bassy
Heavy low frequencies
Bassy describes sound that is heavy in bass frequencies—the low, deep tones in music or audio.
A bassy speaker emphasizes these lower frequencies: The new subwoofer makes everything sound too bassy.
The term is informal and common in discussions of audio equipment, music production, and car stereos.
