Sportneer vs Theragun massage gun review
Build
Sportneer D9 is crafted from premium materials, is durable and built to last. It features a quiet operation and a rechargeable battery so you can take and use it anywhere. Theragun Prime has a steel rod protruding out of the massage barrel and to fix heads to this you simply line up the slot in the attachment and press it firmly down over two compressible ball bearings.
Design
The Sportneer Elite D9 Massage Gun is the ergonomic, easy-to-grip, silicon coated handle. The handle is slightly angled which makes it extra easy to maneuver and reach those hard to reach places. It weighs 4.4 pounds.
The triangular shaped device, Theragun Prime is designed to have an ergonomic grip so you can hold the device in different ways. At 2.2 pounds, it weighs the same as the Elite, so based on our experience with that model (see below), the Prime should be quite easy to move around to hit all parts of your body without straining your arm, hand or wrist.
Head comparison – Sportneer vs Theragun massage gun
Sportneer massage gun
This is a powerful, affordable massage gun that comes with six different massage heads to target all areas of the body and delivers top of the line therapy at a great cost.
The cone head is intense and penetrates very deeply. It’s my go to for deep, hard to reach knots and is designed for deep tissue release and small muscle areas like the feet, hands, and wrists. It’s intended to be used at intensity levels one and two max. The flat head is ideal for general use and is suitable for all muscles at all intensity levels.
The ball head is designed for large muscle groups like the quads, glutes etc. It’s a great choice if you’re suffering from extreme muscle and joint soreness. The fork head is designed for the spine, neck, calves, and shoulders. It’s great for sensitive muscles and bony areas and is intended to be used at levels one and two.
The chrome flat and ball heads are designed for amplified intensity and oil. Just be sure to clean yours off after each session if you go the oil route. To change massage heads, you always want your gun to be off. You simply pull out the current head and replace it with your head of choice; turn it back on and you’re ready to rumble.
Theragun Prime massage gun
The Standard Ball is a great all-rounder, which can be used for more general massage work. The Thumb tool, meanwhile, is aimed at letting you home in on precise areas using trigger point therapy. Similarly, the Cone attachment can be called upon to handle any pinpoint muscle treatment needs you may have.
Speed & Percussions
Sportneer massage gun
It’s equipped with a powerful brushless motor and boasts an RPM up to 3200 and an amplitude of 11 millimeters, giving the designated muscle group deep, penetrating relief.
The Sportneer has five speeds. Its highest, 3,200 PPM, is identical to the Hypervolt’s top speed and offers a similar sensation on the body (and a similar force on our tennis-ball test). The highlight, however, is that the Sportneer has several intensity settings that are gentler than either of the other two guns. This was the massager I reached for when my muscles were so tender I didn’t even want to foam roll, because I could put it on the lowest setting and gradually worked my way up.
- Level 1: 1300 rpm to awaken muscles
- Level 2: 1700 rpm for facia relaxation
- Level 3: 2000 rpm to decompose lactic acid
- Level 4: 2400 rpm for deep massage
- Level 5: 2800 rpm for professional mode
- Level 6: 3200 rpm for professional mode
Theragun Prime massage gun
has five built-in speed ranges starting from 1,750 percussions per minute (PPM) up to 2,400 PPM. The “percussion” part of the device makes the head “punch” the skin so it feels more intense and it’s said to hit muscles deeper than a vibration massage therapy device which doesn’t have that “drilling” effect with the massage head.
Battery life & charging
Sportneer massage gun
It has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that takes three to five hours to fully charge. On a full charge you get up to six hours of operating time. It also has a 10-minute auto shutoff feature to prevent the motor from overheating.
When fully charged, the indicator light of the massager turns off, and the indicator on the power adapter will change from red to green. When it’s fully charged, you’ll get up to six hours of run time and it’s portable, so you can literally take it anywhere.
Theragun Prime massage gun
A fully charged Theragun Prime will last up to two hours. I used the massage gun a few times a week, about 5 to 7 minutes or so at a time and I didn’t need to charge it again for about 45 days.
Noise
With a volume of 40 decibels, this Sportneer deep tissue massager is as quiet as can be! It’s so silent that it won’t disturbing others while you’re using it.
Theragun claims this gun is 70% quieter than earlier models, but we did find it a bit noisy nonetheless. That said; this is really the only minor negative we can think of when it comes to the Theragun Prime. It’s therefore easy to see why Therabody is the brand of choice for many individuals looking for effective muscle and massage relief.
Apps
Another great difference between Sportneer and Theragun massage gun is that Theragun Prime 4th Generation support Bluetooth connectivity and support Therabody App. Sportneer does not have any app feature.
The Therabody app guides you through your workout in real time, showing how long to spend on each area along with how to apply the massage using colorful graphics.
The app not only stops you doing things wrong, it also illustrates just how easy it is to get things right. In our case, with a little bit of guidance from the app, and after specifying the ankle area as a location of particular need, we found that the gun was able to help with muscle relief by targeting that specific area. The great thing about all this is that you can adapt it to suit changing needs or, of course, create another profile and have the Theragun do the same for someone else. The gun speed can also be controlled using the app, which in some ways works better than using the physical buttons on its handle.
