Charged my new headphones overnight

Charged my new headphones overnight for a race the next morning. At the starting line, they would not start up and the blue light was flashing. So disappointing.
I love how I can put in earplugs and still listen to music while I mow and they are great for the slow hunting days you can have sound from your phone but still hear stuff coming through the brush. Awesome
They are only a few months old, and were freshly charged, and died after about 4.5 hours (no where near the 8 hours advertised). I bought these explicitly for a race that would take me about 5 hours and they didn't make it through.
I have complete bone conduction hearing loss in my right ear due to an injury and with these headphones I can hear perfectly in that ear. With regular headphones I can not hear the output in my right ear so it’s one sided. With Shokz I get sound in both ears. I love these so much!
2 things I like most about these headphones: 1. I have small ears and earbuds fall out. With these headphones, they stay on no matter what I'm doing. Running, bending, jumping, or picking up the grands. 2. I can hear noises outside the headphones - i.e. traffic & talking. I feel safer running and walking with these because I can hear cars and people.
I love these so much! I've never run with music in the 17 years I've been running because ear buds would never stay in my ears. When I was introduced to these, I finally decided to run with music. Haven't looked back since! They are so comfortable and you forget that you're even wearing them! 10/10 recommend!! Also the safest thing on the market because you can still hear your surroundings!
I bought them so that I could both listen to podcasts and hear my surroundings while biking. Sadly there's too much background noise on my commute for me to hear the audio properly. I have used them to listen to music too, but the because of the technology they use, they don't sound that fantastic. I think I'll go back to just using one single earphone again.
The combination of these, glasses and a bike helmet mostly works. But occasionally they do get a bit in a battle with my glasses.
Besides that they were easy to set up and work fine. Annoying to have to use a special charger though.
