Probably as close as one can get to "true DF", though it's extremely shouty as a result.

Shouty thanks to 13dB of pinna compensation, but excellent note definition and imaging for the price.

Great bass elevation with some bleed into the midrange. Treble has some zing around the 8k and 10k area to compensate for the warmth. Solid warm pick, great cable.
