Short answer: the Theragun PRO (5th Gen) is the higher-priced of the two Theragun models on this site, with an OLED screen, 4 built-in guided routines, and 6 attachment heads, for $529.99. It is the most expensive massage gun on this site. Our data is missing several specs you’d expect at this price.
What do you get for $529.99?
The six heads are Supersoft, Standard Ball, Dampener, Wedge, Thumb, and Micro-point. The screen runs 4 routines without a phone: Sleep, Warm Up, Recovery, and Theragun Break. The app adds more.
It measures 9.5” x 6.7” x 2.8” and weighs 2.2 lbs. Battery life is 120 minutes. At 10 minutes a day, that is 12 days between charges.
Here’s what the spec sheet won’t tell you
Our data for this model has no speed range, no noise level, no stroke depth, and no warranty term. The official page lists strengths and no drawbacks, which is normal for a product page and no help to a buyer. Before paying, find these four numbers on the listing or ask Therabody:
- Speed range in percussions per minute
- Noise in dB, and at which speed
- Stroke depth (amplitude) in mm
- Warranty length
Run the numbers against the alternatives
The Hyperice Hypervolt 3 Pro costs $349, lists 51 dB, and runs up to 4 hours per charge, double the PRO’s 120 minutes. The Theragun Mini costs $179.99 and runs 150 minutes. On published battery life, the PRO is last of the three.
What the PRO offers that they don’t is the screen, the built-in routines, and the widest set of heads.
About the rating and labels
The 4.43 from 72 reviews is reported by Therabody. “FDA registered” means the device is listed with the FDA, not that it was reviewed. HSA/FSA eligibility depends on your plan.
How do you use it safely?
Start on the lowest speed with a soft head. Keep it on muscle, away from bones, joints, and the front of the neck.
How it compares
Bottom line: buy the PRO if you want guided routines on the device and will use the different heads. Otherwise the Hypervolt gives you more battery for $181 less. See Quietest Massage Gun and our recovery equipment comparison.
