A tech company has added fuel to the Kamala Harris earrings conspiracy theory after quipping that her debate night jewelry is strikingly similar to the Bluetooth devices it makes \u2014 and has even offered to design \u201corange\u201d ones for Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claims that Harris, 59, was fitted with clip-on audio headphones disguised as pearl earrings for her showdown against the former president, 78, have been spreading like wildfire on social media in the wake of Tuesday\u2019s presidential debate.<\/p>\n\n\n

Now, Germany-based company Icebach Sound Solutions has weighed in on the viral saga after conspiracy-minded Trump supporters claimed the vice president was wearing a pair of its Bluetooth devices \u2014 the Nova H1 Audio Earring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe 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,\u201d Icebach\u2019s managing director, Malte Iversen, said in a tongue-in-cheek statement to tech outlet Tom\u2019s Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cTo 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the company has also vowed to clear up the \u201crumors and myths surrounding our wonderful products\u201d during a forthcoming appearance on \u201cThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cFollowing the presidential debate we have been contacted by numerous TV shows for interviews,\u201d a message on the Munich-based company\u2019s website states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter thorough discussions we have decided that we will grant one live interview \u2026 our chosen interviewer is Jimmy Fallon, a trusted Bavarian in heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t immediately clear when the supposed Fallon appearance was slated to air.<\/p>\n\n\n

Icebach\u2019s managing director, Malte Iversen, said Harris\u2019 earrings bear a \u201cstriking resemblance\u201d to its Bluetooth devices.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Germany-based\u00a0company Icebach Sound Solutions has weighed in on the viral saga after conspiracy-minded Trump supporters claimed the vice president was wearing a pair of its Bluetooth devices \u2014 the\u00a0Nova H1 Audio Earring. Icebach Sound Solutions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The so-called \u201cearring-gate\u201d controversy erupted after several right-wingers zeroed in on the vice president\u2019s pearls \u2014 claiming they contained a clandestine Bluetooth device that enabled her to be coached by unseen aides during the ABC News debate in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NOVA H1 Audio Earrings, though, bear very little resemblance to the ones Harris wore \u2014 except for the fact that both include pearls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The veep\u2019s actual earrings appeared to look more like a gold version of the Double Pearl Hinged Earrings from Tiffany & Co<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sterling silver version of the Tiffany earrings, which retail for $800, appear to have sold out, according to the luxe brand\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clip-on NOVA H1 Audio Earrings, meanwhile, sell for roughly $625 apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris, for her part, has previously bashed Bluetooth earpieces as a security threat and has been spotted using wired earbuds on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, similar theories spread on social media during the 2020 and 2016 election cycles with claims that President Biden and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton were both using earpieces during their debates against Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact-checking websites quickly shot down those claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Trump appeared to add to the Harris conspiracies Wednesday, suggesting to Fox News that the veep had received advance knowledge of what would be discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey had a rigged show with somebody that maybe even had the answers,\u201d he said. \u201cI mean, I\u2019ll be honest, I watched her talk and I said, \u2018You know, she seems awfully familiar with the questions.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
