Hypervolt GO vs Theragun mini 2.0

In this Hypervolt GO vs Theragun mini 2.0 review, we will compare Hyperice’s first-generation mini massage gun with Therabody’s second-generation counterpart.

Obviously, there is a difference in design – the Hypervolt GO uses a slightly angled handle, while the Theragun mini 2.0 incorporates the brand’s unique triangle shape. But how else do the two devices differ, and which one is the right fit for your needs?

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

Comparison: Hypervolt GO vs Theragun mini 2.0

Amplitude

With an amplitude of 10 mm, the Hypervolt GO offers a more vibrational and surface-level type of massage experience. The head attachment of the Theragun mini 2.0, on the other hand, travels up to 12 mm into the muscle tissue and thus feels more percussive.

Force

The brushless motor inside the Hypervolt GO reaches its limits at around 15 lbs of resistance. Therabody‘s device can deal with up to 20 lbs before it begins to stall, making it the more powerful mini massage gun of the two.

Frequency & Speed Levels

Depending on your preferences, you might favor the higher upper frequency of 3,200 percussions per minute (ppm) of the Hypervolt GO, or the lower starting frequency of 2,400 ppm of the Theragun mini 2.0. Both models come with three different speed settings.

Connectivity

Unlike the Hypervolt GO or its own predecessor, the second generation Theragun mini can be connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth. This allows you to keep track of past sessions, follow warm-up and recovery routines developed by professionals, and more.

Battery

Running for up to 2.5 hours compared to around 2 hours for its competitor, the Hypervolt GO has the upper hand when it comes to battery life. That said, considering that each treatment session lasts only a few minutes, both models will last for several days on a single charge.

Noise

Hyperice‘s first generation mini massage gun operates at a maximum noise level of around 55 decibels (dB). The more powerful Theragun mini 2.0 can reach a level of up to 60 dB, giving the Hypervolt GO a slight advantage in quiet places like public transport or the office.

Attachments & Accessories

To allow you to better personalize the massage experience to your needs and the muscle group you are about to target next, the Hypervolt GO includes two interchangeable head attachments. The Theragun mini 2.0 has an additional massage head, and ships with a soft case.

Weight & Dimensions

In the final round of this Hypervolt GO vs Theragun mini 2.0 comparison, we will have a quick look at the weight and dimensions of the two devices. Weighing in at 1.5 lbs, the Hypervolt GO is heavier, and also takes up more space in your bag.

Conclusion: Hypervolt GO vs Theragun mini 2.0

As expected, the Hypervolt GO could not keep up with its more recently released competitor in most categories. That said, it features a better battery life, operates at a slightly lower noise level, and is obviously the more budget-friendly option of the two.

The winner of this comparison, however, is undoubtedly the Theragun mini 2.0. It has both a higher amplitude and stall force. On top of that, it includes an addition massage head, ships with a case for safe transport and convenient storage, and is more lightweight and compact.
