stimulation while freeing your hands for other things, there are much more stimulating options. In this price range, consider the remote-controlled VeDO Kiwi. Or if you want to stick with an app-controlled option, the pricier Lovense Lush 4 is excellent. Both are stronger and more rumbly than the Rave.
The We-Vibe Chorus Pro is fairly good for solo hands-free stimulation in bed. However, I wouldn’t buy it specifically for solo play, because you can find much stronger options for less.
This larger clit arm isn’t as problematic when you’re using it in bed alone: without a partner’s thrusts pivoting the external arm off your clit, the hinge holds it in firm, even contact. So the strong, rumbly clit motor delivers the vibrations well. And its broad, diffuse contact is a plus if you have a higher clit position or find more direct clit pressure overstimulating.
In bed it’s as comfortable as a couples vibrator gets, it stays put as you roll over or shift positions, and it’s quiet. However, the G-spot arm only becomes stimulating during sex, when it’s pressed firmly against the G-spot during penetration. Otherwise, it’s hardly noticeable.
If you don’t need to wear it during sex, other dual-stimulation toys like the Lovense Dolce are much more stimulating.
The Techno Rave is workable for occasional long-distance play, and it’s the only egg vibrator with a working long-distance app in this price range. But if you prioritize the long-distance experience, Lovense’s eggs like the Lovense Lush 4 or Lovense Lush Mini are better.
The Rave’s connectivity with the app is great, but the Love Spouse app’s long-distance experience is just basic and spammy. Your partner only selects from preset intensity levels and patterns in the app – they don’t have the precise intensity control or custom-pattern creation better long-distance apps offer. The video call itself and the toy controls during a call work, but there’s annoying aspects like the control freezing whenever you lock your phone or switch to another app – you have to keep the Love Spouse app actively open on your phone.
The in-app messaging during long-distance control is bad with texts being hard to read and no media sharing.
The toy itself is just okay. It’s comfortable, fits securely, and is quiet, but the vibrations aren’t very stimulating.
If you’re on a tight budget, and all you need is to select from preset vibrations while video chatting, the Rave is the best app-controlled egg in this price range. If long-distance play is a priority for you, the Lovense Lush 4 or Lovense Lush Mini are better.
The We-Vibe Chorus Pro is a bad choice for long-distance play. The toy itself is good in bed, but bad to wear around. And the app is too unreliable, which makes long-distance play too frustrating.
The biggest problem is that sessions can fail before they even start: both partners often show as offline even though you’re both in the app, and no troubleshooting reliably solves it, so you can’t start a session.
Even once you connect, toy control can often stop responding within a minute or two. The trouble is We-Vibe’s software, not the toy’s signal, and it runs across the entire line, so even the Chorus Pro (the newest and priciest model) is no more reliable in long-distance than the cheapest or older models.
If long-distance partner control is your priority, go with a Lovense toy instead: the Lovense Ferri for clit stimulation, the Lush 4 for G-spot stimulation, or the Dolce for dual-stimulation. Lovense has a much better app for long-distance play. Just keep in mind these are not designed to be worn during sex.

Hands-Free Use During Sex
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.
Clit Stimulation: Main Takeaways
Like all egg vibrators, the NS Novelties Techno Rave only stimulates your G-spot – not your clit. For clit stimulation, a panty vibrator is the better type of wearable for you. See all our recommendations for the best panty vibrators here.
An egg vibrator is a good option if:
- You enjoy internal vibrations, G-spot pressure, or fullness on its own. (Many people need clit stimulation to orgasm, but internal stimulation can still feel good and be great foreplay.)
- You plan to pair it with clit stimulation from something else.
I can’t orgasm even with our strongest G-spot vibrator alone, but when I pair it with clitoral stimulation, it makes my orgasms feel more full.
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.
Clit Vibrations: Power, Range, and Transfer Effectiveness
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.
Clit Vibrations: Frequency (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.
G-spot Stimulation: Main Takeaways
In the next sections, I’ll cover the Rave’s G-spot motor power, range, and rumbliness in detail.
Here’s the main conclusion:
The Rave’s G-spot stimulation is workable but well behind the more rumbly eggs. Power is decent and transfer is solid for an egg this slim, but the vibrations stay extremely buzzy at every setting, and the range covers only three moderately strong settings – nothing gentle or extreme.
If stim quality is your priority, go with the more rumbly VeDO Kiwi at about $14 more, or the stronger, polished Lovense Lush 4 for about $80 more. Stick with the Rave if savings matters more to you than rumbliness and range.
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.
G-spot Vibrations: Power, Range, and Transfer Effectiveness
The Techno Rave’s G-spot motor reaches a top power of 7 out of 10 – decent raw power, but the vibrations are also extremely buzzy, which keeps them from feeling as full and deep as strong more rumbly eggs like the VeDO Kiwi or the Lovense Lush 4 do.
The range is very narrow. The Rave has only three power levels and the they all sit between 6.75 and 7 out of 10 vibration strength. There’s no gentle warmup settings and barely any difference between low, medium, and high. Most eggs offer much wider power ranges.
Transfer to the G-spot is good. The shape does put some pressure against the front wall where you want it, and the snug fit holds it in good contact through movement. But the buzzy vibrations don’t travel as deep as more rumbly vibrations do.
At a barely higher price, the VeDO Kiwi has far better vibration strength, range, and transfer. Or for the strongest vibrations consider the Lovense Lush 4.
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.
G-spot Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
The Techno Rave’s vibrations are extremely buzzy. Across all three power levels.
For G-spot stimulation, rumbly vibrations matter more than they do for clitoral. With clit vibrators, you’re placing the vibe directly on a highly sensitive area. But G-spot vibrations have to travel farther to reach more nerve-rich regions, and lower-frequency rumbly vibrations travel through your body much more effectively.
I found that vibes above 120 Hz tends to dissipate a lot of intensity (even if the motor is strong). And the Rave’s 150 Hz median sits well into that range.
What partially saves the Rave’s G-spot stimulation is the egg’s shape. Once inserted, the motor presses well against the front vaginal wall, and the physical pressure delivers some of the buzz directly to the G-spot – enough that, for me, the vibrations are still noticeable and enjoyable. But even with the pressure compensation, the Rave doesn’t carry the depth or fullness that more rumbly eggs produce.
For G-spot vibrations that actually travel deep, the Kiwi (remote controlled) is the most rumbly option at about $14 more or the app-controlled Lovense Lush 4 is also more rumbly than the Rave.
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.
App Control: Main Takeaways
In the next sections, I’ll cover the Love Spouse app’s close-range features, long-distance features, and connectivity in detail.
Here’s the main conclusion:
The Love Spouse app’s features are basic and spammy but functional. The core controls (selecting the preset intensities and patterns) work, but the rest of the app is cluttered with broken extras and ads you should just avoid. But the connectivity is actually excellent. At this budget price point the Techno Rave is the best app experience you’ll find for an egg vibrator.
If you want a feature-rich app and the best connectivity available, go with the Lovense Lush 4 for about $80 more – Lovense’s app is the best of any brand. If basic, working app control on a budget is enough, the Rave’s app does the core job.
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.
App Control: Close-Range Features
The Love Spouse app’s close-range features are very basic – the most limited close-range app experience of any egg vibrator I’ve tested. The core constant-intensity control works, so if all you need is an app to step through your toy’s three preset power levels, it’s fine – especially at this budget. But more customized controls you’d expect from higher-end apps are either missing or don’t work well. Consider the Lovense Lush 4 if you care about greater customization.
The one useful screen in the app is Classic Mode, which lists the toy’s preset modes as “Mode 1” through “Mode 9.” Modes 1-3 are the toy’s low, medium, and high constant intensities – the rest are its preset patterns.
That’s the entire intensity-control system – three stepped levels rather than the continuous slider better apps offer. If you want to dial in a feel between low and medium, you can’t; you’re locked into the three steps the toy ships with.
The modes also aren’t descriptively labeled – there’s no “Low” / “Medium” / “Waves” / “Pulses” naming or icon, just the numbers – so you (or a partner controlling your toy) can’t tell what a mode feels like without trying each one. If you just memorize that 1, 2, and 3 are the constant power levels, that’s most of what you’ll need from this app.
Beyond Classic Mode, the app is cluttered with poorly built features that don’t add value. Draw Something is meant to let you drag your finger across the screen to control intensity – but the response is so inconsistent that after ten minutes I still couldn’t figure out how it’s supposed to work, and the vibrations stop the moment you lift your finger.
Music Mode plays the toy along to music, but you’re limited to a handful of pre-installed songs the brand made up – no Spotify, no Apple Music, no audio from your phone – and the vibrations don’t really match the music anyway. Game Mode and a Shaking mode (where you shake your phone to control intensity) are similarly unusable in practice. Ads for the brand’s cam services run throughout the app, often taking up more space on the main control screen than the controls themselves. You don’t have to watch ads before playing, but they’re on the screen taking up space.
If you want anything beyond stepping between three intensity levels or selecting a preset pattern, the Lovense Lush 4 has a much better app for about $80 more. The Lovense Remote app is the best of any brand. If basic, working app control on a budget is enough, the Rave’s app does the core job – just with more clutter to ignore.
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.
App Control: Long-Distance Features
The Love Spouse app’s long-distance features are also basic and spammy, but functional for simple partner control.
Your long-distance partner controls the Rave with the same Mode 1 through Mode 9 preset panel you have during close-range play, with the same limitations: three constant intensities and six unlabeled patterns, no live pattern creation, no slider, no descriptive previews.
Getting into a call is easiest if both of you own Love Spouse-enabled toys. After connecting your own toy, you can use “Friend Control” to add your partner, invite them to control the toy, and start a video call. If only one partner owns a toy, the call option is harder to find: you have to go through the spammy “Wodl” menu, then use the small message icon in the top left to access your friends list.
Once you’re in, the video call itself is pretty good. Video quality is strong on decent internet, your view of your partner fills most of the screen, and the toy controls stay accessible without completely blocking the video feed. Both partners can control each other’s vibes during the call.
The call controls are limited, though. You can flip the camera, switch to speaker, or end the call, but you can’t turn off your camera or mute your mic. There is also an in-call messaging feature, but it is not worth using because messages cover the video feed and remain on screen for the rest of the call.
Texting during toy control is especially poor. Messages appear in a tiny corner window, overflow onto similar-colored buttons, cut off mid-word, and are not saved in chat history. There is a separate full chat with media sharing and message history, but it only works when you are not sharing toy control, which makes it much less useful for long-distance play.
Love Spouse does include anonymous play, similar to higher-end apps like Lovense, but it is locked behind a paywall.
If long-distance play is a major priority for you, the Lovense Lush 4 is a far better choice – its app gives your partner rich control in long-distance mode, with a clean interface that works well. For basic control over your partner’s vibrations during a video call, the Techno Rave can work fine.
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.
App Control: Connectivity
The NS Novelties Techno Rave has excellent app connectivity for nearby use and reliable long-distance control, as long as both partners keep the Love Spouse app open.
Pairing is mostly automatic. The first time, you’ll need to enter a four-digit binding code from the instruction manual, which is annoying but only required once – so don’t throw away the manual before pairing. After that, the toy auto-connects whenever you open the app and turn the toy on.
One Love Spouse quirk is that any powered-on Love Spouse toy nearby will auto-connect to any phone running the app, and all connected toys respond to the same vibration commands. For couples who both own Love Spouse toys, this means either partner can control both toys at once. Some couples may enjoy that; others may prefer more independent control.
For close-range Bluetooth control, the Techno Rave is very reliable. In our standardized stress tests – including timed control, locking and unlocking the phone, switching apps, and navigating around the app – the Rave had zero command failures. Commands went through when expected, and the connection held through normal phone use.
It also performed well in our body-interference testing. Because water-rich body tissue can weaken Bluetooth signals more than clothing or walls, we test each toy in increasingly difficult body-blocked positions. The Rave held its connection the entire time.
Open-air Bluetooth range is also excellent. With a clear line of sight, the Rave stayed connected up to about 325 feet before dropping. That is far more than most people need for solo or same-room partner play, and it gives the toy a comfortable buffer for real-world situations where walls or body interference may reduce range.
Long-distance control is reliable too, with one important limitation. The toy connects to the wearer’s phone over Bluetooth, while the two phones communicate over Wi-Fi or cell data. When both partners have a decent signal and keep the app active, sessions stay connected, commands go through reliably, and switching between Wi-Fi and cell data works smoothly.
However, if the toy-wearer locks their phone or switches to another app, the controlling partner temporarily loses control. The session stays active, and the toy keeps running at its last setting, but vibration changes won’t go through until the wearer returns to the Love Spouse app. Better long-distance apps, like Lovense’s, allow partner control to continue through normal phone behavior like screen-locking.
Overall, the Techno Rave’s connectivity is excellent for nearby play and solid for long-distance use if both partners keep the app open. But if you want long-distance control that works without coordinating around the app staying active, the Lovense Lush 4 is a better choice.
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.
Remote Control: Main Takeaways
The NS Novelties Techno Rave 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.
Remote Control: Features
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.
Remote Control: Connectivity
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.
On-Toy Controls
Like most egg vibrators, the Rave’s on-toy controls are limited by design – the toy is inserted during use, so you’ll typically use the app.
A single button cycles through three constant power levels and the six vibration patterns – Modes 1 through 9 from the app. There’s no minus button, so dropping back to a lower power means cycling through everything else first. You also can’t adjust the intensity of the patterns.
The button is on the end of the antenna, so you don’t have to remove the toy to press it (some eggs have the button on the toy’s body). The raised texture is easy to find by feel and has a clear click feel.
The on-toy button works fine as a backup, or if you’ll occasionally use the egg like a handheld vibe on your clit, but the app is the main way you’ll use the Rave.
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.
Secure Fit & Adjustability
Like most egg vibrators, the NS Novelties Techno Rave fits securely whether you’re in bed, walking around, or doing heavier activity. The secure fit is an advantage of egg vibrators over other kinds of wearable vibrators – once inserted, an egg’s bulbous shape tends to hold it easily in place.
When wearing the Rave, for me it naturally settles slightly to one side rather than feeling like it’s centered. For me that doesn’t reduce the stimulation. And once it’s in place, it doesn’t shift at all from that spot no matter how active I’m being. Pulling firmly on the antenna is the only way to remove it.
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.
Comfort
The Techno Rave is a very comfortable egg – slim, with a flexible antenna, and equally comfortable whether you’re in bed or moving around the house.
The smaller size means I don’t feel much pressure on my bladder or against my vaginal entrance once it’s inserted. The antenna pull cord is comfortable and flexible, and sits against my body without getting in the way. It does transfer some of the motor’s vibration up the cord, which can register as a mild tickle if you’re sensitive to it – I find it noticeable but not distracting. It’s not stimulating, just a bit tickly.
When walking around the house, the size doesn’t restrict my movement and the antenna stays in a comfortable spot. The vibrations in the antenna are also less noticeable when walking than sitting.
It’s a good option for comfort on a budget. But the Lovense Lush Mini is one of my favorite small eggs because it’s more stimulating while remaining extra comfortable.
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.
Noise
The Rave is one of the most discreet wearable vibrators I’ve tested. It is extremely quiet, fully masked by normal background noise, and inaudible through a closed door.
In our decibel test, the Rave was too quiet for our sound level meter to register on both low and high power. The room’s ambient noise was 35 dBA, and the Rave never measured above that.
It also passed our background-noise masking test. While I wore the toy, my partner listened from three feet away as we played pink noise at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes – 56, 62, and 68 dBA. He couldn’t hear the Rave at any vibration strength. However, like every wearable vibrator I’ve tested, it is still audible in a fully silent room.
For the closed-door test, my partner listened from outside the bedroom while I used the Rave in bed. I held it like a handheld toy instead of wearing it, since wearing can dampen sound and handheld use gives a more conservative result. He couldn’t hear it on any power level.
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.
Battery Life
The Rave ran for 95 minutes on its highest power setting in our test, which is solid for a budget egg. Most eggs at this price last closer to an hour. However, it still falls short of higher-end eggs, which often run for two hours or more per charge.
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.
Cleaning
The Rave is easy to clean. It’s fully IPX7 waterproof, so you can rinse it under a running faucet or fully submerge it in soapy water without worry.
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.
Build Quality
The Rave’s build quality is decent for a budget egg. The silicone body is silky smooth against the skin, and nothing about the toy itself feels easily breakable. But the antenna pull cord is slim and limp, which leaves me a bit nervous about how it’ll hold up over time, though I haven’t seen any performance issues so far.
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.
