In honor of our 100th podcast, the eCoustics team sat down to look back at four years of podcasting and some of the biggest shifts we’ve seen in the world of hi-fi, headphones, home theater, and physical media. It’s been a wild ride—from the vinyl and CD revival to the steady rise of vintage audio, the tug-of-war between TVs and projectors, and the never-ending debate over whether spatial audio is the future or just another gimmick.
We also talk about what’s gotten more expensive (spoiler: nearly everything), what’s gotten better, and where we think the industry is headed next.
Thanks to our growing community of listeners and to the sponsors who’ve helped keep the podcast going strong since 2021.
