Important Update<\/mark><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperice has replaced both the Hypervolt and the Hypervolt Plus with their second-generation models, so they’re no longer available. For insights on the new models, we invite you to read our Hypervolt 2 Review<\/a> and Hypervolt 2 Pro Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are keeping the content below as a reference and future knowledge source.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Welcome to our in-depth Hypervolt vs Hypervolt Plus<\/strong> comparison. If you’ve been following our blog, we recently did comprehensive reviews of both Hypervolts \u2013 Hypervolt and Hypervolt Plus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though we covered as much as we know should be covered, we\u2019ve had questions from readers who want to know the differences between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decided to write this Hypervolt vs Hypervolt Plus post to answer some of these questions because we also believe that there are some fundamental differences that need to be highlighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll try our level best to cover all the nitty gritty details about these two devices and highlight all the important differences. Also, since we are massage gun experts<\/a> \u2013 we have bought and tested tens of these devices \u2013 we\u2019ll mention \u2013 just in passing \u2013 some really good alternatives to both these devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Difference Between Hypervolt and Hypervolt Plus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We highlighted in our Hypervolt Plus review<\/a> that it\u2019s almost an exact copy of the original Hyperice Hypervolt<\/a> \u2013 except instead of a bit of silver at the top, it\u2019s all black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Key<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, in the grand scheme of things (so to speak), these two devices are actually quite different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They don\u2019t do the same thing. Here’s what makes a key difference between Hypervolt and Hypervolt Plus<\/strong>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Hypervolt<\/strong> is a vibrational therapy device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original Hypervolt is a vibrational therapy device<\/strong>. While it does percuss, it does so only on the surface. It only hits about 10mm deep<\/strong> into the muscle tissue. However, the hits happen at a high frequency \u2013 up to 3200 hits per minute<\/strong>. This means that the device can ease muscle tension, heal soreness, get the blood flowing better, and generally improve recovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it won\u2019t do though, is provide deep tissue massage (these massage guns will do<\/a>), which is the main reason why people buy percussion massagers. At least not on those large muscles (think quads, glutes etc.). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hypervolt<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Hypervolt Plus<\/strong> is a percussive therapy device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hypervolt Plus on the other hand is a percussive therapy device<\/strong> (the real thing if you like). That actually now makes it a direct rival to Theraguns<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a more powerful motor (we\u2019ll talk more about this later) and the head travel is about 40% longer<\/strong>. What that means is that this device is capable of providing a deep to the bone massage even on larger muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hypervolt<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

As you can see, these two devices may look the same but they actually do very different things. If you have these key differences down, then you have pretty much mastered what the Hypervolts are all about. It\u2019s especially important to know the differences if you are a serious athlete or a bodybuilder looking for a good recovery tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Each Hypervolt Comes With<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Carrying Case<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We still can\u2019t figure out why Hyperice won\u2019t include a carrying case with any of these two devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody else is doing it \u2013 even the so-called cheaper brands<\/a> have the courtesy to include one with their devices. We\u2019ve often wondered how much it would cost them to include a carrying case. We are not going on a rant here, just expressing our disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"hypervolt<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"hypervolt<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The only way you get a case from Hyperice is by parting with $49. There is however, a small pouch to store the attachments \u2013 meh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIP<\/span><\/span><\/strong> The only case you get with Hypervolt is the head attachment pouch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Attachments<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Both devices have the same set of attachments. There are 5 attachments for each device<\/strong> and we applauded them when we did our Hypervolt vs Theragun comparison<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 5 include: the ball<\/strong>, flat<\/strong>, bullet<\/strong>, fork<\/strong>, and the cushion head<\/strong> attachment. We explained in detail what each one of these does in our respective reviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"hypervolt<\/a>
Both Hypervolts come with 5 attachments.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It suffices to say though, we have absolutely no complaints about the attachments. Every box ticked, as far as those go \u2013 the hard ones are hard and the soft are soft. The cushion head one is the softest, followed by the ball, which has a slight give to it. Also, the plastic quality is great<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a charger. Similar looking in both devices as well \u2013 a detachable cord and a 24V brick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Design Differences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You might recall if you read our Theragun individual reviews<\/a> or comparison articles<\/a> our high praise for Theragun\u2019s tenacity to keep all 4 of their new generation devices unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From materials used, texture, grips, simple fine-tunings, and even the color options, everything is curated so carefully that even though some of those devices look similar from a distance, you\u2019d easily tell one from the other once you get a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"hypervolt<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hyperice on the other hand has been the complete opposite. Their 2 full-sized massage guns look the same<\/strong>. The only thing that isn\u2019t the same, if you care to look, is the difference in color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
