Addition of compression: Five levels of compression (up to 160mmHg) push temperatures deeper into the tissue, allowing users to tailor the compression to their needs and achieve a more customized fit.
Targeted contrast therapy: Expanded temperature ranges now span from 40°F (4°C) to 121°F (49°C), with five levels of cooling and five levels of heating, to ease inflammation and boost circulation as needed. Up from the original Hyperice X range at 45°F (7°C) to 113°F (45°C).
Smart control and all-in-one mobility: A new all-in-one OLED display allows seamless switching between hot, cold, and contrast therapy, as well as select compression levels. Hyperice X 2 is cord-free for use on the move, with an option to plug in to the wall for extended rehab sessions.

Benefits of contrast therapy include:
Article content
Reduces swelling and pain: Contrast moves fluid, while compression limits buildup to ease inflammation and discomfort.
Relaxes muscles and boosts circulation: Heat loosens tight muscles, cold calms spasms, and both, paired with compression, improve blood flow.
Improves range of motion: Reduces stiffness, mobilizes joints, and softens tissue for smoother, safer movement.
Flushes waste: Contrast and compression work together to speed up the removal of lactic acid and other byproducts.
Aids warm-up and recovery: Increases tissue readiness before activity and helps muscles reset and recover after.
