Amid a series of allegations from Republican supporters that Kamala Harris wore Bluetooth earrings disguised as pearls during her debate with Donald Trump, the company behind a similar accessory has now come forward. After the candidates clashed on ABC over their differing views on America’s pressing issues such as the economy, immigration, etc., the Democratic presidential hopeful faced unsubstantiated claims that her gold pearl earrings, believed to be from Tiffany, were actually smart audio devices from German startup NOVA.

Bluetooth earring maker responds to Harris’ claims

After the debate ended on Tuesday and the public and publishers debated the winner, some Twitter users compared the headphones Kamala Harris was wearing to NOVA’s H1 model, claiming she may have cheated. Speaking to Just News and Forbes, Malte Iversen, CEO of NOVA’s Icebach Sound, addressed the situation.

Iversen did not confirm or deny whether Harris was wearing her product. “We are not sure whether Ms. Harris was wearing one of our headphones. The resemblance is striking and although our product is not specifically designed for presidential debates, it is nevertheless suitable for this use,” he told Just News on Wednesday.

“Male version coming soon”

Iversen took a playful dig at Kamala Harris’ opponent Donald Trump, making him a fair game offer. “We are currently developing a male version and will soon be able to offer it to the Trump campaign. However, it is difficult to find the right color because orange does not blend well with many shades,” he joked. For those who want to buy the product, they are currently sold out, according to the executive, who also mentioned that the company is facing difficulties, including a lawsuit from a Chinese technology company for patent infringement.

“We are talking to investors to ramp up operations accordingly and are confident that we will be able to start delivering again very soon.”

Did Kamala Harris wear the earrings?

Currently, this claim is completely unfounded and baseless, as the Vice President has frequently been seen wearing pearl jewelry, which she attributes to her deep connection to her sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA). Pearls are a significant symbol of AKA.

Harris was spotted wearing South Sea pearl earrings from Tiffany & Co., which are known for featuring a pearl on two gold bars. According to Forbes, the Nova H1 Audio earrings look different because they only have one clip instead of the double bar arrangement of Harris’ earrings.
