BOB AND BRAD D6 Pro Plus Review: 16mm Heated Deep-Tissue Power

I first picked up the BOB AND BRAD D6 Pro Plus after watching a hands-on demo and quickly noticed how heavy and premium it feels in hand. The reviewer in the video called the heated head a “gamechanger” and demonstrated the gun’s adjustable arm, OLED screen, and high top speed that reaches 2500 RPM. I tested those same features in real-world usage to see how the D6 Pro Plus performs for pre-workout activation and post-workout recovery.

This review covers the build, the unique heated massage head, modes and speeds, battery and charging behavior, real use cases, comparisons to standard guns, and what I think are the best and worst aspects to consider before buying.

What I Liked

High power & deep tissue reach

The gun delivers strong percussion up to 2500 RPM and the 16mm amplitude really lets you feel deep into tight muscles.

In the demo the reviewer tested the bullet head and noted it has the biggest impact, which matches my experience for knots in quads and glutes.

Heated massage head speeds warm-up and mobility

The heated head warms to roughly 115F within seconds and reports about a one-hour run time for the heated attachment.

I used the heated head before mobility work and felt faster loosening of tight areas compared with cold starts.

Adjustable arm and multiple heads improve reach

The D6 Pro Plus has a 90-degree adjustable connection with six arm positions. The reviewer used it to reach quads and back more easily.

Those six positions plus seven attachment heads made targeting shoulder blades, IT band, and calves much simpler during a self-massage session.

What Needs Improvement

Weight & size

The unit weighs about 2.8 pounds and feels heavier than many compact guns.

That extra heft gives a premium feel, but it can be tiring if you hold it single-handed for long sessions or try to reach the mid-back yourself.

Adjustable arm reach could be longer

The arm rotates through useful angles, but a longer arm or larger angle range would make self-application to the mid-back easier.

If you frequently self-treat hard-to-reach areas, you may still need a partner or creative positioning.

Deal Breakers vs Minor Issues

Deal breakers: if you need ultra-light portability or the lowest price, this is not ideal.

Minor issues: a few Amazon reviews mention mixed battery experiences, but the listing states ~180 minutes of battery life and around 2.5 hours in moderate use.

How It Compares to Alternatives

vs a standard / basic massage gun

Compared to a generic, basic gun the D6 Pro Plus is noticeably more powerful and deeper in amplitude.

The D6 extends farther and sounds stronger versus a simpler model that lacks the adjustable arm.

vs other Bob and Brad models

Within the brand the D6 Pro Plus focuses on “ultimate thermal therapy” with the heated head and 16mm amplitude.

Less expensive B&B options trade some power and the heated feature for lighter weight and a lower price point.

Who Should Buy This

Perfect for:

• Athletes and regular exercisers who need deep tissue recovery
• People who value a heated attachment for warm-up or tight muscles
• Users who want multiple built-in modes and an OLED display for feedback

Skip if you:

• Need the lightest travel-friendly gun available
• Prefer the absolute cheapest percussion massager

Consider alternatives if:

• You want metal attachments or a different head material than what’s included
• Your priority is the very longest possible battery life over raw power

Final Verdict

Overall, the BOB AND BRAD D6 Pro Plus is one of the stronger consumer massage guns I’ve tested based on the specs and real-world performance.

The combination of 16mm amplitude, 1500-2500 RPM range, a heated head, an adjustable arm, and an OLED screen makes it a solid pick for athletes and anyone who needs consistent, deep relief.
