Bob and Brad C2 Deep Tissue Massage Gun vs Theragun Prime (6th Gen) Deep Tissue Massage Gun, Black
These are side-by-side facts taken from each product guide: published specifications, strengths and caveats as their sources state them. This page is not a test, a ranking or a verdict about which model is better.
Bob and Brad C2 Deep Tissue Massage Gun
A pocketable percussion massager where 3200 rpm is enough
The C2 is Bob and Brad's small five-speed percussion massager, 2000 to 3200 rpm, 25 W rated, with five heads, a 10-minute auto shut-off and a carrying case. Its manual and its listing disagree sharply about charging: the manual says USB-A to USB-C only and about three hours, the listing advertises 15 W PD fast charging in 1.5 to 2 hours. Noise and warranty are also published two different ways.
Published specifications
- Manual: speed 2000-3200 r/min; rated power 25 W; battery 7.4 V, 2500 mAh
- Manual: charging time 210 minutes, USB-A to USB-C cable, 5V 2A; listing bullet claims 15 W PD in 1.5-2 hours
- Maker page and listing: five heads, five speeds, 10-minute auto shut-off, carrying case and Type-C cable included
- Manual: 18.6 x 14.7 x 6 cm (7.3 x 5.7 x 2.3 in); maker page and listing state 1.5 lb, Amazon's table says 2.86 lb
- Noise: maker page says below 60 dB at top speed; the listing bullet says as low as 40 dB
- Warranty: manual says one year; Bob and Brad's product page advertises two years with no registration
Strengths
- Small and light enough for a gym bag, with a case and five heads in the box
- Fixed 10-minute auto shut-off on every run, stated by both the maker's page and the listing
- Speed range 2000-3200 rpm is stated identically in the manual, the listing and the maker's page
Caveats
- The manual says it will not charge on a USB-C to USB-C cable while the listing advertises C-to-C and PD fast charging
- Published noise figures differ by 20 dB between the maker's page and the Amazon bullet, with no stated conditions
- No amplitude or stroke length is published anywhere, and the stall force figure appears only in a listing bullet
