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

The Motion Charge&Go 5X uses a traditional behind-the-ear housing — a design that places the microphones, processor, and rechargeable battery entirely behind the pinna, connected to a custom or standard earmould via a short sound tube. For users with moderate-to-profound loss, this architecture is practical: the larger housing can drive higher-output receivers and accommodate a sufficiently powerful battery without compromise.

The shell itself is smooth, with rounded edges that sit reasonably close to the head. Signia has trimmed bulk compared with older BTE generations, though this is still a device that will be visible at most hairstyles and ear lengths. For the target user — someone who has been wearing hearing aids for years, or who has been counselled that a BTE is the most suitable style for their audiogram — this is generally a non-issue. The push-button on the housing allows manual programme switching or volume adjustments without needing a smartphone.

The earmould is ordered separately and custom-made to the ear's impression, which adds to initial fitting time but greatly improves acoustic seal, comfort over long wear hours, and feedback prevention. Once the mould fits well, the Motion 5X can be worn comfortably for 12–16 hours without significant fatigue. The IP68 rating means sweat, light rain, and hand-washing situations are handled without concern, making it well-suited to India's humid climate. HearClear's audiologists take ear impressions on-site at any of the 40+ clinics as part of the fitting appointment.

The Motion Charge&Go 5X runs on Signia's Xperience (X-series) processing platform, which was designed around the concept of integrating motion sensing into sound processing decisions. The chip detects whether the wearer is stationary, walking, or in transit and adjusts the balance between directional focus and spatial awareness accordingly. This is particularly relevant for Indian users who move between very different sound environments — a quiet home, a crowded market, a noisy auto-rickshaw — within the same hour.

At the 5X tier, the device offers advanced noise reduction, directional microphone beamforming, and spatial processing. The 5X tier is a meaningful step above the 3X in real-world noisy environments: it has more processing capacity for separating speech from background noise, and its directionality system adapts more quickly to changing acoustic scenes. In group conversations, the beam adapts to help the primary speaker's voice stay clear. This does not eliminate background noise entirely — no hearing aid does — but it reduces listening fatigue noticeably over extended wear.

For users with moderate-to-profound loss, the Motion BTE can be fitted with a high-power receiver to match the audiogram. The fitting range extends to profound levels, giving the audiologist flexibility as hearing changes over time. Own Voice Processing (OVP), a Signia-specific feature, processes the wearer's own voice through a separate pathway, which addresses one of the most common complaints new hearing-aid users have — the sensation that their voice sounds boomy or unnatural. The 5X implementation of OVP delivers a noticeably more natural self-voice experience.

The Motion Charge&Go 5X connects directly to both iOS (iPhone) and Android smartphones via Bluetooth Low Energy, without requiring an intermediate streaming dongle. Audio — phone calls, music, podcast apps, YouTube, navigation instructions — streams in stereo to both ears. Call audio is handled as a hands-free connection: the caller's voice streams into the hearing aids while the device microphones pick up the wearer's voice and relay it back to the phone.

The Signia app (available free on the App Store and Google Play) gives the wearer real-time volume control, programme switching between presets such as Music, Restaurant, and Outdoors, and a personalisation slider called SoundSmoothing. For users who find that environmental sounds feel harsh, this slider allows a quick on-the-fly adjustment rather than waiting for an in-clinic visit. The app also displays battery level and supports Signia's TeleCare remote support platform — a feature that has grown significantly in relevance for patients in smaller Indian cities who visit HearClear's clinics less frequently than metropolitan users.

Remote fine-tuning via TeleCare allows an audiologist to send updated hearing-aid settings directly to the device through the app, which means that minor adjustments — a first follow-up after fitting, a tweak for a new environment — can be handled without a clinic visit. This is one of the more practically useful connectivity features for Indian buyers who live an hour or more from their nearest clinic. Signia's 2.4 GHz Bluetooth implementation also enables connection to Signia's own TV Streamer and remote microphone accessories, sold separately.

The Motion Charge&Go 5X uses an integrated lithium-ion rechargeable cell — there is no battery door and no disposable battery compartment. The charging case provided in the kit holds a full charge for the hearing aids, which takes approximately 3–4 hours from empty to full. A full charge delivers approximately 24 hours of use under typical conditions, meaning a single overnight charge is sufficient for a full waking day including several hours of Bluetooth streaming.

For users who stream audio heavily — 6–8 hours of streaming per day, common among working-age adults who use hearing aids during calls and media — battery life may reduce to approximately 16–18 hours, which is still comfortably within a single day's use for most people. The charging case itself can also act as a portable power bank for the hearing aids in some configurations, providing one or two additional charges on the go. This is particularly convenient for travel, especially for users visiting family in locations where a charging cable is not readily accessible.

The shift away from disposable zinc-air batteries is a significant quality-of-life improvement for users with moderate-to-severe loss and dexterity challenges — the tiny Size 13 or Size 675 batteries used in conventional BTEs can be genuinely difficult to handle for elderly users or those with arthritis. The Motion Charge&Go 5X eliminates this problem entirely. The lithium-ion cell is rated for several years of daily charge cycles before any meaningful capacity degradation, well within the 3-year warranty window covered by HearClear India.

The Signia Motion Charge&Go 5X is priced at ₹4,09,990 for a binaural kit (pair) at HearClear India — this is the selling price with no hidden add-ons. The kit includes the pair of hearing aids, the proprietary charging case with charging cable, and a standard set of earhooks or tubing. Custom earmoulds are ordered as part of the fitting process and are generally included or charged at nominal cost; confirm this at your clinic appointment.

At ₹4,09,990, this is a premium purchase for most Indian households. HearClear India offers EMI options through leading banks and fintech partners, which can spread the cost across 6, 12, or 24 months depending on the card or lender. On a 24-month no-cost EMI, the outflow works out to approximately ₹17,083 per month — a more manageable figure for salaried buyers. Income tax benefits under Section 80DD (for dependants with disability) and Section 80DDB may also apply depending on individual tax situations; consult a tax adviser for specifics.

HearClear's purchase also includes a free pre-fitting hearing test, professional audiologist fitting, and a 3-day risk-free trial period. The 3-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and repairs. Routine aftercare visits — cleaning, tubing or dome replacement, and minor programming adjustments — are available at all 40+ HearClear clinics nationwide. When evaluating total cost of ownership, factor in that this device eliminates disposable battery expenditure entirely, which at typical zinc-air pricing in India can amount to ₹3,000–₹6,000 per year for high-power BTE users.

Buy the Motion Charge&Go 5X if: your audiogram shows moderate-to-profound hearing loss and your audiologist recommends a behind-the-ear style for adequate power and a good acoustic seal. If you struggle with disposable battery handling — whether due to age, arthritis, or simply preference — the rechargeable design solves that problem completely. If you actively use a smartphone for calls and want your hearing aids to function as wireless earbuds for calls, the direct Bluetooth streaming is a genuine daily-use benefit. The 5X tier is well-suited if you move through a variety of sound environments regularly and want more noise management than an entry-level device provides, but are not yet convinced the premium 7X tier's additional processing is worth the price step.

Consider alternatives if: your hearing loss is mild-to-moderate — a smaller, less conspicuous device such as the Insio C&G CIC 7IX or Pure C&G T 7IX may fit your audiogram and lifestyle better. If you sit in very demanding listening situations daily — board meetings, large social gatherings, live performances — the 7X tier's superior spatial separation and higher channel count will likely justify its premium over this 5X model. If you have single-sided deafness or require a CROS system, the Motion 5X is not the right choice; the Styletto CROS and Silk CROS variants are designed for that need. Budget-conscious buyers who do not require Bluetooth streaming should speak with a HearClear audiologist about lower tiers in the Motion family, which retain the rechargeable design at a more accessible price.

Buying a high-powered BTE like the Motion Charge&Go 5X from a chain with in-house audiologists matters more than it might for a simpler device. The fitting process involves a calibrated hearing test, receiver selection to match the audiogram's high-frequency prescription, impression-taking for the custom earmould, and programming via Signia's Connexx fitting software. HearClear's audiologists are trained on Signia's full fitting protocol, including the OVP calibration step that customises the own-voice pathway to the individual wearer — skipping this step leads to the boomy-voice complaint that some users experience when buying from untrained retailers.

After the initial fitting, follow-up visits are standard practice. The first reprogramming is typically scheduled 2–4 weeks later, once the brain has begun adapting to amplified sound. HearClear includes these follow-up sessions as part of the service relationship. For patients outside major cities, Signia's TeleCare remote support — accessible through the Signia app — enables the audiologist to push updated programmes without a clinic visit, which is a practical advantage when the nearest HearClear clinic is a long distance away.

The 3-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use. This is meaningful for a device at this price point: repairs on out-of-warranty premium BTEs can run ₹10,000–₹30,000 depending on the fault. Routine maintenance — cleaning the microphone ports, replacing the earmould tubing, and checking the charging contacts — can be done during any clinic visit at any of HearClear's 40+ locations. Patients are advised to bring the charging case to every service visit so it can be checked alongside the aids. The 3-day risk-free trial at the point of purchase gives new buyers a structured opportunity to experience the device in their own home, workplace, and social settings before committing fully.
