Hypervolt Go 2 vs Theragun mini 2.0

In this Hypervolt Go 2 vs Theragun mini 2.0 review, we will compare Hyperice’s second generation mini massage gun with its counterpart from Therabody.

There is obviously a difference in design, with the Hypervolt Go 2 copying normal-sized devices and the Theragun mini 2.0 using the triangle shape made popular by its predecessor. But how else do the two models differ, and which one is the better fit for your needs?

This side-by-side comparison will help you find out.

Comparison: Hypervolt Go 2 vs Theragun mini 2.0

Amplitude

The head attachment of the Hypervolt Go 2 travels 10 mm into your muscle tissue, resulting in a vibrational and surface-level type of massage experience. For a more percussive treatment, opt for the Theragun mini 2.0 and its higher amplitude of 12 mm.

Force

Hyperice has equipped their latest mini massage gun with a new brushless high-torque motor which only reaches its limits at around 40 lbs of pressure. This is not only far above the 20 lbs stall force of the Theragun mini 2.0, but also every comparable device we have come across.

Frequency & Speed Levels

Depending on your preferences, you might favor the Hypervolt Go 2’s higher maximum frequency of 3,200 percussions per minute (ppm), or the Theragun mini 2.0’s lower starting frequency of 1,750 ppm. Both models come with three different speed settings.

Connectivity

All of Therabody‘s handheld massagers can be connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth. This allows you to keep track of past sessions, follow warm-up and recover routines developed by health experts and professional athletes, and more.

Battery

Despite having the more powerful motor, the Hypervolt Go 2 also has a superior battery life. It runs for up to 3 hours, compared to 2 hours for the Theragun mini 2.0. That said, with each treatment only taking a few minutes, both will get you through several days on a single charge.

Noise

On their highest speed settings, the Hypervolt Go 2 and Theragun mini 2.0 operate at a noise level of around 60 decibels (dB). This makes them quiet enough to be used in the locker room or office without disturbing the people around you.

Attachments & Accessories

To enable you to better personalize the massage experience to your needs and the muscle group you are about to target next, the Hypervolt Go 2 includes two head attachments. The Theragun mini 2.0 comes with an additional massage head, as well as a soft case.

Weight & Dimensions

In the final round of this Hypervolt Go 2 vs Theragun mini 2.0 comparison, we will have a quick look at the weight and dimensions of the two devices. At 1.0 lbs compared to 1.5 lbs, the Theragun mini 2.0 weighs significantly less. On top of that, it also takes up less space in your bag.

Conclusion: Hypervolt Go 2 vs Theragun mini 2.0

The Hypervolt Go 2 mostly stands out with its impressive stall force. In fact, it is the most powerful mini massage gun we have come across so far. At the same time, it managed to win the battery life category and keep the operating noise at a similar level to its competitor.

The Theragun mini 2.0 convinces with a higher amplitude, which leads to a more percussive treatment. It can also be connected to Therabody’s app, which allows you to follow professionally developed recovery routines. Lastly, it is lighter, smaller, and ships with a case.
