When it comes to handheld deep muscle massagers, there are a couple of market leading brands manufacturing top quality massage guns, and then there’s the rest of the pack. One of those top players in the market is Exerscribe. They are the people behind the VYBE massage gun. They’re also one of the few companies that actually offer a range of different massage tools for different purposes.
In this article, we’ll take a close look at the VYBE handheld massage gun lineup with full reviews on each product.
The VYBE Product Range
Exerscribe offer three handheld deep muscle massagers as follows:
- VYBE Handheld Deep Muscle Massager
- VYBE PRO Handheld Deep Muscle Massager
- VYBE PRO Premium Handheld Deep Muscle Massager
Let’s consider them one by one.
VYBE Handheld Deep Muscle Massager
Key Specs:
- Weight 3.53 pounds
- Color Blue
- Speeds 6
- Percussion vibration 500 to 2400 strokes per minute
- Power Source 2 Lithium-ion batteries (charger included)
The VYBE Handheld deep muscle massager is Exerscribe’s flagship massager and their most popular seller. It is a very effective tool which has been ergonomically designed to fit comfortably into the hand. The biggest issue that all users seem to mention is the noise that it emits. However, the overwhelming consensus seems to be that that’s a small price to pay for the relief that this massager delivers.
Features
The VYBE handheld percussion deep muscle massager gives you the ability to produce between 500 and 2400 strokes per minute. There are a total of six speed settings so you have plenty of control over the strength of the massage.
The massage arm on this unit rotates to 90 degrees to allow you to get to those tricky body-parts on the posterior side of your body. You get three interchangeable heads as follows:
- Large Ball
- Standard Ball
- Cone
The balls are simple to swap out. They provide the options you need to get into deep tissue as well as to provide soothing surface muscle treatment.
The percussion nature of this massage gun delivers an intensive treatment tht does a great job of bringing quick relief. A push button trigger allows you to get a continual treatment without having to keep your finger depressed. That makes a big difference in terms of reducing hand fatigue.
Your massage gun purchase comes with a convenient carry case, two rechargeable batteries and a battery charger.
In terms of consumer protection, Exerscribe offer a 30-day money back guarantee and a 12-month warranty on this product.
This handheld percussion massager has a hard ball that provides hard pressure. If you’re not used to this type of deep tissue massage, you may want to stick with the other heads. Overall this is an effective, general use percussion massager. The noise factor is the only real issue. It may be a problem if you are planning to use the massager in public settings, such as in the gym warm up room.
VYBE PRO Handheld Deep Muscle Massager
Key Specs:
- Weight 4.4 pounds
- Color Black
- Speeds 9
- Percussion vibration 1800 to 3400 strokes per minute
- Power Source 2 Lithium-ion batteries (charger included)
The VYBE Pro handheld deep tissue massage gun is a more powerful version of the previously reviewed gun. It delivers a higher stroke rate of between 1800-3400 strokes per minute. This delivers an extra thousand strokes per minute than the standard model. That makes this one of the most powerful percussion massagers for non-commercial use on the market.
Unlike many other supposed percussion massagers on the market, the VYBE Pro delivers a true percussion movement as opposed to a vibration, percussion hybrid.
Another benefit over the standard model is that the Pro massager is considerably quieter to operate. That is largely thanks to its 24V brushless DC motor and double bearing transmission. Also, with this gun you get, not three, but five interchangeable massage heads. This provides you with more options in terms of really getting into those nagging pain areas. The head options are the following:
- Large Ball
- Fork
- Flat Head
- Wedge Head
- Bullet Head
The VYBE Pro is just as ergonomically friendly as the standard model. It has a very good balance and is light weight enough to allow for continued application without causing wrist and forearm fatigue.
The battery life on this massager is 3 hours, so you’ll never run out of charge. It also comes with a replacement battery and charger.
You get a 30-day warranty and one-year guarantee on you purchase of the VYBE Pro percussion massager.
VYBE Pro Premium Deep Tissue Massage Gun
Key Specs:
- Weight 3.1 pounds
- Color Black
- Speeds 5
- Percussion vibration 1800 to 3200 strokes per minute
- Power Source Lithium-ion battery (includes power adaptor)
The VYBE Pro premium is the most compact, anatomically friendly of the three VYBE percussion massagers. This unit is a delight to hold and handle. It delivers up to 3200 strokes per minute and allows you 5-speed variable control. Its noise level is between 50-60 decibels, which is ultra-quiet in terms of percussion massagers and the least noisy of the 3 products offered by Exerscribe.
The battery life on this unit is even more impressive than the 3 hours you get with the VYBE Pro, extending it by at least an hour! It also features a 24V brushless motor and double bearing transmission to deliver 30 lbs of maximum force.
The Pro Premium provides you with following four attachment heads:
- Large Ball
- Fork
- Flat Head
- Bullet Head
The fork attachment is especially useful for penetrating deep into your muscular pain points.
The VYBE Premium Pro comes to you in a compact carry case and includes a power adapter. The standard Exerscribe 30-day money back offer and 12-month guarantee applies on this product.
