Hemm i assume those 'big big ones' are cans and those 'tiny tiny earbuds' are earbud / IEM?
Hemm comparison between those 2 types whether which one has a nicer sound quality is quite hard bcos there are different thing..
For those headphone (cans), in general they are better in sound stage and instrument seperation. IEM they normally are better in noise isolation. And of course bcos of the size, they are more portable than headphone. And normally headphone is harder to drive than the tiny one. There might have some exceptions which is out of my knowledge, but generally that's it.
Other than the type of headphone / earphone, different brand, or even different model within the same brand will have different sound signature. And to mention everything it's really too much, from mylar, senn, AKG, Grado, AT and so on... Try listen to few different kind of headphone/earphone, then maybe u'll find the sound that u like. wonder where can test & try the headphone / earphone? if you are from KL area, then pay attention to MadZiZ's thread 'Lastnight tek tarik session', they had quite frequent meet up, and some tailo in the audiophile forum were there also. Then that's the time u kena poison
i see.. i m from penang area and studying in Singapore currently, and i know this place Stereo Electronics which lets ppl to try out various brands of headphones/earpiece... well, i shall go and try out then...
portability is not an issue, as i plan to put that at home while i have already own a creative EP630, but then i dun really like that creative earpiece cos when the cable are rub against anyth, its very loud in the ear... yucks...
harder to drive you mean you need an amp in order to drive it ? hahax.. sorry.. i am rather noobish here... ya, i like to hear each detail clearly (i mean better instrument seperation i suppose..lol..) so, headphones can provide these qualities more than IEM? noise isolation doesnt matter much to me..

Yo bro , SF3 is not bad , but it bass is less , so maybe go into ur ipod will no get much bass for it , i just can get the bass back with Sony A805 clear bass.But it is a not bad earphone, so u can try it
hahax, i shall try it the wednesday... lol.. i m afraid they sound the same as my creative EP630...lol... at 1st this creative earpiece sounds so much better than the ipod earbud, but after some time, i feel tat the sound is a bit dull then the ipod earbud is worse.. haih.. then now i demand more..
