Compare the two
The contrast wearable for you
One question: warm and cold on a limb, or all four therapies on a joint.
Shoulder or knee · Four therapies
Contrast X
$700NZD
A shaped wrap with the control unit and the thermal module clipped on the front.
- 35 to 42 °C warm, 8 to 16 °C cold
- Vibration and 660 nm red light
- Straps hold it on the joint
What contrast therapy is
Warm, then cold, then warm again. The device holds each one and switches between them for you.
Warm
Up to 47 °C
Held steady for the session
- 1 WarmUp to 47 °C on the Pulse and 42 °C on the X, over three levels, held steady rather than cooling off the way a wheat pack does.
- 2 ColdDown to 5 °C on the Pulse and 8 °C on the X, made by the device itself, so there is nothing to freeze beforehand.
Warm and cold, or all four
Both hold a set temperature and both alternate between them. What changes is where the device goes and what else it does while it is there.
Side by side
Same contrast mode, same warranty, same hour on a charge.

Questions, Answered
What is contrast therapy?
Alternating between a warm temperature and a cold one. Traditionally that means moving between a hot shower and an ice bath; these two devices make both temperatures themselves and alternate between them on a timer, on the part of the body you strap them to.
Which one should I buy?
The Contrast Pulse if you want warm and cold on an arm or a leg, at $300. The Contrast X if you want a shoulder or a knee, and vibration and a 660 nm red light as well, at $700. The comparison above sets them out row by row.
Do I need ice or water?
No. Both devices generate their own warm and cold, and both run off an internal battery, so there is nothing to freeze beforehand and nothing to plug in while you use them.
How long does a charge last?
An hour or more of continuous use on either device. The Pulse charges over USB and the X over USB-C.
Is there anyone who should not use them?
Yes. Do not use either device over broken skin, an open wound, a rash or an infection, or anywhere you have reduced sensation and cannot feel temperature properly. Check with your doctor or physio first if you are pregnant, diabetic, have a circulatory or nerve condition, or are recovering from surgery. Neither is suitable for anyone under 18, and neither should be used while asleep.
What is the warranty, and can I return one?
One year from the day it is delivered, on both. Returns are 30 days from delivery, unused and in the original packaging, with return shipping paid by you. Delivery is free anywhere in New Zealand, and technical support is for the life of the product.
