Sony WP-SP700N
The Sony WF-SP700N were recently unveiled by the company and cost almost the same. It also comes with all the features the JBL Free comes with. However, these come with IP67 water and dust resistance. The only one in its class. Also, these are a tad more expensive.
Apple Airpods
The Apple Airpods are known by all to start the completely wireless earbuds trend. These are however a tad more expensive but comes with full support for Siri. Also, these are easy as anything to pair. However, all of this applies if you own an iPhone though.
