Comparison: Hypervolt GO vs Theragun mini
Amplitude
Let’s start this comparison by looking at the amplitude, which is also referred to as stroke length. The difference of 2 mm might not sound like a lot but actually makes a big difference. In fact, those 2 mm make the Hypervolt GO and the Theragun mini two fundamentally different products.
Everything below 12 mm gives you more of a surface-level, vibrational type of massage that helps your muscles relax and increases blood flow. But if you are looking for a percussive type of massage (like you might be used to from your bigger massage gun), you will want to go with an amplitude of 12 mm or above which the Theragun mini offers you.
Winner: Theragun mini

Force
Obviously, no one can expect these compact and lightweight massage guns to be as powerful as their bigger competitors. But at a stall force of 15.0 lbs for the Hypervolt GO and 20.0 lbs for the Theragun mini, the impact is still strong enough to help you release tension in your shoulders during a long day at the office or to loosen your forearms when you sweep across them during a round of golf.
Winner: Theragun mini

Frequency & Speed Levels
Round 3 in our Hypervolt GO vs Theragun mini competition sees the Hypervolt GO pick up its first point. At 2400 to 3200 and 1750 to 2400 percussions per minute respectively, both devices reach the exact same frequency as the Hypervolt Plus and Theragun PRO. Three different speed levels allow you to adjust the frequency to your needs.
Winner: Hypervolt GO
2400 to 3200 ppm, 3 levels
1750 to 2400 ppm, 3 levels
Connectivity
Unlike their flagship counterparts, neither the Hypervolt GO nor the Theragun mini can be connected to your smartphone. Therefore, you will have to make your adjustments to the frequency on the device itself and miss out on the preloaded routines that make the adjustments for you.

Battery
The next round also ends in a draw, as the Hypervolt GO and the Theragun mini both run up to 2.5 hours before you need to find a plug socket. Considering that one round of treatment only lasts a few minutes, you should be able to use both devices for more than a week on one charge.
