personally i would choose perfomance over looks. i know that sounds weird for a headest BUT me and 2 other friends all have the echo headsets and 1 keeps coming loose, 1 creaks like feck and mine is really stiff to turn...i have never used a zoo headset so i don't know the difference, and to every one who just says " Echo there lush" how does that help? he's asking which one is better!!
