Motion Charge&Go 5X Review (2026): Price in India, Features, Pros & Cons

The Motion Charge&Go 5X follows Signia's recognisably compact BTE silhouette — curved to follow the contour of the ear and finished in a matte shell that sits snugly against the mastoid area. Unlike receiver-in-canal (RIC) devices, the entire processing unit and microphone array sits behind the ear, connected to the earmould or dome via a standard acoustic tube. This has a practical upside: the electronics are positioned away from the ear canal, which many users find more comfortable during extended wear in warm, humid Indian summers.

The device ships with an ergonomically angled charging contact on the base, so placing it in the cradle is straightforward even for users with reduced fine-motor control. The push-button on the body allows basic programme switching without requiring the smartphone app, which matters for seniors who may not be comfortable toggling a screen mid-conversation. HearClear's audiologists fit the device with a custom earmould where required — particularly relevant for severe-loss fittings — or with a standard domed tip for mild-to-moderate presentations. The IP68 dust and water-resistance rating ensures the hearing aid survives daily wear including light perspiration from outdoor activity or the kitchen environment, though submersion in pools is not recommended. Available in several discreet colour options, the shell blends reasonably well with most skin tones and hair colours.

The Motion Charge&Go 5X runs on Signia's Xperience (X-Platform) processing engine — the same core architecture used across the premium 7X tier, scaled to the mid-range 5X feature profile. The platform's defining characteristic is its acoustic-motion sensor, which uses an on-board accelerometer to detect whether the wearer is stationary or moving, and adjusts the microphone directional strategy accordingly. In a static situation such as a meeting room, the system narrows focus toward speech in front; when the user is walking through a busy market or corridor, processing broadens to maintain environmental awareness. This sensor-based scene classification is genuinely useful for daily Indian environments where acoustic conditions shift rapidly.

At the 5X tier, the device offers approximately 24 processing channels, which delivers solid spectral resolution for speech intelligibility across a range of noise levels. Signia's Own Voice Processing (OVP) — a patented feature that processes the wearer's own voice through a separate dedicated pathway — is present on the Xperience platform and reduces the barrel-effect or occlusion sensation that first-time BTE users often report. The result is a more natural-sounding listening experience, particularly when speaking aloud in group settings. The system also includes adaptive feedback cancellation, which is critical for BTE fittings where the microphone and receiver are in close proximity. Tinnitus relief is addressed through Notch Therapy, tuned to the individual's tinnitus frequency during the HearClear fitting session, supplemented by selectable static noise or ocean sound generators accessible through the Signia App.

Bluetooth connectivity on the Motion Charge&Go 5X is handled via Bluetooth 4.2, supporting both Classic and Low Energy protocols. For iPhone users (iOS 14 and above), the device connects directly as a Made for iPhone (MFi) accessory, streaming phone calls and audio from apps such as YouTube, Spotify, and Google Maps turn-by-turn navigation directly into both hearing aids. Android users benefit from ASHA (Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids) protocol support on compatible Android 10+ devices, giving similarly direct bilateral streaming without an intermediate streamer accessory.

The Signia App, available for Android and iOS, provides a clean interface for adjusting volume, switching between programmes, and applying personalised equaliser-style sound preferences. A standout feature is the Signia Assistant — an AI-driven guidance tool embedded in the app that lets users describe a listening difficulty in plain language (for example, 'speech is unclear in the car') and receive a real-time programme adjustment suggestion. Remote fine-tuning by an audiologist through the app's Telecare function is supported, which is particularly valuable for users in Tier-2 or Tier-3 cities who cannot visit a clinic frequently. HearClear's audiologists routinely use Telecare follow-ups during the initial fitting period, reducing the need for multiple in-clinic visits. The app also interfaces with the Signia TV Streamer 2 accessory, enabling direct audio transmission from television sets that lack built-in Bluetooth, at a separate accessory cost.

The integrated lithium-ion battery provides approximately 24 hours of use from a full overnight charge, which covers a typical Indian waking day comfortably — including commutes, work hours, and evening social time. Streaming audio via Bluetooth draws additional power; expect approximately 5 hours of continuous streaming to be factored into that 24-hour estimate, after which the remaining battery is available for standard microphone-based hearing. In practice, mixed-use listeners who stream moderately throughout the day still report reaching bedtime with charge to spare.

The inductive charging cradle supplied with the device is compact enough to sit on a bedside table or desk without occupying significant space. Placing the aids in the cradle is a single gesture — there are no covers to remove or contacts to align manually, which is important for users with arthritic fingers or limited dexterity. A quick-charge function provides approximately 3–4 hours of use from a 30-minute charge cycle, useful when the overnight charge is inadvertently skipped. The charging case itself can be powered via a standard micro-USB or USB-C cable (depending on the supplied adaptor), compatible with the same chargers used for most Indian Android phones. It is worth noting that the integrated battery is not user-replaceable; the expected battery lifespan before perceptible degradation is approximately 4–5 years under normal usage conditions, well within the 3-year warranty period offered by HearClear India.

The Signia Motion Charge&Go 5X is priced at ₹2,12,990 per pair at HearClear India, which is the real selling price with no hidden markups. This positions it firmly in the mid-premium segment — below the top-tier 7X flagship but above entry-level rechargeable options — and is consistent with what the Xperience 5X technology level commands across the Indian market. The pair pricing includes both left and right instruments, the charging cradle, a power adaptor, and a set of domes or a referral for custom earmould impression at the clinic.

HearClear offers EMI options starting from approximately ₹5,900 per month on standard 36-month no-cost EMI plans through leading bank cards and financing partners, making the device accessible without a large upfront outlay. A free hearing test is conducted at any of HearClear's 40+ clinics across India before the fitting — this is not a cursory screening but a full audiogram that informs the precise fitting prescription uploaded to the devices. The 3-day risk-free trial allows first-time buyers to experience the hearing aids in their actual daily environments before committing to the purchase. A comprehensive 3-year warranty covering manufacturer defects is included with every pair purchased through HearClear, alongside a service plan for periodic cleaning and verification checks. Accessories such as the Signia TV Streamer 2 or a portable charging case are available separately.

Buy the Motion Charge&Go 5X if: you have mild-to-severe hearing loss and want a straightforward, all-day rechargeable BTE device without the maintenance overhead of disposable batteries. It is particularly well-suited to first-time hearing-aid users who feel more confident handling a behind-the-ear body than a small in-canal shell, and to seniors who value a physical programme button alongside app control rather than app-only adjustments. Active users who commute, run errands, or work in varied acoustic environments will find the Xperience platform's motion-sensor scene detection genuinely useful rather than a marketing footnote. Those who regularly stream phone calls or watch television will benefit from the direct Bluetooth connection without needing an extra streaming box for most modern smartphones.

Consider alternatives if: your hearing loss profile is profound rather than severe — in that case, the Motion Charge&Go SP 5X (a super-power variant) is the more appropriate fitting. If discretion is your primary criterion and your loss is mild-to-moderate, a receiver-in-canal model such as the Pure 312 5AX offers a smaller visible profile. If you are regularly in very demanding noise environments — large wedding halls, factory floors, or loud restaurants — the 7X tier's expanded processing depth may justify the additional cost. And if you have single-sided deafness or asymmetric loss requiring a CROS solution, the Motion Charge&Go 5X is not the right product; The Kit Active Pro CROS IX would be the relevant alternative to discuss with your HearClear audiologist.

Purchasing a hearing aid of this calibre without professional fitting is counterproductive regardless of the device's inherent quality. At HearClear India, the process begins with a free comprehensive hearing test conducted by a qualified audiologist — this includes pure-tone audiometry, speech discrimination scoring, and, where relevant, tympanometry. The resulting audiogram is used to programme the Motion Charge&Go 5X to your specific hearing profile using Signia's Connexx fitting software, which applies real-ear verification targets to ensure the device delivers what the prescription specifies rather than what the default factory setting assumes.

After the initial fitting, follow-up appointments at any of the 40+ HearClear clinics across India allow for fine-tuning as your brain adapts to amplified sound — a process that typically takes several weeks. For users who cannot travel frequently, the Signia Telecare function within the app allows remote adjustments directly from the audiologist's computer to your hearing aids, reducing unnecessary clinic trips. The 3-year warranty on every pair purchased through HearClear covers manufacturing defects and component failures; it does not cover physical damage from drops or submersion beyond the IP68 specification, but HearClear's service team can advise on repair costs for accidental damage cases. Periodic maintenance — cleaning of microphone ports, tube replacement for BTE models, and software updates — is available at all clinic locations. Battery performance checks are recommended annually to ensure the integrated cell is retaining adequate capacity.
