Default Why Over-The-Ear?

Over-the-ear (or earclip) designs stay on better than earbuds, but allow more ambient sound in than actual "cans" headphones (which look worse than over-the-ear, I think). Which type works best for you depends on where and how you'll use them, of course.

Other than looks, what downsides are there?
