Hyperice gave us the Hypervolt and the Hypervolt Plus, their full-sized (regular) massage guns. Those were unique percussion massagers by their own standards. But, in this Hypervolt Go review<\/strong>, we take a look at their latest addition.<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Hyperice has replaced the Hypervolt Go with its second-generation model, so it’s no longer available. For insights on the new model, we invite you to read our Hypervolt GO 2 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

Meet The Hyperice Hypervolt Go <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Go serves a different niche \u2013 portability and convenience, for those always on the move. It\u2019s a mini massage gun<\/a>. These have become the latest trend in the massage gun world and different brands have been up and about trying to get the mini versions of their mainstream devices into the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some brands have rushed these and as a result the market is flooded by devices that are simply not good enough, even for convenience. But was the Hypervolt Go rushed, or did Hyperice come up with a well thought out mini massager? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theragun launched their Theragun mini device back in May 2020. We got a hold of the device, tested it and gave you our thoughts about it in our Theragun mini review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Go came in late in 2020 (November to be precise). Maybe Hyperice took too long to introduce their mini-gun. Was it worth the wait? Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2022 UPDATE<\/mark><\/strong>: The new Hypervolt Go 2<\/strong> has been released recently. The Go 1 is now 20% discounted at Amazon. Is the new device worth purchasing? Is it better than the Go 1? Read our in-depth, hands-on Hypervolt Go 2 review<\/strong><\/a> to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions and Build Quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First let\u2019s mention (as we always like to do) that the Go doesn\u2019t come in a carrying case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are not really surprised that they didn\u2019t choose to include one. After all their regular sized massage guns don\u2019t come with a carrying case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s always a nice thing to have a carrying case to put your device in. Plus, the Go costs quite a lot and it wouldn\u2019t hurt (in our opinion) to include at least a soft pouch for the device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, the device is in a nice box with the attachments and the charger as the other accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Device<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At first glance the Go is smaller than the two regular sized Hypervolts<\/a> (we\u2019ll say about 30% smaller than the large device). It\u2019s definitely not the smallest<\/strong> mini massage gun in the market, perhaps Hyperice should\u2019ve cut the size a little further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That aside, it\u2019s a fairly standard shape<\/strong> and size. It\u2019s not really innovative (not very unique) but in all fairness it looks really well put together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The body is matte plastic and not metal. It comes with just the one color option \u2013 black<\/strong>. We would\u2019ve loved a color variation from Hyperice though given their esteemed reputation. It\u2019s a negligible thing but it takes things up a notch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a simplified device \u2013 we have come to expect this from mini percussion massagers \u2013 no bells and whistles. In fact the only thing of note is the ring LED battery indicator on the bottom end of the handle that we\u2019ve come to associate with Hyperice devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another embellishment is the speed LED indicators found underneath the handle<\/strong> right around the charging port. An odd place to have those, but you probably won\u2019t need them because there are only 3 speed gears that you can hear and feel as you use the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To turn the device on\/off press and hold the power button for 2 seconds until the ring LED lights up. Something worth mentioning is that the power button is located nicely along the device\u2019s handle. Feels like a real gun trigger. To change the speeds, quickly press the power button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The charger is a normal wall charger, which doesn\u2019t help for convenience in our opinion. However, we noticed Hyperice included 3 adapters for their international clientele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also found a bunch of card-like brochures that Hyperice have made their custom to include with all their devices. They included a quick-start guide, information on how to choose the right attachment, information about their app, customer service info and a full instructions manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The device is designed in the USA<\/a>, but assembled in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
