The new Snakebyte Head:Set X Pro is a step up from its previous "Pro" effort, but fundamental design flaws make it, once again, hard to recommend.

The last Snakebyte Head:Set Pro I reviewed enjoyed great audio, but was accompanied by a truly baffling design full of silly lights and childish bulk. Their latest effort reins that in and then some, sporting a far more tasteful, muted design, with a cheaper price point to boot.

With headsets, it tends to be the case that you get what you pay for, though. Is the Snakebyte Head:Set X Pro worth the savings? Maybe, but only if you plan to never use the microphone for gaming.
