The controversy
Kim Kardashian’s headphones were released shortly after JLab founders called her out for copying their skin-tone earphone design.
JLab released their Go Air Tones in December of 2021 – months before Kim’s product launched.
Kim’s launch was followed by a mockumentary spoof video. “Before Beats x Kim, there was JLab x Win and the JLab GO Air Tones.”
The spoof showed a man decked out similarly to Kim in silver with blond locks, and takes aim at the mogul – and points out some of her more dubious claims about the “creative process” that she claimed to have shared with Beats.
The Kim K. lookalike, played by JLab CEO Win Cramer – the creative genius behind the spoof video – explained a bit about the JLab neutral tones earbud product.
“I thought to myself, there are no products in neutral colors, especially headphones so, I thought we’ll just tone it down and be neutral to compliment you. I’ve never seen headphones in neutral colors, and JLab is the first with the GO Air Tones,”Kim, the knockoff-accuser
The reality star said in her Beats behind-the-scenes video for the product which is just being released this month, that she came up with the concept all on her own.
