Whether you’re streaming hi-res tracks from the cloud or spinning vinyl, you can elevate your listening experience with everything from affordable but sonically spacious replacement buds to handcrafted cans like these Klipsch Heritage HP-3 headphones ($1,199; klipsch.com).

They are part of a golden age of headphones, which includes longer wireless range and models that can translate in real time. Here are the best new sets of headphones you can buy right now.
