Connectivity
The Hypervolt massager seamlessly syncs with the Hyperice app on your Android or iOS smartphone to help guide you through pre-built or custom recovery programs. Since the app tells you exactly which muscle groups to target and for how long, this is a very useful feature especially for those who are new to the world of massage guns. TimTam does not offer this functionality yet.
Winner: Hypervolt

Battery
The incredible amount of force the TimTam Power Massager Pro generates is reflected in the shortened battery life. At just 1 hour, it is way below other devices in this price range, including the Hypervolt Plus that runs up to 2.5 hours before it needs to be charged. This is something to keep in mind if you plan on taking your massage gun on a longer trip or share it with your teammates.

Conclusion: Hypervolt Plus vs TimTam Power Massager Pro
The biggest sports leagues in the world and superstar athletes including LeBron James use the Hypervolt Plus to improve their recovery, while the TimTam Power Massager Pro was co-developed by MMA legend Georges St-Pierre. So which one is the best for you?
If you want raw power and an amplitude perfect for a deep-tissue massage, then you need to pick up the TimTam Power Massager Pro. The surprisingly lightweight flagship product from TimTam is ideal for MMA artists, fighters, and bodybuilders who want to experience intense percussive therapy and don’t mind the rather limited battery life.
Go for the Hypervolt Plus if you want a strong, yet quiet massage gun that runs up to 2.5 hours. This makes it better prepared for longer trips or if you plan to use your new percussive device on successive patients without having to recharge too often. And especially if you are inexperienced with massage guns and percussive therapy in general, you will welcome the guidance the Hyperice app can offer you.
