I'm talking sound and comfort. I've tried the Apple Airpods v2 and the Galaxy Buds from Samsung Gear. The Airpods are more comfortable and have a richer sound. The Galaxy Buds have a cleaner sound but aren't very good for long term listening as my ears became sore after a couple hours.
Both of them had issues with connection when walking outdoors, at least in my neighborhood. Not sure if its a problem with the earbud or the all the signals outside in my neighborhood. I used both earbuds on three different phones with the same results so I know its not the phone.
Just curious what others use for completely wireless earbuds. Again, comfort and sound are most important to me. [Reply]

I gave up on earbuds years ago. They always hurt my ears, they fall out constantly, I can never get them snug in my ear canal to maximize noise cancellation.
I realize this is quite the opposite of what you asked but I specifically chose to walk around with noise cancelling over the ear headphones. Get the best of all worlds. Rich bass, clear mids/highs, I don't hear anything else, and others get the idea that I am not available for conversation. [Reply]

I get that, wired is obviously the best option. I just don't want cans on my head and all that. [Reply]
The signal never dropped once but the sound was pure shit. :-)
I bought these.

They’re not the best sound but pretty good for earbuds. [Reply]
I use them several hours per day, both on the train and at the office. I won't say the sound is great, but it's good enough. Battery life is excellent; I basically charge them at night and they're good to go for hours the next day. And I like the idea of them being secure around my neck; I don't trust those single ear models not to fall out, nor do I trust myself not to lose them. I also like being able to remove the bud, push a button and have the cord immediately wind back into the housing.
One negative - don't fold them. The hinges suck and wear out fast if you do. [Reply]
I've tried at least 10 different brands, my Samsung Galaxy Buds are my favorite. If you dont like those I can't help you. I have a buddy that swears by the JBL buds, and I know the Jabra Elite 65t's are by far the most popular but I didn't have a good experience with them. [Reply]
Trying the Liberty Air 2 now. Quite a few sites were comparing then to the Apple Airpod Pro. Gotta say, I'm pretty impressed so far. They have a feature in the app called Hear ID that runs each ear through a series of sounds to determine the best EQ for you. I'm getting a very rich sound out of them after that. I'll see how my walk goes with them tomorrow. [Reply]
I don't have any suggestions for you but I will say that I am pretty happy with my Galaxy Buds. Bought them refurb for $99 on Amazon. The one issue was the software. I had to delete my network settings to get the sound volume up to par. Reading online this is a common issue. [Reply]
By far the best sounds in the low mid and high ranges. And you actually feel the bass with these. Highly recommend these if anyone is looking into Bluetooth buds. [Reply]
