Who should buy which
Anyone who wants a drug-free TENS and EMS tool in a truly wireless format, especially multi-area users who will actually use the isolated-channel pods on different body parts at different intensities.
You are fine with lead wires (wired TENS + EMS units cost roughly half as much), you expect more than the temporary relief this device class is cleared for, or you have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device, a standard contraindication for electrical stimulation; check with your clinician first.
Anyone wanting one premium recovery device that handles 80% of self-massage needs without buying into a bigger ecosystem.
You're committed to the Hyperice ecosystem (Normatec, Hyperice Vest), or you only need basic massage (Hypervolt 2 is $200 less).
