Common questions
PRO Plus or Elite — which Theragun should I buy?
For most users, Elite — same Therabody app, same 16 mm amplitude, same 2-year warranty at $200 less. PRO Plus only justifies the premium if you need 60 lbs stall force or want OLED pressure display.
Is 60 lbs stall force vs 40 lbs noticeable?
For elite athletes doing deep-tissue protocols — yes. For most consumer recovery use cases — not meaningfully. Elite's 40 lbs handles 90% of percussion contexts.
Does the OLED display matter?
For users who want real-time pressure feedback while pressing — useful. For users who already know how hard they're pressing — cosmetic.
Should I cross-shop Elite vs Hypervolt 2 Pro?
Yes — both $399. Hypervolt 2 Pro delivers 60 lbs stall force vs Elite's 40 lbs but with 14 mm amplitude (vs Elite 16 mm) and 1-year warranty (vs Elite 2-year). Trade Therabody ecosystem for higher stall force.
