    Earlier this year, Amazon introduced an "Alexa Mobile Accessory Kit" with the aim of bringing the company's personal voice assistant to wearables and headphones. This week at Computex 2018, I managed to get a closer look at a pair of headphones to make use of exactly that, but with a twist. In addition to Bluetooth, the Liva Aston Smart headphones actually has Wi-Fi built-in. So as long as you hook it up to your router (you'll need the app at least once for setup), you'll then be able to use it interact with Alexa, no Echo or phone required. The company claims it is the very first pair of WiFi headphones to have Alexa built in.
