Our Verdict
Ekrin is the smart-money pick. The B37 delivers 56 lbs of stall force — within striking distance of the Theragun Pro Plus — at a third of the price, plus a lifetime warranty almost no one else in the category offers. The 15-degree angled handle is a genuine ergonomic win for self-treatment of the back and shoulders. Smaller brand without the pro-sports credibility of Theragun or Hyperice, and 12mm amplitude is shallower than the leaders. But the spec-to-price ratio is the best in the category.

About Ekrin Athletics
Ekrin is a small DTC brand founded by former athletes. The B37 has become the go-to recommendation on r/massagegun and massagegunadvice.com for people who've done enough homework to know the Theragun tax is real. The lifetime warranty is the move that separates Ekrin from every other budget and mid-tier brand.
