Massage Guns
Percussion massage guns compared on the specs that decide how deep they hit and how usable they are day to day: how far the head travels (amplitude), how fast it strikes, how many speed settings you get, how long the battery lasts, how heavy it is to hold overhead, and whether it has Bluetooth app control.
 Achedaway Pro | 7.2 A serious deep-tissue hitter that therapists rate, though a thin owner base and no app keep it a step behind the household names. | 16 mm | 2,800 ppm | 5 | 3 hrs | 2.6 lb | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Bob and Brad C2 Massage Gun | 7.1 The sensible everyman pick, a quiet, well-built gun from two physical therapists that thousands of owners rate highly for what it costs. | 10 mm | 3,200 ppm | 5 | 3 hrs | 1.5 lb | |
 Bob and Brad Q2 Mini Massage Gun | 5.9 Truly pocket-sized and pleasant on surface tension, but the shortest throw in this table means it never reaches the deep muscle the bigger guns do. | 7 mm | 3,000 ppm | 5 | 2.5 hrs | 0.95 lb | |
 Ekrin Athletics B37 | 8.4 Reviewers keep naming it the value benchmark: near-flagship power, build and battery with a lifetime warranty, for a fraction of what the premium brands charge. | 12 mm | 3,200 ppm | 5 | 8 hrs | 2.1 lb | |
 Ekrin Athletics Bantam | 6.8 A genuinely pocketable gun with grown-up build quality and a lifetime warranty, better made than most minis even if the short throw limits deep work. | 10 mm | 3,200 ppm | 3 | 6 hrs | 1.1 lb | |
 Hyperice Hypervolt 2 | 7.3 Beautifully made and genuinely quiet with a slick app, held back only by three speed steps and a stroke that trails the deep-tissue specialists. | 12 mm | 2,700 ppm | 3 | 3 hrs | 1.8 lb | |
 Hyperice Hypervolt Go 2 | 6.3 Carries Hyperice's premium finish into a travel size, but dropping the app while keeping the premium price makes it hard to pick over cheaper minis. | 10 mm | 3,200 ppm | 3 | 3 hrs | 1.5 lb | |
 opove M3 Pro Massage Gun | 7.8 A long-running favorite that quietly out-values the big names: strong, quiet and backed by one of the largest satisfied-owner bases in the category. | 12 mm | 2,500 ppm | 5 | 8 hrs | 2.43 lb | |
 RENPHO Active Massage Gun | 6.2 The dependable budget default: a short stroke and no frills, but light, reliable and cheap enough that thousands of owners forgive its limits. | 10 mm | 3,200 ppm | 5 | 2.5 hrs | 1.5 lb | |
 RENPHO Power Bluetooth Massage Gun | 7.5 Punches well above its price with app control and real depth, which is why it lands on more sub-$100 shortlists than anything else here. | 12 mm | 2,600 ppm | 6 | 4 hrs | 1.9 lb | |
 Therabody Theragun Mini (3rd Generation) | 7.0 The mini to buy if you want Therabody's feel and app in a bag-sized body, as long as you accept a premium price for something this small. | 12 mm | 2,400 ppm | 3 | 2.5 hrs | 0.88 lb | |
 Therabody Theragun Prime (6th Generation) | 7.6 The Theragun most people should actually buy: the same deep stroke and app as the Pro in a lighter, drop-resistant body, minus the therapist-grade hardware. | 16 mm | 2,400 ppm | 5 | 2 hrs | 2 lb | |
 Therabody Theragun PRO (5th Generation) | 8.0 The genuine professional tool here, favored by therapists for its rotating arm and swappable batteries, though the price only pays off if you use it most of the day. | 16 mm | 2,400 ppm | 5 | 2.5 hrs | 2.9 lb | |
 Therabody Theragun PRO Plus | 8.1 Therabody's do-everything flagship layers heat, cold and PEMF onto the best-reviewed percussion in the class, but you pay flagship money for extras most people never switch on. | 16 mm | 2,400 ppm | 5 | 2.5 hrs | 3.6 lb | |
 Therabody Theragun Relief | 5.0 Therabody's name on an entry model that gives up the app, the speed range and the depth, leaving cheaper rivals to outperform it on nearly everything that matters. | 10 mm | 2,400 ppm | 3 | 2 hrs | 1.37 lb | |
 Turonic GM5 | 6.6 A lot of gun for around a hundred dollars, with unusually long battery life, even if it feels less refined than the brands it undercuts. | 11 mm | 3,200 ppm | 20 | 7 hrs | 1.68 lb |
How the AI score works, and who wrote it
A language model rated these, not a test lab. Every score from 1 to 10 is an AI assessment of how good the product is against the other 16 in this comparison, formed from the specifications we verified plus the published lab reviews and owner reception found while researching each one. Nobody at Slopsheets listened to, wore or plugged in any of it.
It weighs the things a spec table cannot show: how a product is actually reviewed, how well the software works, build quality, and what you get for the money. That is deliberate. An earlier version of this column was pure arithmetic on the table and it ranked a bundle of cheap boxes above a class-leading single unit, because counting hardware is not the same as judging it.
Treat it as an informed starting point and read the sourced comparison, not as a verdict. The score is relative to this comparison only, so it means nothing across categories, and it carries no price, star rating or review count. Every specification behind it is sourced and checked; the score on top of them is opinion.
