UPDATE: Company Responds To Claim Kamala Harris Wore “Audio Earrings” At Debate


Earlier today, we brought you the report that many people were claiming Kamala Harris wore “Audio Earrings” to the Debate last night.

What are “Audio Earrings”?

Basically, an ear-piece disguised as jewelry, to allow for someone to feed Kamala Harris what to say during the Debate.

In case you missed that story, I’ll post it down below.

But now we have an update!

Against all odds, the company itself has actually responded to the controversy:

BREAKING REPORT: Wireless Audio Earrings Company ADDRESSES SPECULATION About Kamala Harris Wearing Earpiece During Presidential Debate, says the RESEMBLANCE is striking…

“We do not know whether Mrs. Harris wore one of our products. The resemblance is striking and while our product was not specifically developed for the use at presidential debates, it is nonetheless suited for it,”

“To ensure a level playing field for both candidates, we are currently developing a male version and will soon be able to offer it to the Trump campaign. The choice of color is a bit challenging though as orange does not go well with a lot of colors.”

“Currently, we are unfortunately out of stock and also busy preparing a lawsuit against a big Chinese tech company breaching our patents,” Iversen continued.

“We are talking to investors in order to ramp up operations accordingly and are confident that we will ship again very soon.”

Malte Iversen, managing director at Icebach Sound

I want to be very clear here, I think what you have is a company obviously poking fun at the situation and massively trolling.

No, I do not think this is “confirmation” that the rumors are true.

This is epic level trolling.

It turns out we got the comments because John Solomon’s JustTheNews contacted the company and asked for a comment:

Following the presidential debate on Tuesday, social media users theorized that Vice President Kamala Harris wore audio earrings on stage. The Germany-based company that sells the earrings said on Wednesday that the resemblance between Harris’ earrings and their audio earrings “is striking.”

On Tuesday night, Harris wore what appeared to be gold and pearl earrings while debating former President Donald Trump. Social media users compared the earrings to NOVA H1 Audio Earrings, which are wireless earphones. Media outlets and other social media users examined the earrings, coming to the conclusion that Harris’ earrings are from Tiffany & Co., not NOVA products.

Just the News requested comment from Icebach Sound, the Munich-based company that sells the earrings.

“We do not know whether Mrs. Harris wore one of our products. The resemblance is striking and while our product was not specifically developed for the use at presidential debates, it is nonetheless suited for it,” Malte Iversen, managing director at Icebach Sound, told Just the News on Wednesday.

“To ensure a level playing field for both candidates, we are currently developing a male version and will soon be able to offer it to the Trump campaign. The choice of colour is a bit challenging though as orange does not go well with a lot of colours.

“Currently, we are unfortunately out of stock and also busy preparing a lawsuit against a big Chinese tech company breaching our patents,” Iversen continued. “We are talking to investors in order to ramp up operations accordingly and are confident that we will ship again very soon.”

Well done, Icebach Sound.

Master level trolling and way to seize an opportunity!

In case you missed the original report, here it is:

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.
