Xiaomi's $51 Mijia Fascia Gun 3 has three massage heads but half the depth of a Theragun
Xiaomi has opened pre-sales in China for the Mijia Fascia Gun 3, priced at 369 yuan (around $51 / £40). The standout design choice is three interchangeable massage heads instead of the usual single attachment — a practical upgrade for covering larger muscle groups, but one that comes with a trade-off in depth that's worth understanding before you buy.
Three heads, one clear limit
Most massage guns — from budget options to the Theragun Prime — use a single head that punches deep into muscle tissue. The Theragun Prime reaches 16mm. The Mijia Fascia Gun 3 sits at 4mm of penetration depth, which positions it squarely as a comfort and recovery tool for everyday use rather than serious athletic recovery. The dual-axis brushless motor delivers up to 25kg of thrust force, which is respectable on paper, but that shallow reach is the real defining factor here.
The Mijia Fascia Gun 3 features three interchangeable massage heads for broader muscle coverage.
The three-head modular setup does offer something genuinely different: broader surface coverage in a single pass. If your goal is unwinding after a desk job rather than breaking up knots after marathon training, that trade-off makes sense.

The modes and battery
Two operational modes — fixed frequency and variable frequency — each offer three intensity levels. A smart memory function restores your last-used settings when you power it back on, a small convenience that adds up over daily use.
The 2,450mAh battery is claimed to last around 31 days on moderate daily use.
Battery capacity is 2,450mAh. Xiaomi claims around 31 days of use assuming roughly 15 minutes of moderate use per day — that's a manufacturer figure with no independent validation yet, so treat it as optimistic until reviews arrive.
Availability outside China
There's no UK or US launch announced. As reported by Gizmochina, the device went on pre-sale in China only. Grey-market imports are available via eBay and AliExpress at roughly £45–52, but without a warranty or local support. For context, the Theragun Mini runs around £199 at 12mm depth, and the Hypervolt Go 2 lands cheaper — both offer significantly more penetration for athletic use. The Mijia Gun 3 makes sense as a budget pick for light, everyday massage, but anyone wanting serious muscle recovery will want to look elsewhere.
