Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris has been thrust into the spotlight following Tuesday's ABC News debate.
The focus, however, was not on her political rhetoric but rather her choice of accessories. Critics have suggested that the earrings she donned during the debate bore a striking resemblance to a bluetooth earpiece.
According to The Post Millennial, the controversy has drawn the attention of Germany-based company Icebach Sound Solutions, which produces the Nova H1 Audio Earring. Retailing at $625 per pair, these earrings are not just a fashion statement but also a technological marvel. "The resemblance is striking," commented Icebach Managing Director Malte Iverson, although he could not confirm whether Harris was indeed wearing their product. He further noted, "Our product was not specifically developed for the use at presidential debates, it is nonetheless suited for it."
Iverson also revealed that Icebach is developing a male version of the product, potentially offering it to the Trump campaign. However, he humorously added that the choice of color could be challenging as "orange does not go well with a lot of colors."
Icebach's website stated on Friday afternoon that they have been inundated with interview requests since the debate. "After careful deliberation, weve decided that Jimmy Fallon, a trusted Bavarian at heart, will get the exclusive," the statement read.
The Nova H1 Audio Earring, according to its Kickstarter page, is a clip-on earpiece that can "project sound from inside the pearl straight into your ear canal." The site further elaborated that these earrings are "fully packed with the latest technology embedded in real pearls to provide you with music, phone calls and digital assistants all day long." However, some customers have expressed dissatisfaction, claiming they did not receive the product they paid for.
Despite the controversy, the New York Post suggests that Harris' earrings were more likely a set of gold and pearl earrings from Tiffany & Co.
