There is a confusing TV commercial I've seen a couple of times with a young woman riding on a train wearing a set of headphones. At one point it appears the train passes near a movie set where a truck of bananas get t-boned by a vehicle and bananas go flying everywhere. The woman presses a button on the headphones and give an Alexa command. I couldn't hear the command very well, but I think she tells Alexa to add or delete bananas from her shopping list. The commercial really doesn't seem to be advertising a new set of Alexa headphones, it seems to just be a general Alexa commercial. Kind of odd though, as it seems to have no real point to make other than Alexa exists.

As far as BT and Alexa devices (Echos and Taps), I've had issues with same. It never seems to be a seamless integration and it often is a bit flaky on execution. Hopefully they can improve that in the future. But currently I find trying to connect a smartphone to a Tap or Echo to stream music is hit and miss and rather sluggish at times, even when the two devices are three feet apart.
