Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Hyperice Hypervolt 3 ist eine kräftige Standard-Pistole für den ganzen Körper: 12 mm Hub, 0,9 kg und ein beheizter Aufsatz im Lieferumfang. Für regelmäßig Trainierende mit verspannten Waden und Oberschenkeln taugt er gut. Der Haken: Die Aufsätze sind zu hart, schon die erste Stufe fällt fest aus, und geladen wird über ein eigenes 18-V-Netzteil statt USB-C.

Pros

  • 12 mm Hub für spürbar tiefe Massage an Waden und Oberschenkeln
  • Beheizter Aufsatz bereits im Lieferumfang
  • 0,9 kg mit guter Balance, auch länger mit einer Hand führbar
  • Bürstenloser Motor, laut Hersteller 48 dB auf niedrigster Stufe
  • Drucksensor mit Leuchtanzeige meldet zu festen Anpressdruck
  • Solide verarbeitetes Gehäuse, ohne App voll bedienbar

Cons

  • Aufsätze für empfindliche Stellen zu hart, teils kantig
  • Kein USB-C am Gerät, eigenes 18-V-Netzteil nötig
  • Akku laut Anleitung gut 2 statt beworbener 4 Stunden
  • Schon die niedrigste Stufe wirkt nicht sanft
  • Anleitung klein gedruckt und bei App-Kopplung unklar

Die Theragun Relief ist eine leichte, sehr leise Massagepistole für sanfte Alltagsmassage an Nacken, Schultern und Waden. Mit 621 g und Dreiecksgriff erreichst du auch den eigenen Rücken, die Bedienung per Taste klappt ohne Einarbeitung. Der Haken: 10 mm Hub, wenig Tiefenwirkung, schon bei mittlerem Druck bleibt der Kopf stehen. Wer große Muskeln nach dem Training bearbeiten will, braucht ein kräftigeres Gerät.

Pros

  • Sehr leise, in Tests auf niedrigen Stufen unter 30 dB
  • Dreiecksgriff mit mehreren Haltungen, Schultern und Rücken allein erreichbar
  • 621 g, auch in längeren Sitzungen ohne müdes Handgelenk
  • Eintastenbedienung ohne Display und ohne App-Zwang
  • Weicher Dampener für empfindliche Stellen nahe Knochen
  • Laden per USB-C, Akku nach etwa 90 min voll

Cons

  • 10 mm Hub, kaum Tiefenwirkung an großen Muskeln
  • Kopf bleibt in Tests schon bei mittlerem Andruck stehen
  • Taste am oberen Griff wird beim Halten mehrfach versehentlich gedrückt
  • Nur drei Aufsätze, flacher Kopf und Gabel fehlen, keine Tasche
  • Unter Druck in Tests eher 90 statt 120 min Laufzeit
