What Wired staffers bought this month
I love my iPod but hate its wimpy, tinny earbuds. So I replaced them with a pair of Grado SR60s. They look like AV lab equipment circa 1981 yet cater to audio snobs, packing high-end quality into lightweight plastic and foam. These cans give vibrant fidelity, even at low volume. - Stuart Luman
Grado Prestige SR60 $70, www.gradolabs.com
When I'm dangling from an overhang on Indian Rock, I gotta have shoes I can trust. My Five Ten Spires are made with Stealth C4, a supersturdy, high-friction rubber that molds to the shape of rock. It's what Tobey Maguire uses to scale walls in Spider-Man II. I feel safer already. - Cliff Agocs
Five Ten Spires $99, www.fiveten.com
My PC game collection ate up 40 gigs of storage like Pac-Man chomps power pills. So I upgraded to a Western Digital hard drive three times bigger for about a buck a gig. Eight megs of buffer memory means that levels load quicker than ever. This'll hold me until Doom 5 or 6 comes out. - Mark Wasyl
Western Digital 1200JB $150, www.westerndigital.com
