I have a question for those with a deeper background in headphones than me - anybody out there know which Koss headphones ultimately came of the patent pic in this drop? I have this print from a previous drop, and thought it would be cool to have the actual headphones to complement the framed picture. They kind of look like an early take on Porta-pros, but those came out in 1984. That seems too long to get to market from 1981. The closest headphones I can find from the early 80s looks like a K/6X plus or K/6LC, but there look to be some meaningful differences. Maybe somebody here remembers these from the good old days and can give me some insight? Thanks in advance for any help!

GunsOfBrixtonThat same form (the horizontal bar on the outter earpiece) appears in the 1990 HV/Pro also. The ad is from 1981 Sports Illustrated https://www.si.com/vault/issue/70986/9

JhawinsAwesome, thank you! I would double endorse if I could. What's funny is that I looked at that page probably 5 times, and even linked it from an unrelated post here - and I completely missed that picture. The 1990 version you pointed out (which I also missed) gave me the key clue I needed to close in on the original headphone in the print - a Koss HV/XLC. It also appeared in a re-branded version as the Realistic Pro 60 at Radio Shack.
