10 Best Massage Guns of 2025: Reviews and Buying Guide

In our experience, the Hypervolt 2 Pro shines with its incredible battery life, lasting up to 3 hours, and high stall force, making it ideal for deep tissue massage. Although the lack of a carrying case and its weight make it less portable, the inclusion of five interchangeable attachments offers versatile muscle relief. Despite its steep $349 price point, it’s a solid choice if you prioritize power and endurance over portability.

During our review, the Theragun Prime Gen 5 impressed us with its powerful, customizable percussive therapy, backed by a solid grip for ease of use. Although the noise level is higher than expected, reminding us of an electric toothbrush, its plush array of features justified its strong 8/10 rating. If you can overlook the volume, it's a great option for those looking for robust muscle recovery tools.

For serious deep-tissue work, the Bob and Brad D6 Pro delivered the strongest punch in this group and earned an 8.5/10 in our testing. Its hefty stall force (around 85 lbs), six speeds at 1,500–2,500 PPM, and five heads—including a Cushion tip—brought relief to quads, glutes, and back, while the ~3‑hour battery handled multiple sessions. It’s heavier and gets noticeably louder on higher gears, so it’s not the most travel-friendly. Still, at $249.99 with a carry case, it’s a pro-caliber value versus quieter, lighter but weaker picks.

Travelers will appreciate the Hypervolt Go 2’s compact build and roughly three-hour battery, which earned it a 7/10 in our testing. Three speeds (2,200/2,750/3,200 PPM) and quiet operation make quick hotel-room sessions easy, though its shallower 10mm stroke won’t dig as deep as full‑size guns. Out of the box you only get Flat and Bullet heads, and there’s no Bluetooth or app guidance. At $129.99, it’s a reliable, TSA‑friendly grab‑and‑go option, but power-seekers should consider the higher‑scoring D6 Pro.

In our testing, the Ekrin Athletics B37v2 was our top-rated pick, earning a 10/10 for pairing quiet power with an exceptional ~8-hour battery. Its roughly 56 lbs of stall force, five speeds (1,400–3,200 ppm), and four locking attachments (Standard, Flat, Bullet, Fork) deliver true deep-tissue relief, and the hardshell case makes it travel-friendly. At $249.99, it undercuts the Hypervolt 2 Pro while lasting far longer, though the thicker handle can feel big for smaller hands and there's no Bluetooth/app guidance.

On a tight budget, the Lifepro Sonic gets the job done for casual relief. During our review, it scored 6/10: six speeds, 1,200–3,000 PPM, and four heads (Standard, Flat, Bullet, Fork) give you enough options to target sore calves or the back after a long day. Battery life ranged from roughly 3–6 hours in our experience, and the build and attachment fit felt a bit flimsy under heavy pressure. At $59.99, it’s a sensible starter, but power users should look to higher-scoring models like the D6 Pro.

In our review, the Hydragun earned a stellar 8/10 for being exceptionally quiet, ideal for discreet use. While its weight might pose challenges for prolonged use, its versatility in attachments and performance at a reasonable $249 price make it a solid mid-range choice for users seeking powerful yet whisper-quiet muscle relief.

If price is your main concern, the Homedics Therapist Select is incredibly cheap at $26.47, but our review scored it 4.5/10 for good reason. Five speeds (1,450–2,600 PPM) and a simple, rechargeable design are easy to use, yet the single ball head and 15‑minute auto‑off cap sessions quickly. We also noted a 2024 recall on some units for overheating while charging—worth checking before you buy. With about 2.5 hours of battery life, it’s fine for light, occasional use, but far less versatile than higher‑rated picks.

Looking for value with thoughtful extras? In our testing, the Renpho Active earned a 7.5/10 by pairing a unique heated/cooling head with app-guided routines and remote speed control, making recovery feel intuitive. Its 1,800–2,800 pulses per minute across five speeds and five heads (Standard, Flat, Bullet, Fork, Cushion) covered everything from quads to traps; quiet at low to mid settings, though the 2.5‑hour battery and up‑to‑55 dB noise at top speed limit marathon sessions. At $109.99, it undercuts premium smart models while delivering more guidance than most budget picks.

The Theragun PRO Plus is your go-to if you're seeking attachment variety with seven specialized heads, though it may not suit everyone due to its hefty weight and added cost for additional features. Scoring a 6.5/10, our testing showed its utility despite these downsides. It's not the lightest or the cheapest, but for those in need of tech-forward wellness aids, it's worth a look.

Prefer guided, quieter recovery over brute force? In our testing, the Theragun Sense scored 7.5/10 thanks to its built‑in biometric sensor and app-guided routines that tailor speed and pressure across five levels (1,750–2,400 PPM) using three heads (Standard, Cushion, Bullet). It’s whisper-quiet and polished, but the two-hour battery and lower force versus Theragun Pro models limit deep-tissue work. At $299.99, you’re paying for smart features and brand reliability—great for daily relaxation, though stronger, higher-scoring options like the D6 Pro suit heavy-duty needs.
