Comparison

Compare TechRing and Performance Ring

The TechRing and Performance Ring give the same firmness support and up to 12 hours of wear; the TechRing adds sensors and app tracking for $275 versus $60.

In the FirmTech Ring Guide's comparison, the deciding question is whether you want data. If you only want firmer, longer-lasting erections, the $60 Performance Ring does that job. If you also want to measure firmness, duration and nighttime erections, the TechRing is the only FirmTech ring that can.

Which is better, the TechRing or the Performance Ring?

The TechRing is better if you want to track your sexual health; the Performance Ring is better if you want simple support at the lowest price. Both are doctor designed, use the same peno-scrotal fit and adjustable hook-and-loop strap, fit up to 5.5 inches of erect girth, and are rated by FirmTech at 3 of 5 for tightness.

The TechRing wins for men managing ED with a doctor, trying a new medication, or curious about nighttime erections. The Performance Ring fits men who never want to charge or pair anything.

What actually differs

Tracking

The TechRing has built-in sensors and connects to the FirmTech app over Bluetooth on iPhone and Android. It measures firmness and duration during sex and the count, strength and length of nighttime erections, rolled into a 0 to 100 Erectile Fitness Score. The Performance Ring has no sensors.

Upkeep

The TechRing needs charging: 2 to 4 hours for about 12 hours of use, and FirmTech suggests replacing its sleeve about every 30 nights (sleeves from $15). The Performance Ring has nothing to charge, pair or replace on a schedule.

Coverage

The TechRing carries a 1-year warranty on electronics plus 2 sleeve replacements. The Performance Ring carries a 3-month warranty. Both come with FirmTech's 30-day money-back guarantee and are HSA/FSA eligible.

Can I get both?

Yes. FirmTech sells a TechRing + Performance Ring bundle for $295 instead of $335, as listed on its bundles page. Some men use the TechRing for overnight tracking and the Performance Ring when they just want the feel.

Common questions

What is the difference between the TechRing and the Performance Ring?

Both support firmer, longer-lasting erections, share the same peno-scrotal design, and can be worn for up to 12 hours. The TechRing ($275) adds sensors, a Bluetooth app, nighttime erection tracking and a 1-year warranty. The Performance Ring ($60) has nothing to charge or pair and carries a 3-month warranty.

Why does the TechRing cost more than the other rings?

The TechRing includes built-in sensors, a USB-rechargeable battery that lasts about 12 hours, a Bluetooth connection to the FirmTech app, and nighttime erection tracking. It also carries a 1-year warranty on electronics plus 2 sleeve replacements, compared with a 3-month warranty on the $60 Performance Ring and MaxPR.

What does the TechRing track?

During sex it measures firmness and duration. Overnight it counts nighttime erections and measures their strength and length. The FirmTech app rolls this into an Erectile Fitness Score from 0 to 100, and lets you log sleep, drinks, workouts and medication to see what affects your numbers.

How long does the TechRing battery last?

About 12 hours on a full charge, according to FirmTech, which covers a full night of tracking. A full charge takes 2 to 4 hours with the included USB cable. The Performance Ring and MaxPR have no battery at all, so there is nothing to charge.

Should I buy two rings?

Some men do. FirmTech sells a TechRing plus Performance Ring bundle and a TechRing plus MaxPR bundle, each listed at $295 instead of $335. The idea is to track with the TechRing and keep a simple ring for times when you just want the feel, without charging or pairing anything.

Does the Performance Ring or MaxPR track anything?

No. Neither has sensors, a battery or an app connection. FirmTech positions them as erection support without tracking. Only the TechRing has built-in sensors that measure firmness, duration and nighttime erections, and it is the only FirmTech ring that needs charging, so the $60 rings are ready to use straight from the box.
