I don't find them hard to drive either.
Well, yes ... They are pretty neutral and quite natural sounding (240DF, 501 and 701 which is what I own). No doubt about that.
But, at the same time, you can say the same for a wide range of headphones that sound decidedly different from each other (some models of Senns, Beyers, Ultrasone, etc) but still pretty neutral and natural.
The truth about neutrality must be somewhere in the middle, at least that my take on that.
Later Edit :Must also say - I take a very subjective approach when choosing headphones, at least, and I'm sure that my taste and preferences override my notion of absolute neutrality.
