Hyperice X Shoulder Contrast Therapy System
Hyperice X Shoulder Wrap
This is the first-generation Hyperice X in shoulder form: a compact 12.5 × 10 × 1.5 in panel that produces both heat and cold from the same surface. The listing states it moves between hot and cold therapy within 60 seconds, so a contrast session runs as one sitting.
It weighs 2 lbs and runs 1.5 hours on its battery, with an AC cable and 9V charger in the box. Three modes are described: hold cold, hold heat, or let it rotate between the two on a set program. Bluetooth® puts the same controls in the Hyperice App.

Specifications
Read this before the numbers. This is the original Hyperice X Shoulder, a separate product from the current Hyperice X 2 Shoulder, and Hyperice no longer publishes a specification page for it. Every figure here comes from the Recovery For Athletes listing for this device, and none has been carried over from the newer wrap.
⇄Advanced Contrast TherapyOne surface, two therapies, 60 seconds between them. Because the device generates both temperatures itself, alternating them costs nothing but a setting change. The listing describes it as fully automated electric contrast therapy with no preparation, which is the practical difference from a gel pack that has to live in a freezer.Hot to cold in 60 sec?Three Modes To Choose FromCold held steady, heat held steady, or a rotating contrast cycle the device runs on its own. The listing’s claim for the held modes is that the temperature stays put for the length of the session, without the fade a pack goes through as it equalises with the room.Cold, heat, contrast?An Adaptive Fit At Twelve And A Half Inches12.5 x 10 x 1.5 in is a compact panel by the standards of shoulder devices, and 1.5 in of thickness is the thinnest dimension anywhere in the Hyperice X line. The listing describes an adaptive fit that moves with you freely, which on a rotating joint is the specification that decides whether you keep using it.1.5 in thick?Bluetooth And The Hyperice AppThe listing gives Bluetooth as control via the Hyperice App with connection. It does not detail what the app adds over the device’s own controls, so read it as a second route to the same settings, useful when the wrap is on a shoulder you cannot easily see.App control

Eight Things This Listing Actually Says
A discontinued product page invites guesswork. Everything below is on the Recovery For Athletes listing for this exact wrap, and where the listing is silent, so is this page.

What’s Included, And How It Sits
On The Shoulder
A Short Box List For A Self-Contained Device
Two items, because everything that makes heat and cold lives inside the wrap. There is no reservoir to fill, no pack to freeze and no control unit to find a shelf for.
- Hyperice X Shoulder: the actual device
- AC cable + 9V charger: to charge your device
- Weight: 2 lbs for the complete wrap
- No gel pack, ice cell, cartridge or consumable is part of the system
- The listing does not describe strap minimizers or extenders for this model
Two items9V charger2 lbsThe Contrast Cell
Sixty Seconds Between Two Therapies
The cell is what makes this a contrast system. It produces cold on demand and heat on demand from the same face, which is why the listing can describe a rotating cycle that needs no attention once it starts.
- Temperature: switch between hot and cold therapy within 60 seconds
- Hold a consistent temperature for as long as a session runs, per the listing
- Or select contrast therapy for a rotating cycle the device manages itself
- Battery Life: 1.5 hours, given as a single figure with no split by mode
- No temperature levels or degree figures are published for this generation

Twelve And A Half Inches Across A Rotating Joint
Small helps here. A shoulder changes shape through its range, and a compact panel at 1.5 in thick has less to fight against than a large one. The listing’s phrase for this is an adaptive fit that moves with you freely.
- Size: 12.5 x 10 x 1.5 in.
- Adaptive fit described as moving with you, with no numeric circumference range given
- Bluetooth: control via the Hyperice App with connection
- Cordless in use, running from the internal battery
- The listing describes no left or right version and no size options

Which Generation, Which Joint
Four wraps, two generations. The Hyperice X Shoulder and Hyperice X Knee are the originals, each described only from its own listing. The Hyperice X 2 Shoulder and X 2 Knee are the current models with a published specification sheet of their own. No figure crosses between the two generations on this page.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
A first-generation electric contrast therapy system shaped for the shoulder. One wrap produces both heat and cold, holds either, or rotates between them on a cycle it runs itself. It measures 12.5 x 10 x 1.5 in, weighs 2 lbs and runs 1.5 hours on a charge.Cold held steady, heat held steady, or contrast therapy for a rotating cycle. The listing’s claim for the two held modes is that the wrap keeps the temperature constant for as long as the session lasts, which is the behaviour a pack or a compress cannot manage as it equalises with the room.The listing states it switches between hot and cold therapy within 60 seconds. That figure is the changeover time, and it is the reason the contrast cycle can run automatically.No temperature figures are published for the first-generation Hyperice X Shoulder, so none appear here. Any degree scale you find belongs to the current Hyperice X 2 Shoulder, a different product, and applying its numbers to this wrap would be invention.12.5 x 10 x 1.5 in. The 1.5 in thickness is the thinnest of any wrap in the Hyperice X family, which is what lets it sit under a layer of clothing without pushing it out of shape.Different job. The Hyperice X Knee is 34 x 28 x 2 in because it has to close all the way around a leg. The Shoulder sits over the cap of the joint, so at 12.5 x 10 x 1.5 in it covers the area without the length a full wrap needs. Both weigh 2 lbs.1.5 hours. The listing gives it as one figure and does not break it down by mode, so a session on cold and a session on heat are not distinguished. No charge time is stated either.The listing describes the AC cable + 9V charger as being there to charge your device, and stops short of saying the wrap runs from it. Since the listing does not state corded operation for this model, plan around the 1.5 hour battery.Two items: the Hyperice X Shoulder itself and an AC cable + 9V charger. Unlike the Hyperice X Knee, this model’s listing includes no strap minimizers or extenders.There is one version sold, with no side to choose at checkout and no size options. The listing describes an adaptive fit that moves with you freely and gives no circumference range in inches, so there is no fit chart to measure against before ordering.The listing for this generation describes heat and cold only, with no compression levels and no pressure figures. Built-in compression is a feature Hyperice lists for the current Hyperice X 2 wraps. If pressure is part of what you are shopping for, look at those.No. The listing describes fully automated, electric contrast therapy with no preparation before use, and nothing in the box is a pack, a cartridge or a consumable. The cold and the heat are both produced by the device.Yes. The listing gives Bluetooth as control via the Hyperice App with connection. What the app adds beyond the on-device controls is not specified for this generation.The Recovery For Athletes listing states it is approved by TSA for carry-on. That is the listing’s wording, and it stands on the listing’s authority, because Hyperice no longer publishes a page for this generation. It holds an internal battery, so check the airline’s lithium-battery guidance before you fly.They are two products a generation apart, and their specifications should be kept separate. This page describes the original Hyperice X Shoulder from its own listing: 2 lbs, 12.5 x 10 x 1.5 in, a 1.5 hour battery and a 60 second changeover. The Hyperice X 2 Shoulder publishes its own current specification sheet and adds built-in compression and an OLED display that this generation does not describe.
