Headphones all the way(only around the ear and on-ear normal or large sized). Ear canals are not flexible and mine get very painful with IEMs irrespective of bud size. Also, the lack or airflow causes irritation.
I was only talking about my exprience. Headphone are uncomfortable and difficult to wear in summers(Not all are heavy). But earphones give me a severe headache so I don't use them.
...
, Earphones are not comparable to Headphones. Ear phones are used for smaller Gadgets and quality head phones can't used with them b'coz of their higher current rating. Similarly I have seen many good quality ear phones give noise with High wattage music systems.Ear-phone is good only for mobility where as Head phone is purely for Music lovers..

agree with faun. if you dont have big hands or you are a kid, you will prefer mini mouse.
its like comparing a mini mouse to a proper desktop mouse.
both are for same purpose.
when.i'm on desktop obviously i'm goin to use full sized mouse for gaming/designing...
mini mouse is useful when using laptop because its small and extremely handy.
get the point?
