We spent this wonderful afternoon with a team from one of the top audio companies in the world. Their team lead, a man in his 40s, happily wore our earring! It was our teal statement earring which is very unisex.

Are you assuming men can’t wear earrings?

It’s quite common. Many men wear plug earrings. It’s true, hanging earrings are rare for men. When i was a teenager I was wearing one in my left year. Looking back it makes me cringe, I dont know why.

That was the time to experiment! I am sure you are glad you took the fashion risk. Who are we without our stories and adventures!

I've been in meetings where people have been upset ; our product only targets 1/2 the planet, how can we convince the other sex to wear/use it?

If you break the (mild for some) earring stigma, and even further the dangling earring fashion stigma for men, you'd be making history.

And a tech product might just do that.

I have had my ears pierced and would happily re-pierce them for the right wearable, but their current designs absolutely would look clownish twinned with most masculine outfits.
