Comparison: Opove M3 Pro vs Hypervolt 2

Battery
Despite being the more powerful device, the Opove M3 Pro also has the longer-lasting battery. It runs for up to four hours, one more than the Hypervolt 2. That said, with each treatment not taking longer than a few minutes, both devices will last for several days on a single charge.

Noise
On top of the higher battery life, the Opove M3 Pro also has the lower noise level. It operates at a maximum of around 55 decibels (dB), as opposed to 65 dB for its competitor. This makes the M3 Pro a better choice for the office or similarly quiet places.

Weight & Dimensions
In the final round of this Opove M3 Pro vs Hypervolt 2 comparison, we will have a quick look at the weight and dimensions of the two devices. At just 1.8 lb (815 g), the Hypervolt 2 is lighter, and also takes up slightly less space in your gym bag.

Conclusion: Opove M3 Pro vs Hypervolt 2
The Opove M3 Pro is an extremely powerful massage gun, that somehow managed to win the battery life and noise level categories at the same time. It can be better customized thanks to two additional speed levels and one additional massage head. We also appreciate the travel case.
While not as powerful, the stall force of the Hypervolt 2 is still sufficient for all but the most demanding users. Its Bluetooth capability allows you to follow professionally developed recovery routines via the Hyperice app. And for a normal-sized massage gun, it is extremely lightweight.
