THE ECLIPSE

 Measuring just 49.95mm in length, 17.58mm in depth and 24.82mm in height the 5.5g ECLIPSE is one of the tiniest wireless Bluetooth headsets currently available.

To get a better idea about just how small the ECLIPSE really is we placed it right next to the MiPoW VoxTube 500, the Plantronics Voyager Edge and the Plantronics Voyager Legend UC.

The Jabra logo is placed at the front of the headset and beneath that lies a small pressure sensor which you can use to control basic functions just by tapping your finger on it (answer calls by taping once, end calls by tapping twice and check battery status by tapping once when not in a call). The headset also supports voice commands such as answer and ignore if tapping is not ideal for you (you guessed right, no volume control from the headset).

The dual microphones are placed behind a perforated section at the front of the headset.

Unfortunately unlike other headsets the ECLIPSE can only be recharged in its base via these two metal connectors.

To replace the default eargel with one of the bundled ones just pull it.

Using a 6mm driver means you shouldn't expect plenty of volume from the ECLIPSE but that's expected from such a tiny headset.

Remember the STONE3 charging base? Well the ECLIPSE charging base looks a lot like it and features a nice rubber coating on the sides and belly (three white battery status LEDs are placed on the top right of the base).

One of the things i liked about the STONE3 was its small charging base so i was glad to see that the ECLIPSE also comes with an equally small one (we placed it right next to the charging cases of the Voyager Edge and Legend UC).

These metal connectors not only feed power to the headset but also give it the power on command (or answer call when there's an incoming one) when you remove the headset from the base (yes the ECLIPSE has no on/off button).

A micro USB port is placed at the front of the base.

The on/off/Bluetooth pairing button is placed at the belly of the base (clearly stated by a sticker) so to start the pairing procedure you need to use this (the NFC area is also here).

In terms of looks the ECLIPSE with its charging base is certainly one of the best looking headsets in the market today (and perhaps the smallest one).
