The We-Vibe Chorus is one of the few couples vibrators that reliably brings me to orgasm hands-free during sex. Alongside the Sync 2, it’s the most stimulating couples’ vibrator.

Like all wearables, it does take more effort than with a handheld vibrator. Handheld toys let you press exactly where you want, apply the exact pressure you want, and use much larger, stronger motors. So you may prefer a handheld like the Lovense Hyphy or a wand vibrator if maximum intensity matters more than being hands-free. But the Chorus works for me because it gets the fit right.

The two hinges let me change the toy’s shape to fit my body better. So the external arm stays firmly on my clit even as my partner thrusts, and I get the consistent clit stimulation I need to orgasm hands-free.

I can only orgasm with adjustable couples vibrators. Most cheaper models are only flexible, not adjustable, including the We-Vibe Sync Go, Sync Lite, and Romp Join, and even premium models from other brands like the Dame Eva, Lelo Tiani 3, Tiani Duo, and others. Without being able to change the shape to fit my body better, all those toys shift off my clit during sex and I cannot orgasm with them.

The G-spot arm also adds more during sex than I originally expected. The internal vibrations are mild, but the bulbous arm gets pushed into my G-spot during penetration and adds stimulating pressure that makes it easier to orgasm. That extra front-wall pressure makes the Chorus more stimulating during sex than the Sync O. But the G-spot arm’s still slim enough for comfortable penetration while wearing it – it adds a little extra tightness, but it’s not too much of a stretch. I don’t experience pinching, poking, or pain in any position.

The Chorus is not the only good option for hands-free stimulation during sex, though. I get just as good of a fit with the Sync 2 and orgasm just as easily with it, even though it only has one hinge. So choose the Chorus if you want to spend more for the wider adjustment range and better chance of finding your ideal fit during sex. Choose the Sync 2 if you want to save about $50 and likely get a very similar during-sex experience.

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:

1. 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.)
2. 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’s clit vibration power, range, transfer effectiveness, and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The We-Vibe Chorus is tied with the Sync 2 and original Sync for the most stimulating clit vibrations from a couples’ vibrator – I orgasm equally easily hands-free with any of those three. The Chorus stays in secure contact with my body and is more rumbly than most wearables, both of which help the vibrations reach my clit effectively.

Its only moderately powerful compared to stronger panty vibrators or handheld vibrators, so those are more intense options if hands-free stimulation during sex isn’t your priority.

The Chorus’s clit motor has a broad power range, starting gently and reaching 6.75 out of 10 on high. That’s moderate for wearable vibrators overall, but tied for the strongest hands-free couples vibrator I’ve tested – the Chorus, Sync 2, and original Sync offer nearly identical clit stimulation.

During sex, its strength and fit make it one of only a few couples vibrators I orgasm with easily and reliably. The Chorus’s two hinges keep the external motor pressed against my clit instead of shifting off like flexible models do. The second hinge may help more people get this stimulating fit, but for me, the Chorus and Sync 2 transfer vibrations to my clit equally well, and both are more stimulating than the Chorus Pro.

For solo wear or wearing around, the clit motor still feels stimulating because the hinges keep it in decent contact. But without penetration adding pressure, it feels more moderate. I’d treat those uses as a nice bonus – if wearable clit stimulation outside sex is your main goal, a stronger panty vibrator is usually a better fit.

Couples vibrators are generally less intense than other wearable clit toys like panty vibrators and handheld vibrators. Handhelds also let you control exact placement and pressure. If you typically need substantial intensity, you may prefer a handheld toy like the Lovense Hyphy or a wand vibrator.

Compared with other couples vibrators, the Chorus is one of the strongest and most effective. Cheaper couples vibrators like the Romp Join, Sync Lite, and Sync Go – and even premium options like the Lelo Tiani 3 – have weaker vibrations and no adjustable hinge to keep the clit motor positioned well.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them. But this is still a personal preference – many people enjoy buzzier vibrations too.

The Chorus’s clit motor is unusually rumbly for a wearable. Its lowest setting is extremely rumbly at around 40 Hz, the middle settings stay moderately rumbly, and the highest setting becomes only moderately buzzy at 98 Hz. But it has enough power there that it still feels deep and impactful.

The Sync 2‘s clit vibrations are just slightly more rumbly, but the difference is minimal.

The Chorus’s 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 feel more stimulating even though it doesn’t apply as much pressure as I’d normally get from a handheld vibe.

The Chorus also has a noticeable low, rhythmic tapping sensation layered over the steady vibrations, making the clit motor feel deeper and more rumbly than its raw frequency suggests. It stands out most on the lower and middle settings – I wish the tapping stayed stronger at the highest settings, but it becomes more noticeable when both motors run together – especially with one arm on low and the other on high.

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’s G-spot power, range, transfer effectiveness, and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The We-Vibe Chorus’s G-spot stimulation is minimal on its own, but helpful during sex.

Its internal motor is mild and buzzy, which is normal for hands-free couples vibrators since the arm (and motor) has to stay small enough for comfortable penetration. But during sex, the bulbous internal arm gets pushed more firmly into my G-spot as my partner thrusts, adding stimulating pressure, and directing those mild vibrations where they count.

So if you want strong, rumbly G-spot vibrations for solo play, choose an egg vibrator or larger dual-stimulation toy like the Lovense Dolce instead. But for a couples vibrator worn during sex, the Chorus’s G-spot arm adds helpful front-wall pressure and makes orgasming easier for me than clit-only models like the We-Vibe Sync O.

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 We-Vibe Chorus’s G-spot motor is very mild on its own, reaching only 2.5 out of 10 which is normal for a hands-free couples vibrator.

It’s much weaker than dedicated G-spot egg vibrators or large dual-stimulation wearables like the Lovense Dolce which are not intended to wear during sex.

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

On its own, the G-spot motor feels weak and not especially G-spot-focused. It’s about 9% weaker than the Sync 2’s G-spot motor, but it doesn’t really make a difference, since the vibrations are not what’s adding to the stimulation.

During penetration, the Chorus’s bulbous internal arm gets pushed more firmly into my G-spot as my partner thrusts, and that pressure makes the stimulation feel much more impactful. That’s why the Chorus feels more stimulating to me during sex than clit-only models like the Sync O, even though the G-spot motor itself is mild.

And it’s why the Chorus feels more stimulating than the slightly stronger Lelo Tiani Duo or Harmony. Because the Tiani’s slim arm doesn’t press into my G-spot like the Chorus’s does.

If strong solo G-spot stimulation is your priority, choose an egg vibrator like the Lovense Lush 4 or We-Vibe Jive 2 instead. If you’re looking for a couples vibrator to wear during sex, the Chorus’s bulbous G-spot arm provides the helpful front-wall pressure you want during PIV.

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 We-Vibe Chorus’s G-spot vibrations are extremely buzzy – typical for hands-free couples vibrators since the internal motor has to be very small.

While its lowest settings are neutral, the middle and higher settings quickly become extremely buzzy, with a median frequency around 172 Hz. When using the Chorus for solo stimulation, the buzzy vibrations mean you won’t feel the G-spot stimulation much. Buzzy vibrations don’t travel through your body as effectively, and the G-spot is less sensitive than the clit. So if the vibrations are buzzy, you typically need more power to compensate, which the Chorus’s G-spot arm lacks.

But I don’t consider this a major problem for the Chorus’s main purpose – stimulating you during sex. When my partner thrusts, the internal arm pushes into my G-spot and that pressure is what makes the stimulation meaningful, while the vibrations only add subtle enhancement.

So if you want strong, rumbly G-spot vibrations on their own, larger egg vibrators are better. But for a couples’ vibrator worn during sex, the Chorus’s G-spot arm still adds enough pressure and stimulation to make orgasming easier for me – no couples’ vibrator’s G-spot arm is strong and rumbly.

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 We-Vibe app’s close-range features, long-distance features, and connectivity in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion: The We-Vibe app is buggy and bad – far behind Lovense’s app. But for hands-free stimulation during sex, I usually prefer the physical remote or on-toy button anyway. The app is a downside, but not a dealbreaker because We-Vibe still makes the only couples vibrators I reliably orgasm with.

The Chorus app does avoid one Sync 2 problem: it can reach the toy’s full intensity. But the app still freezes, has inconsistent dual-motor control, and has long-distance bugs that can block you from connecting at all.

If app control matters more than hands-free stimulation during sex, go with a Lovense toy instead: the Lovense Ferri for clit stimulation, Lovense Lush 4 for G-spot stimulation, or Lovense Dolce for dual stimulation.

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 so buggy. If it worked properly, it would be a decent option for simple intensity control and preset patterns. But the current experience is frustrating.

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 vibration and a few favorite patterns without digging through menus. On both screens, you can adjust the clit and G-spot motors together or control them independently. The design is simple and convenient in theory.

This is one area where the Chorus is better than the Sync 2. The Sync 2 only reaches about 73% of its true top strength through the app, even when the app shows 100% power. The Chorus does not have that power-cap bug – the app can reach the same top intensity you get from the remote or on-toy button.

But the Chorus still has the broader We-Vibe app problems. The control dot sometimes freezes or stops responding, especially when you try to control the two motors independently. So while the app gives the Chorus its full power range, it still is not reliable enough to be my main control method during sex.

There are 10 preset patterns you can choose from in Single or Multi Vibe mode, each with a name and waveform icon. Some are easy to understand, like Pulse and Wave, while others are less clear. There’s also a Playlist feature for stringing patterns together, but you can’t feel what you’re building as you make it, so it’s mostly guesswork.

Custom pattern creation is also clunky. It takes too many taps to get to, and you cannot easily feel and refine the pattern while building it. Lovense does this much better.

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

Touch Sense is a Chorus and Chorus Pro specific app 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 with your partner. But it works inconsistently and most people prefer a steady vibration anyway, so it’s more of a novelty than helpful.

For close-range control, I’d use the Chorus’s remote instead of the app. If you mainly 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 to wear during sex. We-Vibe makes the only good couples vibrators I can orgasm with, so if that’s your goal, the Chorus is still worth choosing – I’d just skip the app and use the remote.

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 design is decent in theory, but persistent connection and control issues make long-distance play unreliable. If long-distance control matters, there are no good couples’ vibrators – you’re better off with a different type of wearable. The Lovense Ferri for clit stimulation, the Lovense Lush 4 for G-spot stimulation, or the Lovense Dolce for dual stimulation are better long-distance options.

Long-distance control in We-Vibe’s app is supposed to work like close-range control. Your partner gets the same Single Vibe, Multi Vibe, and Touch screens to control your Chorus, and you can control their toy the same way. You can also take back control of your own toy mid-session without ending the call, which is a useful feature.

Unlike with the Sync 2, your partner can use the Chorus’s full power from the app when control is working. But that is a small advantage inside a bad long-distance experience. The control dot can still freeze or stop responding, and long-distance has extra bugs over close-range control. Most importantly, both partners often show as “offline” even when you’re both in the app, which prevents you from starting a session at all.

Even when it does connect, starting a video call is clunky. You have to send and accept four separate requests: the call, camera access, control of your toy, and control of theirs. The video feed is blurry and choppy compared to Lovense.

Chat works as a basic messenger, with text, photos, voice notes, and video clips. We-Vibe does let you save multiple partners, but it doesn’t offer Lovense’s anonymous one-time control links or auto-accept settings for trusted partners.

For long-distance play, go with one of the Lovense toys mentioned above. Just keep in mind these are not designed to be worn during penetrative sex.

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 Chorus’s app connectivity is poor. It’s an app issue, so it affects all We-Vibe’s couples vibrators including the Sync 2, Chorus Pro, Sync O, and others. You’ll want to control the Chorus from the remote.

The Chorus’s Bluetooth signal itself is strong. It has reasonable range and handles body interference well. But the app causes unreliable reconnection, missed commands, and long-distance bugs that make long-distance play unusable. If app control is a priority, the Lovense Ferri, Lush 4, or Dolce are much more reliable. But these are not designed to be worn during sex.

The Chorus is more annoying to pair than the Sync 2 and other We-Vibe toys because the app connects through the remote, not directly to the toy. Initial setup requires several button-presses on the toy, the remote, and the app. It works, but it feels needlessly long. Another great reason to just use the remote instead of the app.

After initial pairing, reconnecting is usually easier: you swipe to the Chorus in the app and tap Connect. The app shows the full setup walkthrough again, but if you’ve used the Chorus recently, you can usually tap through it in the app without actually repeating the button routine on the remote.

The problems get worse if you switch between several We-Vibe toys or connect the same toy to multiple phones. Then quick-connect can often fail, and the fix typically requires deleting the toy from the app, forgetting it in your phone’s Bluetooth settings, and pairing it again.

Since the Chorus pairs through the remote, you also need the remote nearby any time you want to use the app. With the Sync 2, the phone connects directly to the toy, so you can leave the remote behind.

Reconnection during play is inconsistent. If the signal drops and returns within 10-20 seconds, the app usually reconnects automatically. But during that gap, the app may still look connected, so your partner can be “controlling” the toy while nothing is actually happening. If you’re out of range longer, you may need to reconnect manually, sometimes by holding the on-toy button – awkward if you’re wearing it.

Even when the connection holds, commands often miss. On the Single Vibe and Multi Vibe screens, the toy may not respond when you drag the control dot, or it may freeze up completely. These misses are intermittent, but frequent enough that I don’t trust the app.

The Chorus holds up to body interference well. Our test simulates nearby partner control where your body sits at three increasingly difficult angles, between the phone and toy. Many wearables lose connection at the hardest angle because water-rich body tissue weakens Bluetooth more than walls or clothes. The Chorus stayed connected through all three. Its open-air max range was also excellent at 175 feet.

Long-distance play is more problematic than the close range issues. Both partners often show as “offline” even when they’re in the app, preventing sessions from starting at all. When sessions do connect, control commands often stop affecting the toys. Both bugs happen regularly, and there’s no reliable fix.

For dependable app connectivity in close-range or long-distance play, the Lovense Ferri, Lush 4, or Dolce are better choices – but We-Vibe is the only brand with good couples’ vibrators.

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’s remote features and connectivity in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Chorus’s remote is excellent. It’s a reliable alternative to the poor app.

It’s plush, has great core controls, is responsive, and very reliable. It also handles body interference extremely well – better than the Sync 2’s remote. Though the squeeze-control bonus feature is more a bonus feature than genuinely useful.

The We-Vibe Chorus has one of the nicest physical remotes of any couples vibrator I have tested.

It has separate controls for power and patterns, so you do not have to cycle through every pattern just to step the intensity back down. That alone makes it much better than many basic remotes. And you can adjust the intensity of the patterns too.

The Chorus’s remote has a squeeze control feature to help your partner feel more engaged than just pressing buttons. As they squeeze the remote harder, your vibrations will get more intense. It’s an engaging idea, but it takes a pretty firm squeeze which gets tiring fast, so we don’t really use it. The Chorus Pro’s updated remote made it really easy to squeeze, but unfortunately the toy itself is worse.

The buttons aren’t as easy to tell apart by feel as the Sync 2’s, so you may have to look down more. But the remote is coated in a really plush, luxurious-feeling silicone that’s very comfortable in your hand, though larger than the Sync 2’s simpler remote.

Like most remotes, the Chorus remote does not give the controlling partner feedback about what setting the toy is on. Apps are better for visual feedback, but the Chorus’s app is not good enough for that to outweigh the remote’s reliability.

The Chorus’s remote connectivity is excellent as long as you don’t need a super long range.

Button presses feel responsive, with no distracting delay. The remote responds immediately after being idle, and commands go through reliably.

It also handles body interference really well. When a partner is controlling a wearable, your body sits in the path between the remote and the toy – and water-rich body tissue weakens Bluetooth and RF signals. Our body-interference test simulates this at three progressively challenging angles.

The Chorus remote stayed perfectly connected through every angle, and our test runs even harsher than real-world conditions. It did better than the Sync 2’s remote which missed some commands there during this test.

The remote reached about 40 feet in our open-air range test, measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference. That’s shorter than many wearable remotes we’ve tested, but it still easily covers same-room use. For sex and nearby partner control, the remote is one of the Chorus’s strongest features.

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’s on-toy controls are basic, which is normal for a couples vibrator that includes both a remote and an app.

A single button cycles through 4 power levels and 6 vibration patterns on the same loop. To drop back to a lower power you have to click past the remaining patterns to get there. With 4 power levels covering the full range, the cycle is at least short enough for occasional use.

The button itself is easy to find and press: it’s visible, has a distinct feel, and sits on the external arm so you don’t have to remove the toy to adjust it. This toy has the older design of We-Vibe’s button, which is a slim oval, that’s a bit harder to press than their updated round design but still very doable.

While the controls are limited, I actually like using the on-toy button during sex. It’s nice to just reach between my legs and click when I’m warmed up and ready for more intensity, rather than setting the remote down somewhere nearby and finding it again when I want to change settings.

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.

This section covers the Chorus’s fit for solo use in bed, walking around, and general wear. For fit during sex, see Hands-Free Use During Sex.

While you can wear the Chorus around, it’s best thought of as a bonus. It stays put in bed and through light movement, but it’s less secure and weaker than wearables designed specifically to wear around.

The Chorus’s adjustability is its biggest design strengths. It has two hinges: one near the external clit arm and one along the internal arm. You adjust them into position, and the toy holds that shape. That is different from a merely flexible vibrator that bends but springs back – you can’t make a flexible toy fit tighter.

Adjustable hinges are essential for a C-shaped couples vibrator to fit securely. The clit arm of purely flexible models like the Romp Join, We-Vibe Sync Lite, Sync Go, and Lelo’s Tiani line shift easily off my clit during normal movement – and they often fall out entirely. With the Chorus, I can tighten the fit so the external motor stays where I need it.

The second hinge gives the Chorus more customizable range than the Sync 2 which has one hinge. I personally get a similarly secure fit from both and think one hinge is sufficient for a secure fit. But the Chorus is the safer pick because it can be set in a wider variety of configurations.

Clothes help hold the Chorus in place. I am able to walk around, go up and down stairs and do light activity without it shifting around or feeling like it’s falling out.

But heavier movement like jumping up and down can cause it to start wiggling loose. The Sync O is the only couples vibrator I’ve tried that remains securely in place across all activity levels and stimulates well during sex (though not quite as well as the Chorus).

But if you mainly want something to wear around (not use during sex), I’d look at an egg vibrator or magnetic panty vibrator instead.

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.

Here I cover the comfort during solo use in bed and wearing around – for comfort during sex, see Hands-Free Use During Sex.

The We-Vibe Chorus is an extremely comfortable C-shaped couples vibrator, whether in bed or while walking around.

Because of its adjustable hinges, it fits snugly enough to stay tight to my body, but it does not pinch, poke, or press so hard that I want to take it out. Since it fits snug in bed, it doesn’t tap my clit uncomfortably as I change positions. And the silicone material feels really comfortable too.

It’s also comfortable when walking around since the internal arm is slimmer than large egg vibrators and the external arm contours my body and provides comfortable broad coverage. It doesn’t jostle from side to side at all and it’s slim enough between my legs that I don’t have to alter my walk.

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 has excellent noise levels.

On low power, it measured at our 35 dBA ambient floor – too quiet for our sound level meter to pick up. On high, it reached about 41 dBA, which is still very quiet. Its clit motor also has a deeper, rumbly sound that blends into the room more easily than sharper, buzzier vibrations.

It performed extremely well in our Background Noise Masking test. In this test, I wear the toy while my partner listens from three feet away, with pink noise playing at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes. He couldn’t hear the Chorus at any vibration strength with any of the background noise levels playing. Without background audio, it is audible in the same room – but every wearable vibrator we’ve tested is, even the quietest ones.

Behind a closed bedroom door, the Chorus was also inaudible. For this part of the test, I use the toy in bed while my partner listens from outside the door. I hold it like a handheld vibrator instead of wearing it, since wearing a toy dampens sound and holding it gives us more conservative results. He couldn’t hear the Chorus at any strength – no fan, music, or other masking noise needed.

Most hands-free couples vibrators we’ve tested fall into this same especially-discreet group, including the slightly cheaper 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 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 lasted about 65 minutes continuously running both motors at full power in our testing.

That is enough for most sex and solo play sessions, but it is short if you want to wear the toy around. The We-Vibe Sync O lasted a little longer at 93 minutes and is easier to wear around.

The battery life does not bother me much for the Chorus’s main use. I do not usually need more than an hour of continuous full-power vibration during sex. But if you want a toy you can wear around for a long time, a panty vibrator like the Lovense Ferri will last much longer (168 minutes in our test).

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 We-Vibe Chorus is easy to clean.

The toy itself is IPX7 waterproof, so you can clean it under running water and completely submerge it.

The IPX4 remote can only resist light water splashes. You should not take the remote into the shower or clean it under a running faucet. Clean the remote with a damp towel.

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 feels premium. Our original unit lasted about five years before developing issues and we had to replace it. While not perfect, it’s a pretty reasonable amount of time.

The toy is coated entirely in smooth, plush silicone, and the body feels well-made. The remote also feels high quality: its buttons are easy to press and have a noticeable click-feel.

After about 5 years, the internal arm stopped vibrating, and we had to buy a new Chorus. Both hinges had loosened a little over that time. They still held well enough to use, but it always clicked one tick looser than my preferred tighter position. Our newer purchase holds more tightly.

So the Chorus feels like a premium toy, and I consider its long-term durability generally solid, but it’s not indestructible.
