Did Kamala Harris Wear Audio Earrings?

Just minutes after the 2024 presidential debate between Kamala Harris and President Trump kicked off, users on X claimed Kamala Harris’s earrings were audio earrings.

One user on X wrote, “It appears Kamala Harris was being coached by using earphones embedded in her earrings during the ABC presidential debate against President Trump.”

The host of InfoWars, Alex Jones, took to X and wrote, “Look at these Earpieces that look like earrings. Looks a lot like what Cackling Kamala was wearing. What do you think?”

Tara Bull on X wrote, “Rumors are circulating that Kamala Harris was wearing audio earrings and being fed lines.”

Community Notes, however, quickly fact-checked Tara and wrote, “Rumours are unfounded; Harris wore earrings by Tiffany & Co that she has worn many times before, not the Nova H1 Audio Earrings.”

Take a look at the earrings Kamala Harris was wearing compared to audio earrings:

The left-leaning Wired called the scoop about Kamala’s earrings a conspiracy theory:

In the wake of a debate performance that has been widely panned as disastrous, former president Donald Trump and his supporters have tried to explain the evening away by posting conspiracies about a “rigged” event, deeply misogynistic attacks on vice president Kamala Harris, and wild claims about the vice president’s earrings.

Within minutes of the debate ending, a brand new conspiracy emerged on X, focusing not on the content of what was said but on the earrings that Harris was wearing.

“It appears Kamala Harris was being coached by using earphones embedded in her earrings during the ABC presidential debate against President Trump,” one pro-Trump disinformation account with over half a million followers posted on X. Another major pro-Trump account also shared the conspiracy while the debate was still going on, and that post has been viewed over 5 millions times.

The claim is based on the fact that the earrings Harris was wearing bear a passing resemblance to a pair of so-called “audio earrings” that were sold on Kickstarter last year. “NOVA H1 Audio Earrings—the first and only wireless earphones embedded in a pair of pearl earrings,” the product description reads.

This conspiracy quickly gained traction among Trump supporters on Tuesday night as they grasped to excuse his poor performance. Numerous pro-Trump clickbait accounts on X and other supporters reshared the conspiracy, including Laura Loomer, a failed Florida congressional candidate and Trump acolyte who traveled with the former president to the debate.
