Supreme vs. Original
Supreme version
About the original
The Koss PortaPro is an on-ear headphone introduced in 1984, built with oxygen-free copper voice coils, open-air dynamic drivers, and a collapsible frame with adjustable temporal-zone comfort-setting pads that redistribute pressure from the ears to the temples. Koss Corporation was founded by John C. Koss in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1953 and shipped the first stereophone in 1958. The PortaPro is covered by a lifetime limited warranty and has been manufactured continuously, unchanged, for over forty years. The FW23 Supreme collab retailed at $68 against the standard $50 retail, with box-logo printing on the earcups.
