  • It used to work properly. I can use the challenge-response to unlock my password manager and I can use passkeys just fine, but for whatever reason it won’t show me one-time codes.

    pcscd is installed, but I don’t believe it is functioning properly, even when I enable it

    The Yubikey is plugged into a USB C port. The same issue persists even when used in the other USB C port.









  • I’ve had a pair of the K240s for a while and I have to be honest and say they are my least favorite headphones in the collection. The soundstage is good, but they are totally bass-anemic. Vocals are clear on the AKG K240 but I feel like that’s all they really have going for them.

    I don’t know which particular version of the K240 you have, I’m talking about the newer “AKG K240 Studio” that are rated at 55 ohms of impedance. It’s possible that older sets rated to be less sensitive have better tonal balance, but I feel these Studio ones are simply not it.

    I will say, however, I used the K240s when I was hosting a radio show and they were phenomenal for that application. Being able to talk into a microphone while also monitoring levels and not getting that awful feeling of speaking while wearing closed backs was great.

    At this point, I feel there are simply better, more balanced options that can offer even better soundstage with tonality that excels magnitudes beyond the K240. Sennheiser HD 6XX and Hifiman HE400SE most immediately come to mind.
