The Hypervolt Plus, made by Hyperice, is a handheld massage device that provides increased circulation to different muscles via percussion vibration. That percussion vibration yields sensation that relaxes muscles and relieves soreness and pain caused by tension in the muscles. That tension could be related to stress, excessive exercise during workouts or even from a lack of muscles usage. It is a great device to use before and after workouts as well as before going to sleep. The Hypervolt Plus is a fantastically made product that you can truly feel is well made as soon as you hold it in your hand. It is lightweight, easy to hold with one hand and feels good to the touch with a nice soft black matted finish. You can see and feel the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into making this device. It device allows you to give yourself or a loved one an effective massage to relieve muscle pain or relax without getting tired and or wearing out your fingers. I was concerned about the price at first, as I have seen simlair devices on the market for far less and appeared to offer more bang for your buck. I consider myself conservative or frugal in spending my hard earned money. But I am willing to spend more for something of a better quality. I’ve learned over time that you get what you pay for and often times I have spent, or should I say lost, more money trying to get the best deal on a cheap product, instead of focusing on what really matters. Unfortunately, on several occasions, I have ended up spending more money and time on several cheap products when I could have simply purchased what I knew was the better quality product and it would not only have been more effective, but would have provided me with longer lasting benefits. Life lessons that have paid off with this device as it meets my need for quality accompanied with long lasting benefits. I can honestly say that from the time I’ve unboxed my device until the writing of this review, I am beyond convinced that this device is not only worth the money, but that each and every day that I’ve used it, I begin to understand why it has the suggested retail price, which is close to four hundred U.S. dollars at the time of this review. The design screams experienced engineers and the build screams quality American made. Nonetheless, what you really want to know is if this thing really works. Short answer… YES IT REALLY WORKS!! I experienced almost immediate relief from muscle soreness the first time I used my device. I have been using it the past five days and I haven’t felt this good in a very long time. Since I have been using it, I am able to move around more easily without pain and stiffness and feel more ready for my workouts and more relaxed after my workouts. Now, whenever I feel a slight pain I immediately think of my hypervolt plus and use it to get rid of the pain. In the past when I was in pain, I used to think about the pain medicine I would take, but now I think about what attachment I can use that will be the most effective. All of the attachments feel great. Each time I use one I find that it becomes my new favorite. All of them are useful and serve a purpose. I know that I can count on my hypervolt plus to decrease muscle pain and provide some relief. I am able to use this device on my entire body and it feels so good knowing that in just a short amount of time, I will feel the pain relief I am desperately craving. Additionally, it’s quiet enough that you are able use it and have a conversation with someone in person or on the phone without the other person ( or the listener on the other line) being disturbed by the noise. You can use it while watching television and if someone else is in the house sleeping, no matter how quiet your house is. It is even quiet enough that you can use it out in public or in an office setting. This is a device for everyone in the house no matter how active or lacking in physical activity exists. It will make you feel better and want to workout more or make you want to start to workout or just move around if you’re not very active. It gets the blood moving around in the area on your body that you massage so that you feel less stressed, more fluid in movement, and warmed up ready to move around or relax and be able to chill, and even sleep better and pain free. It is gentle enough on lower speeds that is satisfying for the entire body, but have higher speed that can me used for a tough massage when wanted. As aforementioned, the Hypervolt Plus is made of good quality. But the quality doesn’t just rest there, nor does it begin or end there. The Hypervolt Plus is wrapped in quality packaging that not only secured it in place but protected it from damage. The moment you open the box, you notice there’s something different going on. You see and feel quality packaging, great color schemmes that are pleasing and easy on the eyes for viewing and reading. This is not your typical box you recycle or throw away. No space in the box is unused and you’re able to locate all of the instructions, device, and attachments with ease. It is packaged in a way as if there is someone close to you that is planning on presenting it to you. You can also keep the box to store your devices, when it’s not in use; unless you purchase a carry case. The box is so nice, I wish they would have used this concept for the carrying bag and built it into the packaging. I am however happy that they provided a nice small bag for carrying the attachments. The box was filled with a lot of useful informational instruction cards to get you familiar with the your new device and get you started right away. The cards were user friendly, filled with great pictorial illustrations that made it easy to follow along as you unpackaged your Hypervolt Plus. I appreciated the “get started here” card that provided step by step instructions. The cards also directed to me download an optional free app to be used on a cell phone or tablet with my device. The app made the process even easier. The app is so user friendly and makes connecting and using your device a breeze. The app had introductions by actual users of the products that are professional athletes as well as how to videos. The app is an extra benefit that frankly isn’t getting its’ due props. The bluetooth capabilities on they Hypervolt is underplayed, but should not be undervalued. You’re able to connect your Hypervolt to your phone and have it automatically use your health data to recommend the best use before and after workouts based on your activities. It uses your already stored health data on your iOS phone and is ready to recommend routines immediately. This is another added benefit as other workout devices may require you to use the device for a couple weeks to learn your workout habits before it will make recommendations. The app allows for you to follow along with several guided videos or have it automatically adjust speeds as it guides you along a specific routine. There are a lot of videos that show you how to achieve your desired result and if you are unsure where to begin, there is a section that allows you to pin point where you are experiencing pain and then it recommends an activity to help reduce that pain. I like having the ability to use the app to locate where I was having pain, in my case my IT/Band and hips (I didn’t know this before the app so I’m learning more about my muscles via this free app) and being able to view selected recommended guided videos (auto or manual) to target that area for pain relief. I simply can’t say enough good things about this app. The more I learned about my Hypervolt, the more excited I got. The hardest part about getting started was waiting the recommended six hours to charge the battery. The Hypervolt is easy to plug in and charge. It doesn’t require that you have to look closely and line everything up. You simple plug in the included wall power adapter at the bottom of the battery and you are good to go. After the initial recommendation to change it for 6 hours, it changes back up fairly quickly and always seems to have enough charge to complete your percussion session. The illuminated green light at the base of the battery is helpful in helping you keep up with the charging process and the four green lights at the back of the main unit allows you see an approximate of how much power is remaining. I’ve discovered that it’s best to power my device overnight while I’m sleeping. The two hours in battery life is more than enough power for warm ups before and after my workouts, recovery after my workout and any routine maintenance before I go to bed. And if I’m feeling any trigger points of pain or soreness in my muscles, I still have more than enough power to use it throughout the night until I’m feeling better and ready for bed. In closing, Yes, Yes, & Yes. Yes it works, Yes it’s worth it, and Yes you need this. Why else would the National Basketball Association (NBA) name Hyperice as their official recovery technology partner, if the Hypervolt Plus didn’t work? As for me, while some still go to sleep with their teddy bear, I‘ll continue to go to sleep with my HyperVolt Plus right by my side... just in case.

It’s amazing, it’s easy to use horrible cordless, rechargeable, and very high-quality, comfortable, high, silica gel, grip, brushless, strong motor, it came with protective, , you will never go wrong with it

This massage gun is has got to be the best percussion instrument I’ve ever used! It’s extremely quiet, especially on the lowest setting so I don’t need to adjust the noise level of my voice to carry on a conversation. The stroke length is significantly deeper than the of the standard hypervolt, allowing for deeper muscle tissue penetration, which for me as a daily weightlifter, is extremely necessary for optimal recovery! I have extremely tight hips from weightlifting and the tightness in my hips tends to put a strain on my lower back. I do tons of stretching, which definitely help, but the hypervolt, allows me to get so deep into crevices of my muscles that I normally would never be able to reach, and I even I could reach, couldn’t apply that much pressure in the way it performs. It’s becomes such a crucial component in my recovery process, not just for muscle recovery, but pain relief in regards to tight hips/lower back! Highly recommend. Due to the shape of the gun, as opposed to some competitors I’ve used (ie. Theragun) it’s very easy to use, and there is no awkward grip/handling which really makes the process feel very natural, and capable of being used one-handed if needed, however I prefer to use 2 hands for added pressure.

TLDR: Despite not indicating it in their warranty information on the Hyperice site, apparently they will not send you a replacement for a defective unit, even when purchased from an authorized retailer like Best Buy. The best they will offer is to have the unit serviced if you ship it to them. A lengthy and inconvenient process. So if you still want to give the Hypervolt a try, or any Hyperice product for that matter, I suggest you purchase it directly from their website so that you can avoid the headache I'm dealing with now, after only a few weeks of ownership! Well, the Hyperice Hypervolt Plus was the absolute best massager I've purchased...for the first month of owning it... It's powerful, smooth running , and really quiet compared to any other heavy duty handheld percussion massager I've owned (and being a sufferer of Chronic pain and illness, I've tried many over the years). It was a life-changing experience at first. So much relief of pain, soreness and stiffness. So, after a few weeks I started experiencing some odd behavior with the battery and battery life degraded surprisingly quickly. Average run times became much shorter and I experienced problems with both the battery gauge on the unit and the rgb led ring on the battery itself. Then the unit started making an odd noise coming from the motor. A strange scratchy sound from within. Then i noticed that the unit and battery started getting much warmer than usual. This all developed towards the second half of first month of ownership. Too late to return to Best Buy (only 15 day return policy) for a replacement. I thought it was ridiculous that this massager I just paid $477 for (bundled with the carrying case) was already malfunctioning. I figured surely this is my bad luck striking again. I received a defective unit and hopefully Hyperice will make it right,send me a replacement, and all will be well. Boy, was I wrong... I reached out to customer service, only to discover that unlike MANY other companies out there, Hyperice doesn't seem to care if you bought one of their products from an authorized retailer, such as Best Buy! There's nothing I could find on their website saying that they can't send you a replacement unless you purchased it directly from their website, but that's what a customer service agent told me. The best they could offer me was to have me ship it out to them and have them perform repairs on it. I explained how this would be a massive inconvenience for me. Im disabled. I spend most of my days stuck in bed, in pain. Having a reliable massager often dictates how my day will go. Some days I can't even get out of bed until my wife helps massage away the intense pain and soreness. I can't afford to be without a massager for the duration of time it takes to send the unit out, wait for them to recieve and repair it, and then send it back to me! I gotta have a working massager. I don't even own a backup unit right now. The response I received was unflinching and sounded very rehearsed. They wouldn't even take into consideration how quickly this expensive unit ceased to function properly. Couldn't offer any better resolution. Because "that's our policy." I think they need to elaborate on the warranty details on the website then. I don't see anything in the details saying they can only do replacements if you purchased directly from them. This is a frustrating situation for me. Part of me really hates having to leave such a poor review, because while the Hypervolt was functioning properly it really gave me more relief than any other massager I've used in the last 20 years. I guess that's why im so utterly frustrated over this, because I felt like my lengthy quest for a reliable massager was finally over, and now my hopes abd dreams have been dashed once again. So if you want to give their products a try, I suggest you order directly from them in order to avoid the massive headache that im dealing with now.

Good to have! But be careful as it is incredible powerful.
