[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an opportunity to test the new Hyperice X2 Shoulder and was blown away. With having previous shoulder injuries due to many seasons of baseball, I wanted to see just what this new product could do. With five different levels of heat, cold, and compression settings, it was easy to tailor to the exact treatment my shoulder needed. But the best part is that it is completely portable and requires no ice or water, making it perfect for while you are on the go. While I wish I had something like this during my previous baseball career, I know I will be using it now for recovery from future workouts and any flair ups that might come from my previous injuries. Thanks to Hyperice for giving me this free product to try.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has helped relieve lots of the pain and soreness I get after working out. I am recovering from a labral tear so the heat works wonders for aiding circulation, while the cool setting feels great after PT sessions that leave my shoulder burning. The one thing I’ve noticed is that the app doesn’t seem very compatible with the Hyperice Shoulder. There are options to connect to the knee one, but not the shoulder. I can control it from the device, but I’m sure the app would be more convenient. Overall I really like this and will continue to use it regularly during and after my shoulder recovery. Hyperice gave me this free product to try.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a great idea. Ideally I wish it worked better than it did.. for me. One of the fans sits right on my shoulder bone making it sit funky and not fully able to get the relief needed. In theory, great product but I’d make sure to try it first to make sure it fits right. I’ve tried it a couple times and let a friend borrow it. We both didn’t get the relief we were hoping for. I’ll continue to adjust it and see if I can find the sweet spot to get ice heat and compression. Hyperice gave me this product to try for free
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have loved using the Hyperice X2 Shoulder. The contrast therapy is fantastic and got surprising cool and hot considering the size. The cooling fans are a little loud, but just end being white noise and it’s nearly silent during heating. There is also contrasting pressure, but for me, that didn’t seem to really “massage” as much as I had hoped. I have been having rotator cuff issues for a while and had made it difficult to stay consistent in the gym. This has made my life much easier and improved that injury.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this while training for a triathlon, both after swimming and after cycling. I especially noticed help in my left shoulder that I had shoulder surgery 10 years ago, though I found benefit in both. The hot and cold both work well. I definitely feel the cold a bit more than the heat. It will be great when the app is updated so the x2 can sync and it can be on a longer cycle instead of the shorter 10 minute manual setting. The "compression" feels like it is more to keep in temperature/keep it stable, it does not give any sort of compression like the Normatec equipment. Maybe if you were a body builder it would be different. I got to test pre and post injury. It does fit over a cast, although it takes a partner to put it on for me at this stage of recovery. It definitely helps my shoulder when I wake up now.
I really wanted this to work for me. I was hoping this would help with my shoulder pain. Unfortunately, it does not fit my shoulder well and is somewhat uncomfortable. I find that the heat & cold functions do not work as well for me as my existing heating pad and ice packs. But, for others, this may be a good solution if the fit is better and allows good contact for the heat/cold. I used this several times and it appears to be a well-made device. I own several other Hyperice products (Venom Back, Hypervolt Pro) that have worked great for me, so, in general I do recommend their products.
I had purchased one of these before realizing they were on expert voice. I just wanted to voice the issue of how it doesn't remotely sit correct on my shoulder, my partner's shoulder, three of our friend's shoulders, my dad's shoulder, and our 20-year-old daughter's shoulder. not one of us did it fit correctly. other hyperized products are much better... I would absolutely not spend money on this product. if you look at all but I think two of the reviews not including mine. they are all incentivized. only one was honest about the shoulder fit piece.
Arrived today & immediately put it to work because my shoulder has been killing me. Now I’m not the most jacked human, but the fit doesn’t quite lineup with my shoulder. So the contact with the hot/cold sensation is very poor. I also don’t feel like the max cold or max hot is enough to really be an effective form of treatment. Very disappointed because other Hyperice products have been typically exceptional!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a perfect product for anyone experiencing chronic shoulder pain. I have been using it nightly on workout days and my shoulder feels better than ever. Both the hot and cold settings work extremely well and feel amazing, the compression really adds to the experience. Highly recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hyperice gave me this product free to try! X2 Shoulder so far for me has been good to test. I have a shoulder injury that I’m dealing with. After I workout I immediately throw on the X2 and I start a contrasting 20min session. I wish the cold would be colder but the heat is great! Almost too hot for me but I’m glad it’s adjustable. The compression I don’t feel has done to much. I wish the lower strap for the arm was larger. I have to have it as far out as possible and then it fits well. A little more space would be nice. The battery life on the x2 I think is great! I got plenty of sessions on one full charge. The buzz of the machine specifically while the cold sessions are going are not intrusive. It took a couple sessions to get used to it but ultimately it isn’t horribly loud. I would equate it to an oscillating fan. Often times I also take the X2 to work with me and I can use it while I’m sitting at my desk. My coworkers haven’t complained about the noise. One random thing is that it takes a bit to get used to the added width! Watch out for doorways!
