After trying the device, I was unfortunately disappointed that really nothing has changed between this device and the original Go. The design is different but the overall specs are nearly identical. Same stroke length, same weak stall force. They did fix some of the issues with the noise of the Go, but overall I wish they would have done more.Watch

Hypervolt 2 is the quietest full-size gun tested — significantly quieter than the Theragun Elite at equivalent speed settings. The trade-off is that the straight handle is harder to use for self-reaching behind the back. For users in apartments, shared spaces, or anyone who finds the Theragun's percussion too aggressive, the Hypervolt 2 is the more livable daily tool.Read thread B
