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.

2.5mm.
If you want to buy some earphones for a mobile, than you will get only some
with 2.5mm connectors.
