SeekerUltimate Ears MEGABLAST
The Ultimate Ears MEGABLAST is amazing for voice assistants. It has built-in Alexa support over a Wi-Fi connection, which you can activate using your voice. Alexa can hear you clearly even if you aren't very close to the speaker, and it does a decent job understanding you in a noisy setting. You can also mute the microphone by pressing the Bluetooth and the volume down buttons at the same time.
