The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 comes with a host of improvements over its predecessor, including a bigger cover display and a faster and more efficient processor. Needless to say, the smartphone will be on many buyers’ wishlists. That said, Samsung doesn’t bundle any accessories with the smartphone. What’s more, the Galaxy Z Flip5 doesn’t ship with a headphone jack either. As such, you must pick up the best TWS earbuds for the Galaxy Z Flip5 to enjoy listening to music or watching movies on the smartphone.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is a pricey smartphone. As such, we have compiled a list of five versatile earbuds that cater to buyers with different budgets. We’ll be listing the pros and cons of each earbud, so take a gander.

Now, let’s take a look at the best TWS earbuds for the Galaxy Z Flip5.
1. EarFun Air Pro 3
If you’re on the lookout for a pair of fun-sounding TWS earbuds, you will find plenty to like about the EarFun Air Pro 3. For starters, the earbuds are the most affordable TWS headset on the list. However, don’t let the Air Pro 3’s wallet-friendly price fool you.
We say this, as the headset is replete with superb features. For one, it supports Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive Bluetooth codec, which ensures the buds can relay CD-quality music to your ears. And, seeing how the headset is backed by a pair of 11mm dynamic drivers, you can expect it to offer a meaty bass response too.
And, the proof is in the pudding too. In fact, per numerous outlets, the earbuds overturn deep and rich beats. Additionally, the buds come with support for ANC technology and can seemingly cancel out external noise really well too. We should also add that the Air Pro 3 is compliant with multi-point connectivity tech, so you should be able to pair the earphones to two devices simultaneously.
What We Like
- Enjoyable sound with good bass output
- Affordable
- Supports multi-point connectivity
What We Don’t Like
- Companion app’s interface could’ve been better
2. Samsung Galaxy Buds2
Little did you know, Samsung makes splendid audio products too. Case in point; the company’s Galaxy Buds2, which is a stylish and capable TWS headset for the masses. Notably, the earbuds can be snagged in a slew of colors, including Lavender, Graphite, White, and Olive Green.
You can color-match the earbuds with your Galaxy Z Flip5 for maximum style points. As for the sound quality, the earbuds offer an immersive sound output that sways in favor of the low-end ever so slightly. Note that the bass output doesn’t overwhelm the rest of the frequency spectrum. On the contrary, the Buds2 gives equal emphasis to the mids and the highs too.
Now, unlike some other TWS earbuds on the list, the Galaxy Buds2 works best with a Samsung Galaxy phone. We say this, as the earbuds can make use of the company’s Scalable Bluetooth codec in conjunction with the Z Flip5 to relay hi-res media over to your ears. While the earbuds will still work with other Android smartphones, they will operate over the SBC or AAC Bluetooth codecs. What’s more, the Buds2 can be used to seamlessly switch between two Galaxy devices as well.
What We Like
- Good sound output
- Affordable
- Good ANC
What We Don’t Like
- Multipoint only works for Galaxy devices
- Hi-res music playback is limited to Galaxy smartphones
3. Google Pixel Buds A-series
Buyers looking for a no-frills TWS headset will find plenty to like about the Google Pixel Buds A-series. While not as feature-rich as the Pixel Buds Pro, the Pixel Buds A-series bring enough to the table to warrant a purchase.
The Pixel Buds A-series ships in a variety of colors, including Sea, Clearly White, Dark Olive, and Charcoal. We’ve shortlisted the Sea colorway, although buyers looking to save a buck can opt for the Clearly White hue as it is the most affordable of the lot.
Moving on, the Pixel Buds A-series employs custom 12mm dynamic drivers that, per the customer reviews, deliver deep and clear sound.
Additionally, the buds seemingly stay in users’ ears too, as cited in a handful of reviews. Coupled with their IPX4 rating, the earbuds can be used in a gym, or when you’re out for a run. Speaking of which, while the buds lack ANC, the pair does come with a transparency mode of sorts that should keep you in tune with your surroundings.
What We Like
- Good sound output
- Affordable
What We Don’t Like
- Doesn’t support hi-res audio playback
- No ANC
4. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro is, quite possibly, the best TWS earbud to go along with the Galaxy Z Flip5. For one, the earbuds ship with a dual-driver array comprising a woofer and a tweeter. In conjunction, the unit overturns crisp vocals and tight beats.
What’s more, the earbuds support the Samsung Seamless Codec, which allows the Buds 2 Pro to relay lossless music over Bluetooth. Now, it goes without saying that the SSC codec works best when the Buds 2 Pro is paired with a Samsung smartphone. For everyone else, the Buds 2 Pro defaults to the SBC and AAC codecs. Moving on, the earbuds connect to compatible devices over Bluetooth v5.3 and come with an IPX7 rating.
As such, you should be able to use the earbuds when you’re sweating it out in a gym without worrying about damaging the pair. Moving on, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro supports Intelligent ANC as well as a smart transparency mode which can be triggered the second you engage in a conversation with someone.
Correspondingly, you won’t have to sift between different modes or take the earbuds out to hear someone clearly. We should also add that the Buds 2 Pro’s case supports wireless charging, which is excellent.

- G-SYNC compatible
- High refresh rate of 165Hz
- Eye-care features
- Decent speakers
What We Don’t Like
- Black uniformity issues
- No USB-C Port
5. Sony WF-1000XM4
Sony is revered in the audio industry, and for good reason. Take the company’s WF-1000XM4, for instance, which offers an impeccable audio output. To that end, the earbuds overturn meaty beats with good depth and offer excellent instrument separation.
The same can be accredited, at least in parts, to the earbuds’ LDAC codec, which can relay bountiful information over Bluetooth. In fact, buyers who are subscribed to lossless streaming services like Tidal and Apple Music will find plenty to like here.
Additionally, the earbuds offer superb ANC, which will come in handy if you are seated in a noisy workplace. What’s more, you can finetune the ANC, or choose an adaptive ANC profile via the company’s Headphone Connect app as well.
That’s not all; the WF-1000XM4 comes with an IPX4 splash-proof rating, so you can use it by the pool, or in a gym seamlessly. What’s more, you even get granular control over ambient noise, along with a ‘speak-to-chat’ feature that automatically pauses the music playback when you start talking to someone. All said and done, the WF-1000XM4 sounds great and is bundled with a truckload of features that enhance a user’s overall experience.
What We Like
- Stellar sound output
- ANC
- Intuitive Speak to Chat feature
- Case supports wireless charging
- Supports Hi-res music playback
