    Buckingham Nicks Finally Gets a Reissue: The Rhino in the Room Exposed with Kevin Gray

    The Rhino in the room can’t be ignored: after decades in the vault, Buckingham Nicks is finally getting a reissue. eCoustics Editors Eric Pye, Jeremy Sikora, and producer Mitch Anderson team up with mastering engineer Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) to dig into why this cult classic vanished, why it’s back now, and what it means for fans who’ve been chasing scratched LPs for years. Along the way, we get into the bigger picture—the state of the reissue market, the future of vinyl cutting, and why Fleetwood Mac drama still drives the mythology around this record. Chaos may have fueled the Mac, but this one’s all about clarity.

    Best Wireless Headphones and Earbuds of 2025 (so far)

    In this episode, William Jennings, our Senior Headphones and Portables Editor, dives deep into the wireless headphone and earbud game. He'll name-drop his top picks for 2025 and share his thoughts on where this market is headed. The good news? Bluetooth and noise cancellation are finally living up to their promises, and the sound gap between wired and wireless is closing fast—especially in the high-end stuff. Whether you're stuck on Sony or Bose, or willing to drop some serious cash on Focal or Bowers & Wilkins, or just wondering if wireless really can stack up to the wired heavyweights—this episode's got the answers.
