I am an amateur audiophile and am currently rocking the following setup:
-Beyerdyanmic Amiron Homes

-Schiit Modi+/Magni+ combo

While I appreciate the crispness of the sound, I find myself missing some warmth/more bass response. I listen to mostly eletronic (ambient, IDM, bass music), hiphop and classical.

I am considering either upgrading to the Audeze LCD-2C or EQing my Amirons/the laptop I have my setup affixed to.

My questions that I humbly ask you to consider:

1. Would the LCD-2C be a warmer/bassier upgrade to the Amirons?
2. Would EQ'ing solve my issue? I am going to try this anyways but wanted to hear people's opinions on the matter.
3. I'm open to any other suggestions for feedback. I am mostly looking for a open back headphone with a bassier/warmer sound that I can find used for under $550.

Thanks for your help!

eq is an easy and free option, you could always try EQ first, then upgrade if it doesn't do what you want

1. Would EQ'ing solve my issue? I am going to try this anyways but wanted to hear people's opinions on the matter.

a subtle 4dB Boost at about 85Hz is a nice way to boost bass without muddying the rest of the frequencies.
any more than about 5dB then you could get Harmonic Distortion issues.
i would recommend Equaliser APO, Peace EQ

Those have a lot of mid bass but not a deep extension. Try in a music player you have, to add +3 or 4db to the lowest slider, like 31hz if it's got that. If there's a preamp reduction like in Musicbee then bring it down for each db you increase.
