They're not actually that bassy, Audeze has never made a bassy headphone they're dead flat which actually is less bass than what certain recordings are meant to show. Flat bass = lack of reverb and bass presence(don't confuse flat bass with neutral in talking flat as in lack of bass boost which headphones do need to account for bass body and reverberation)Hello.
How to make audeze lcd 2 (non fazor) / lcd 2c less bassy and more clear on bottom highs?
If you're getting more bass you're prob used to headphones with less mid bass I can't actually think of another headphone with less mid bass presence than the LCD-2 or any of it's 5 revisions. The LCD-2 has a upper mid or lower treble recession depending on peoples perception so just bring it up with EQ to taste. Going to the 2F like the other user suggested is pointless as the tuning isn't much different compared to the 2C but the original LCD-2 is a bit different in a few aspects.
If you don't want to bother with EQ and want an excuse to buy a different headphone try the Sennheiser HD560S which has a fairly linear bass and way more presence upper mids and you get a better instrument timbre and more natural voicing as a bonus, no need to spend loads but personally I'd experiment with EQ first.
