A company that makes Bluetooth earrings similar to the jewelry Kamala Harris wore during his debate has also offered its products to Donald Trump, but with one caveat.
Harris, who has previously suggested that Bluetooth headphones pose a “security risk,” was accused of wearing earbuds disguised as pearl earrings to help her during Tuesday’s 90-minute battle against Republican rival Donald Trump.
Critics have unfoundedly claimed that the gold pearl loops — which Harris, 59, has previously worn and are believed to be from Tiffany’s — are in fact a pair of smart audio earrings designed by German start-up company NOVA. The only similarity between the two sets of earrings appears to be that they both feature a pearl.
Malte Iversen, director of Icebach Sound, a company that produces NOVA, says he can neither confirm nor deny that they are his earrings.
“We do not know if Ms. Harris wore any of our products. The resemblance is striking and while our product was not specifically developed for use in presidential debates, it is nonetheless appropriate,” Iversen said in a statement.

He then made a little joke about Harris’ opponent, while at the same time giving him a chance to even the score.
“To ensure a level playing field for both candidates, we are currently developing a male version and will be able to offer it to the Trump campaign soon. The choice of color is a bit tricky, though, because orange doesn’t go well with many colors,” Iversen said. Only the news.
He also clarified that the company is currently going through tough times, saying that they are facing a lawsuit from a Chinese tech company for violating their patents. He added that they have also run out of stock.
‘We are in discussions with investors to scale up operations and we are confident that we will be able to resume deliveries soon.’
Harris and Trump faced off in a heated debate for the first — and possibly last — time before the election on Tuesday. The contest saw the vice president take aim at the GOP nominee with digs at his economic policies, refusal to concede his 2020 election defeat and even his rallies.
Trump, who entered uncharted territory by making accusations about eating pets and executing babies, responded by criticizing Democrats’ stance on immigration and inflation.
An X account called The Maverick Approach, which claims to be an “alternative news” source, is heavily promoting the earbud conspiracy theory.
“There is a big problem with this debate,” the account tweeted. “I told myself she was told what to say during the debate and my suspicion was correct. Nova is the world’s first and only wireless earbuds.”

The Maverick Approach added: “Nothing is what it seems.”
The account shared a photo of Harris at last night’s game, clearly showing her earrings. It also shared a link to the NOVA H1 Audio Earrings, which are said to be the “first clip-on earbuds on the planet.”
A Kickstarter page promoting the technology says the earrings are placed on the earlobes and can “project sound from the bead directly into your ear canal.”
“Each Earring contains two small, high-quality microphones, which guarantee the user crystal-clear phone calls and suppress wind noise,” the advertisement states.
‘These earrings are packed with the latest technology, incorporated into real pearls. So you can enjoy music, phone calls and digital assistants all day long.’
The NOVA H1 earrings, which retail for about $625, come in gold, but otherwise bear no resemblance to the earrings Harris wore on Tuesday night.
The NOVA earrings appear to be almost a crescent moon, while the pair Harris wore has a double gold loop beneath the gemstone.
Harris’ supporters, who have taken aim at her online critics, claim that her earrings are nearly identical to a pair from Tiffany that retailed for more than $2,000. The earrings are no longer available on the retailer’s website.

The vice president came under fire last week after she was spotted wearing headphones as she pushed her way through a group of reporters attempting to question her.
Harris, who took more than a month to give an interview to a major media outlet after announcing her presidential candidacy, was filmed boarding her plane as she left Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to campaign in the Midwest.
In the clip, reporters can be heard trying to get Harris’ attention, but the vice president merely waves dismissively as she puts on her headphones, as if taking a phone call.
