We've gone down a bit of a rabbit hole recently. A percussive massager rabbit hole, specifically. After surveying the market, we had a hard time settling on one unit to review, and ended up doing a shootout of three such units.
Since then, a little further investigation revealed that, in fact, that competition already exists. So down the rabbit hole we go again. This time, we are reviewing just one unit, the Hyperice Hypervolt, and a companion product by the same company, the Vyper 2.0 vibrating roller.
Vyper 2.0, Vibrating Foam Roller 
A lovely surprise, the Vyper 2.0 is a very nice upgrade to your traditional foam roller, but comes at a price.
Hypervolt Massager 
My favorite percussive massager ever, the Hypervolt has been loved here at TriRig, by triathletes and non-triathlete family members alike. It's truly the best-in-class product as far as we are concerned.
