Product Information

On a side note, there was a noise issue that earlier users reported. Apparently there was a gasket on the flat head attachment that appeared to be loosely stitched.

Another embellishment is the speed LED indicators found underneath the handle right around the charging port. An odd place to have those, but you probably won’t need them because there are only 3 speed gears that you can hear and feel as you use the device. I was surprised to discover how often I reached for the Hypervolt Go 2. I was worried it would be something I used out-of-the-box and forgot about, but I’ve been grabbing it almost every single day. It was a great way to relieve any post-work tension in my shoulders, and I loved trying it on places I knew I carried stress like my hips and IT band. After installing the app, users are invited to select the sports they usually partake in. This helps the app to serve up specific massage routines. The app can also connect with other apps, such as Strava and Garmin, to get information on your fitness routine, though you can skip this step if you wish.

There’s also a convenient LCD display showing things like current speed, timer, or battery status. The Go doesn’t even have an LED speed indicator. A small 2020 study of the Hypervolt revealed that it increased the range of motion in 16 healthy males on their calf muscles. However, it did not increase muscle torque or strength. The study mentions that the increase in range of motion is similar to what the participants would get from a traditional massage. Hyperice as we know is one of the industry pioneers along with the much famed Theragun (recently Therabody). Some might argue that they have been long-term rivals. Besides, the Go doesn’t come with USB charging capability which is a feature for many devices of its kind. It falls short comparatively in terms of size and weight (it’s bigger and heavier), has only 2 attachments, and generally brings nothing unique to the table.
