Hyperice X 2 Shoulder — Precision Recovery Anywhere
Hyperice is a U.S.-based company specializing in recovery and performance technology, with partnerships across major sports organizations including the NBA, NFL, UFC, and Major League Baseball.
The company states: “We are driven by a mission to help everyone move better and recover faster through innovation in performance technology.”
Its systems are used by athletes and medical teams for warm-up, treatment, and post-training recovery, combining portable engineering with clinical-grade precision.
The company’s product range includes percussion devices (Hypervolt), air-compression systems (Normatec), and electronic contrast-therapy units (Hyperice X Series).
The newest model in this line — the Hyperice X 2 Shoulder — extends that platform, delivering heat, cold, and compression in one cordless, integrated device.
Function and Design
The X 2 Shoulder is a fully electronic contrast-therapy system designed to alternate between heating and cooling phases.
It operates across a temperature range of 40 °F (4 °C) to 121 °F (49 °C), enabling precise thermal shifts that stimulate circulation and help manage soreness or swelling after activity.
An integrated compression system delivers up to 160 mmHg, improving contact with the shoulder and driving temperature deeper into tissue.
Users can select between five compression levels and five temperature levels through a built-in OLED display.
All components — thermal elements, sensors, compressor, and power source — are housed within the wrap itself, eliminating the need for hoses, cables, or external control units.
Portability and Use
The device is cordless and self-contained, allowing athletes to move freely during recovery sessions.
At 2.5 lb (1.1 kg), it remains lightweight and TSA-compliant for travel.
Battery performance is rated for approximately 1 hour on maximum cold or 1.5 hours on maximum heat, supporting efficient use between training sessions or during travel schedules.
The X 2 targets the shoulder joint and surrounding musculature, delivering localized thermal and compression therapy immediately after training, competition, or rehabilitation.
By combining heating, cooling, and compression in one unit, it simplifies treatment and reduces setup time compared to traditional ice or heat packs.
