new headphones recommendation? grado gs3000e or…

hi, im in the market for new headphones.

i have an old pair of grado rs2s that i really like (~15 years old), so i thought id go with the gs3000es.

problem is, i havent had the best experience with grado… my rs2s arrived damaged when new (headband damaged), and i recently received a pair of gs3000es (for xmas from wife), and those were damaged too (headband damage and one of the internal magnets was loose). i received a replacement pair, but the replacement pair’s wood was very boring in appearance (just a uniform dark brown; call me shallow, but part of the fun of having cans made from cocobolo wood is its appearance). the seller, 4ourears, would not exchange the replacement pair for another pair on the basis of appearance, so i just returned them and paid a restocking fee.

i like the grado sound when wood is used, even though theyre not considered the most accurate/neutral.

i like sparkling highs, textured mids, and tight bass (i hate excessive, boomy bass).

considering a price of $2000 - $4000, what would be some good alternatives to the gs3000e? should i just take the plunge and get electrostatics?

oh yeah, these headphones will be used exclusively at home, basically just for music.

thank you!
