normal headphones vs movile headphones?? Was Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm

[michael at crosscode.org]

 	The main differences would be size and price. I can buy a decent 2.5mm 
mobile headset (one earpiece + one mic) for about $10US and al of those will
fit in my pocket. The cheapest headsets for a computer (2 earpieces+one mic) 
start around $30US and are huge, since they aren't really meant to be
portable.

 	You can find smaller 3.5mm headsets (usually one earpiece+one mic)
designed for use in businesses, but because they're used for business they are
*very* expensive, although on the flip side they tend to be very comfortable
and have excellent sound quality. But I have no wish to spend $100 on a
headset that I'm going to carry with me everywhere I go.
