Kiiroo Onyx+ Review 2024: Better Than Onyx 2? [Video]

Kiiroo Onyx+

On paper, Kiiroo Onyx+ looks like the ultimate male sex toy. But is it? Well, there’s only one way to find out. Put it through rigorous and comprehensive testing. And since I am very familiar with the older Kiiroo products, I also wanted to know if it’s better than Onyx 2. Follow along to see how well it performs!

Key Takeaways
4.5 out of 5 stars

Testing Onyx+ was a blast! It’s a great toy with amazing functions you can use in multiple ways. It’s easy to use, has a comfortable design, has good build quality, is quiet, and has some of the strongest stimulations I tested. And if you own the old Onyx 2 and wondering if it’s worth upgrading, my answer is a definite yes! The upgraded model is easier to grip, has easier-to-use controls, and stronger motor. Highly recommended!

Who Should Try It? Kiiroo Onyx Plus is excellent for guys looking to experience new sensations with many fantastic technology built-in. Tech heads will also love the connectivity to online content, playing with the app features, and syncing with VR content. I also recommend the Kiiroo product range for partners who spend a lot of time apart, as it’s a fun way to get each other off remotely.

Who Can Skip It? If you’re the kind of person who hates using their phone and has trouble with even the most straightforward tech, this toy may not be for you. You be better off buying a low-tech masturbator like the Fleshlight Universal Launch or The Handy.

You Can Buy It on the official Kiiroo website for $219.99 (10% off) or Shevibe for $219.

What Is The Kiiroo Onyx+?

I’ve eyed Kiiroo masturbators for a while, and after researching, I decided to go with Kiiroo Onyx+. The model is a follow-up from the Onyx2 stroker and promised a few solid upgrades (more on that later).

Why the Kiiroo Onyx+? Well, the primary selling points were the contracting interior rings (all 10 of them!) and the online content sync. I love watching porn, and if this baby could replicate blowjobs from my favorite adult stars, sign me up!

Kiiroo Onyx+ in the box

Said and done, I ordered Onyx+ from the official Kiiroo website, which in my opinion, is the best way to purchase Kiiroo products. The website is easy to navigate, and buying directly from the manufacturer made me feel at ease spending over $200 on an unfamiliar sex toy.

About The Brand

Kiiroo is a company based in Amsterdam (hello, red-light district) focusing on high-quality sex toys. Think Virtual Reality, teledildonics, and remote-controlled couples’ sex toys, and you get an idea of the futuristic sexual experiences Kiiroo wants us to enjoy.

One of Kiiroo’s main objectives is to help couples be intimate when they’re apart. By developing adult toys that sync with Bluetooth, couples can get off even if they’re far apart. A worthwhile cause if you ask me!

Unpacking Kiiroo Onyx+

The company has been around since 2013 and has valuable partnerships, collaborating with established companies like Fleshlight (the discontinued Fleshlight Launch) and OhMiBod.

First Impressions & Features

Packaging

Luckily, I didn’t need to fantasize about my new masturbator for long because it arrived within two days. The box was packed discreetly and bigger than I expected. It reminded me of an iPhone box with a super-premium feel. Nice!

Kiiroo Onyx+

Inside sat the beautifully presented Oxyx+, with a mix of matte and gloss black plastic, minimalist controls, and an excellent curved design. I couldn’t wait to try this bad boy out!

So What’s In The Box?

Along with the main unit, you get:

  • A Micro-USB charging cable (no wall charger)
  • The interior “Real-Feel” sleeve
  • User manual
  • Warranty card
  • Quick setup guide
  • A promo leaflet for online content

Surprisingly, no water-based lubricant was included, which should be a standard for male masturbators at this price point. It seems like a no-brainer – provide a small sample sachet, so the customer feels like they are getting a freebie. They can use the product immediately and may even want to buy that lube brand again.

The sleeve

My new masturbator came with enough charge to turn on and check functions, but after that, I charged it for the recommended 6 hours before my first proper test.

Kiiroo Onyx+ Product Specs

  • Outer Size: 3.5” x 3.1” x 10.4”
  • Hole Size: 2” x 1.77”
  • Internal Length: 6.5”
  • Weight: 2.87 lbs (including the box)
  • Charge Time: 4 hours
  • Running time: 1 hour
  • Battery: Lithium Polymer 1000mAh
  • Outer: Body-safe, non-porous ABS plastic and POM plastic
  • Inner Sleeve: Reusable Skin-Like sleeve

Design

The shape reminded me of a portable speaker like the UE Boom, but lighter. It’s easy to hold in your hand, and the soft matte finish allows a comfortable grip even if you are too liberal with the lube.

Size-wise, I felt like the Kiiroo Onyx+ would suit most size cocks, although if you’re on the extra small side, there may not be enough pressure from the rings when stroking. On the other hand, I’m slightly thicker than average, and the fit felt more natural and comfortable than some of the tighter strokers out there. If you’re worried about not having enough girth to get a tight fit, perhaps try the Lovesense Max 2.

Build Quality

Further, it feels robust, and there aren’t any parts that look fragile to the point they will be damaged with regular use. Instead, it’s the kind of product that could withstand years of abuse without breaking or getting gross. Overall, the build quality looks top-notch.

The charging port

The internal sleeve is high-quality, skin-like, reusable, and body-safe. It had a nice, natural feeling with just enough ridges to intensify the friction when in motion.

Contracting Rings

The Kiiroo Onyx+ uses ten contracting rings that move independently, creating stroking sensations that simulate real sex. They can move up to 140 strokes per minute, which I’m guessing is much faster than my hand.

This motor is 3rd generation for this type of Kiirro product, and it seems they have made a bunch of improvements to make it faster, more life-like, and quieter.

Furthermore, you can watch the rings work by turning the Kiiroo Onyx+ on without the sleeve inserted. I was a bit concerned seeing how hard the rings moved and vibrated. But, when I inserted the sleeve, I realized it has to be that way to have any effect, as the thick latex mellows out the vibrations considerably.

Please watch our video below to get an idea of the noise level and how the ten contracting rings move. Also, note how the rings move differently depending on the automatic mode:

Interactive Content

You can pair Onyx+ with a massive library of interactive content for solo sessions, including 4K video, 3D and VR video (you must buy VR goggles separately), and webcam partner sites. Be aware, though, that most of these features require a subscription to FeelMe.com or other compatible sites.

The body

Couple Connect

The Onyx+ will pair with other Kiiroo or FeelTechnology female toys, such as the Kiiroo Pearl vibrator, OhMiBod Fuse, or another Onyx+. Both partners can sync their devices and feel similar movements and strokes.

How To Use Kiiroo Onyx+?

Interactive Mode

The app can help you and your partner connect and control each other’s Kiiroo toy. For example, you can sync both devices to experience the same mode of sensation or take control of your partner’s device to pleasure them how you see fit.

You can also use the app to control your own Kiiroo Onyx+. Simply swipe the controls up and down to control the ten interior rings, replicating sex with the flick of a finger.

Manual Mode

The manual mode is easy to use and probably the go-to for many people when they don’t have the time or need for the interactive mode. It’s easy to switch between the modes by simply pressing the main power button while switched on.

The Onyx+ controls

The manual mode consists of simply using your finger to rub up and down (either on the device’s pad or on the app control), causing the rings to move in a similar motion. The movements are not perfectly synced, but it’s pretty close. All in all, I was impressed by the accuracy.

Automatic Mode

This function is similar to the way vibrators have various speeds and rhythms.

The modes are:

  • Full Stroke – a nice up-and-down feeling emulating sex
  • Power Up – intermittent fast sections in between the regular strokes
  • Handjob – up and down strokes with a little more variation
  • Storm – Crazy and unpredictable motions. It also seems to be the fastest setting. It ended up being my go-to.

How To Control It With The FeelConnect App?

First, I recommend installing the app on your smartphone. Once installed, you must create a free account to connect to your device via Bluetooth mode. The app has a handy start-up guide and will become your central control station for using the device.

Screenshots from the FeelConnect App

Some of the app features include:

  • QR reader to watch and connect to website content
  • Chat
  • Control panel
  • Partner Connect

My Personal Experience

Ease Of Use & Setup

I was excited about getting started with my Kiiroo Onyx+, but first, I had to do a few things. Maybe I’m getting old, but I was a little overwhelmed trying to get my head around how everything worked together.

First, you’re required to download a free app called FeelConnect. It has a decent user interface and handy information on using the Kiiroo Onyx+ for first-timers like me.

Luckily, connecting the FeelConnect app with my Onyx+ was easy, and I had everything up and running in minutes. In addition, I tried using the porn function from some other devices. For example, I tried my laptop, and it connected quickly.

Furthermore, Kiiroo has a website called FeelMe.com, which has links to many other Onyx+ compatible sites. The website offers Live cams, VR videos (for those with VR headsets), and standard porn channels.

The website has a pretty design, but it was a bit difficult to navigate and understand what I was signing up for. After some searching, I found one free sample video, but it would be great if Kiiroo could offer a sample video with a QR code, so first-time users like myself didn’t have to fumble around so much.

Anyhow, I found a channel that suited my kink needs (Asian MILF’s for those wondering) and signed up for a 3-day trial.

A quick wash and drying of the sleeve is a must. I always do this with new toys – who knows what crap they pick up on the production line. During the cleaning, I noticed the white sleeve is super soft and pliable, and to be honest, I will probably use it on its own as a stroker one day!

The opening with the inner sleeve

After inserting the sleeve and popping the ring back in place, it was easy to test the functions.

I’d read other reviews complaining about how hard it is to release the plastic ring that keeps the sleeve in place. However, this wasn’t something I found to be an issue. It needed to clip in to do its job, and it felt like the right amount of pressure was required to release it.

Manual Stroking

One of the challenges with Onyx+ is deciding which mode to use first. Between the online videos, VR, gaming, manual, automatic modes, and couple play, you’re truly spoilt for choice.

To make matters simple, I decided to use the male masturbator manually first, i.e., sans the app. I’m not used to handling more than one thing at a time. And I was much more comfortable concentrating on the device and its feelings without losing concentration while fumbling with the app.

To control the manual mode, you use the touchpads on the body. It’s very easy. Just slide your finger up and down until you find the setting that’s right for you.

Once I was used to the controls, I settled in with my favorite porn, a towel, and some water-based lube by my side – what a life!

Entry into the Kiiroo Onyx+ wasn’t as tight as I expected, but maybe I’m used to Japanese-style Onaholes, where the opening is tighter and more vagina-like. But after sliding in, it felt great, though, with the walls pressing across my entire shaft and head. Yummy!

I started holding the unit tight all the way to the base of my shaft and used my other hand to operate the slider panel. It took a few turns to get used to not moving the unit up and down and letting the rings do all the work. I played with the controls for a while and found it was an excellent way to edge the head of my cock and hit stroke exactly where I wanted.

However, I found it hard to get a good rhythm when using the touchpad. And I couldn’t get comfortable sliding a finger up and down to get off. All in all, it reminded me more of a gentle blowjob than sex.

If you want to see what Onyx+ looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

Automatic Stroking

One difference from Manual mode is that you only need one hand to hold the unit while the internal rings do all the work.

I flowed through the different auto settings and eventually settled on Storm Mode. It’s by far the most intense and created some serious tingling in my cock when it hit the high notes.

In the future, I will probably use the other modes as more of a build-up and reach an almighty climax with the Storm.

Even with automated stroking, I still felt the urge to use the Kiiroo Onyx+ as a traditional stroker. Maybe my hands are used to the old jerk-off habit that’s hard to kick.

With a more vigorous action on Auto modes, I started to see the appeal of the Onyx+. All in all, the automatic mode was much better, in my opinion.

Connecting to VR Porn

As with most penis milking machines, I needed to get fully erect before insertion. But at first, this wasn’t easy because of all the tech setups I was dealing with.

For example, I had just spent 20 minutes making sure my FeelMe.com subscription was set up, and my FeelConnect app was synced to the Onyx+.

Screenshot from Feelme.com

A surefire boner killer for me is too much preparation, and the mix of website payments, Bluetooth, a phone app, and a new sex toy was not helping me get in the zone.

Luckily, you only need to do these steps once.

I was also mindful that something might disconnect mid wank, and it would be messy fixing any issues with sticky lube hands. Therefore, I grabbed a towel and kept one hand as clean and dry as possible. Preparation is key!

Thankfully, once I set everything up, the device worked without a hitch, allowing me to relax a little, get hard, lube up, and prepare for the Kiiroo Onyx+ experience.

The VR Porn Experience

The FeelMe interactive porn is super high-quality stuff, mostly 4K, and they seem to have a good selection of production companies on board.

As I started watching, I wasn’t sure if the connection had worked, but as soon as we got into the first pants-down BJ scene, the Onyx+ came to life. Stroke by stroke, the interior rings mirrored the hot MILF’s actions well – deep when she went deep, light on the tip when she did the same on-screen.

When there were breaks in the action, I used it as a manual stroker, which kept me hard and was a reasonable variation between the machines’ good work.

Once the intense sex started on-screen, the Onyx+ hit turbo mode, emulating a deep, driving, doggy-style scene with long and quick strokes up and down my shaft. I was impressed by how close the movements synced, with my hands-free masturbator adapting to the slow, fast, hard, and soft parts of the scene with great accuracy.

I only needed one scene to climax, which took me around 15 minutes, which is about average for me (hey, don’t judge, I enjoy my alone time). It’s good to be aware that the device has a 1-hour battery life, which I think is plenty for most users. Just remember to get it back on charge after each use.

I’m not sure how many stroking variations the Onyx+ has, but I probably experienced most of them watching that one scene. So one issue that may arise is getting bored with the same movements. Don’t get me wrong. It’s been enjoyable every time I’ve used it. But I can see that excitement may fade a little if there are no updates to the ring movements.

Partner Mode

Unfortunately, my wife doesn’t own a device compatible with the FeelMe technology. However, after seeing the Onyx+, she’s now taking a serious look at the OhMiBod Esca2 so we can secretly play together while she’s in the office. For now, she just connected to my Onyx+ via her FeelConnect app and took control as I lay back and enjoyed the experience.

It was much more fun with someone else controlling my sensations, and because she knew me so well, I experienced better feelings than the other methods I’d tried.

I can imagine using the partner connect while sitting in a hotel on a work trip, having my partner control my Onyx+ while we’re on a dirty video call. Long-distance sex is an excellent way to spice up your sex life!

Cleaning and Storing

It’s disappointing how many companies overlook cleaning in the design of their products. For something that needs to happen after each use, ease of cleaning is high on my checklist when shopping for a new model. Thankfully, cleaning was fast and straightforward:

  1. You can easily remove the inner sleeve from the outer case, which can be turned inside out and washed with warm water.
  2. Furthermore, you can quickly wipe the outer plastic case with a wet wipe or a slightly damp towel.
  3. And because of the brilliant design, it has no tiny joins or gaps for muck to build up.
  4. Just remember, the case is not waterproof, so no running under the tap!

All in all, it took me only a few  minutes to have my sleeve washed, dried with a towel, and packed away back into the box, ready for next time (which is never too far away).

  • Not waterproof – no shower fun.
  • Charge time – 4 hours charge for 1-hour battery life isn’t that great.
  • UX – The manufacturer could improve the app and online user experience a bit.
  • No free lube is provided.

Who Is This For?

The Kiiroo Onyx Plus is an excellent blowjob machine for guys looking to experience new sensations with many fantastic technology built-in. Tech heads will also love the connectivity to online content, playing with the app features, and syncing with VR content.

I would also recommend the Kiiroo range for partners who spend a lot of time apart. It could be a fun way to get each other off remotely.

Who Is This Not For?

If you’re the kind of person who hates using their phone and has trouble with even the most straightforward tech, this toy may not be for you. But never fear. Below, I’ve listed some of my best automatic male masturbators that may suit you better.

Onyx+ vs. Onyx2

Kiiroo’s previous model, the Kiiroo Onyx 2, drew a bit of criticism. However, the company seems to have listened to the wanking community and corrected many issues with the updated Kiiroo Onyx+.

  • The controls and grip are enlarged and simplified, making it easier to find the right buttons when you have other things on your mind.
  • They also changed the plus signs into arrows, helping newbies understand you need to stroke the pad up and down (not just tap) to get the full stroking action of the rings.
  • The exterior material got a makeover, with a softer matte finish plastic creating better grip and comfort.
  • The offline modes have also changed, allowing a more manual experience when your internet fails or you can’t be bothered with so much tech.
  • The internal motor has been improved, making it even quieter when running. The operating noise is good for such a powerful machine, so there is no need to worry about the neighbors.

With all these improvements, I still think the company could do more regarding user experience on its app and website. They look clean and pretty, but it can still be confusing when dealing with so many different devices to get off. The more user-friendly they can make the app, the more relaxed and satisfied the customer will be.
