I’m living proof that you don’t have to be a gym bro to fall madly in love with massage guns. Walking in the city—plus the ever-so occasional cardio workout—leaves my calfs and feet aching a couple of times a week. A massage gun is my one-way ticket to relief city. My fiancée loves it to loosen up her back and hips after long days of sitting at a desk. It makes for a happy family. What she doesn’t know is I have another one at work that has one special trick up its sleeve.

The Hypervolt 3 Pro is the brand’s new flagship massage gun. What the Hypervolt 3 line changes for Hyperice is bringing heat therapy to the bag of tricks.

The six-speed massage gun uses a rotating dial to change speeds (love it) and comes with five different attachment heads. The one I’ve been using most is the heated head, which has its own power button and USB-C charging (the gun itself uses a proprietary plug and charger). It’s quiet enough that I can use it in the office on lower speeds without getting weird looks since the heat penetrates through denim.

To be clear, this isn’t the first massage gun to incorporate heat therapy, it just hits a really consumer friendly price point. The Theragun Prime Plus is Therabody’s closest competing product and its priced $80 higher than the Hypervolt 3 Pro. As an owner of a Theragun Relief, I get it. It feels like a premium product and I find the triangular support for the handles more ergonomic. But lately Hyperice’s offerings have become undeniably impressive.

I’ve been using the Pro 3, but my colleague—associate entertainment editor Eric Francisco—has been loving the regular Hypervolt 3. He works out a lot more than I do, and he has yet to find any reason to complain about the middle option. It comes with the same heads as the Pro, rocks a similar four hour battery life, and is even lighter by half a pound. All at the expense of extra power. If that sounds like a worthy trade, consider the Hypervolt 3 instead. Me? I’ll be finally taking my Hypervolt Pro 3 home tonight.
