I also considered the importance of extra features, like carrying cases for portability and protection and Bluetooth connectivity and app integration. And I looked for the presence of automatic shut-off timers and programmable percussive settings that tailor massages to specific preferences and needs. Ease Of Use The Therabody Theragun Pro Plus is an incredibly powerful, feature-rich massage gun. It features a market-leading 16mm amplitude and stalls out at 60 pounds of force, second only to the Achedaway Pro. That’s strong enough to reach even the deepest of tight knots.

Massage guns tend to come with a variety of massage heads of all shapes and sizes. Each feels different and are intended for use on different muscle groups.If you need a simple, lightweight and affordable percussive therapy solution, the Cryotex Massage Gun might be for you. We like the percussion range on this device. Even before we started using the device, we couldn’t believe the 640-3200 RPM percussion range. It’s something you rarely see with massage guns (that low range, especially). The body is also not just plastic like the T2, there are some metals here and there that makes it look rather stylish. The quality of the materials used is also better, rather ironic given the price!

These are the intended areas of application for each massage gun head we came across (under various names) in our tests: When evaluating these massage guns, I focused on their versatility and features that extended their functionality. A diverse selection of head attachments allows for targeted relief across various muscle groups, and I looked for massagers that came with multiple options.Battery life has been nothing less than spectacular so far. After the initial charge when we first took it out of the box, we still have about 40% battery life after a week of testing. That’s impressive! Mebak 3 vs Ekrin B37

The handle is also slightly longer and, contrary to the T2, it has rubber all over it to make handling easier. If you’re a runner, I know you know it–that debilitating post-workout muscle soreness that leaves you gingerly hobbling up and down steps after a long run. When you get done with a long or difficult run, excess metabolic waste pools in your leg muscles, causing inflammation and soreness. This painful yet oddly rewarding feeling in your muscles is delayed onset muscle syndrome, or DOMS. Massage gun brands state that their products provide a wide range of benefits, from promoting blood flow and accelerating muscle recovery to improving flexibility and encouraging lymphatic drainage. Until recently, we had never heard of the Mebak 3. Not surprising given the shear number of new massage gun retailers coming out of the woodwork. But, like every massage gun we test, we try to reserve judgement and remain objective until we’ve spent a good week with it. And you know what? There’s really a lot to like about the Mebak 3.If we were to make a comparison, we’d say it falls in the same category as the first Hypervolt – Hypervolt Silver. The new Hypervolt 2 has a 12mm amplitude. Even the smaller Theragun mini (a mini massage gun) has a better amplitude – 12mm – than this gun. The battery has 2600mAh capacity and is advertised to last for about 2-3 hours if used non-stop. We believe for once this is correct and not overstated. You might get more time on the battery if you don’t apply too much pressure or use the device on high speed gears. If your aim is to get some satisfying relief from post-workout muscle strain and to help reduce soreness in your muscles in the days after a workout, the best massage guns are likely to work well for you and are well worth buying. The device weighs 1.85lbs – we’re glad it’s below the 2-pound threshold; lots of devices are heading in that direction. It feels well balanced, and you can instantly tell that most of the weight is on the handle.

Now, this brand is regarded as the Tesla of percussive massage, boasting proprietary QuietForce Technology ™ , refined ergonomics, and unmatched performance. The T2 has an advertised stroke length of 10mm. We did our own measuring with our digital caliper and it is indeed 10mm (or 10.19mm to be precise). For instance, it’s very easy to mistake the T2 with the earlier C2 – even the X6 Pro isn’t very different either. Our guess is that Bob and Brad want their clientele to easily identify their product. Also, the focus may be more on what the device can do rather than what you can see. On top of its core product line, Therabody offers a range of proprietary, innovative attachments and accessories for added convenience and utility. The Taotronics TT-004 is better executed than the Bob and Brad T2. However, what’s even better is that it’s about half the price of the T2!This massage gun built-in 2600mAh rechargeable long-lasting lithium battery. Power a week's worth of workouts with up to 6 hours of massage per charge. Designed with 5 adjustable speeds & 7 head attachments in different sizes and shapes to suit different needs and target specific areas of the body. With up to 3200 percussions per minute, this massage gun can deeply massage into muscle 12 mm. The Taotronics also has one of the widest percussion range we’ve seen – 1000-3000RPM is something awesome! If only they did not overdo it with 20 speeds. Maybe it’s the wide range, but 20 speeds is a bit of an overstretch. The Hydragun, on the lowest of six speeds, was just 42 dB, a whisper,” he said. “But that’s slower and softer than I’d ever use the device, typically preferring level 3 as the lowest setting—49 dB. By contrast, the Hypervolt 2 on the first of three speeds is just 53 db. So, that’s not a massive jump.” On the highest power, however, the Hypervolt 2 (60 dB) was actually a smidge quieter than the Hydragun (62 dB). In any case, both are quiet.
