Torrance, California - Someone had a very good guardian angel.

A Razer* headset is said to have saved a gamer's life after it ricocheted through the window and ricocheted off the headphones.

Razer headset supposedly saves gamers' lives: user wants to say thank you

What happened?

A curious post surfaced on Reddit on Friday.

In it, a user reported that a ricochet got lost in his room.

He only survived thanks to his headset – a Razer Kraken.

The hanger deflected the bullet before it was finally stopped by the wall of his room and landed on his bed.

As evidence for this claim, the gamer named "Enough_Dance_965" posted some pictures.

On the one hand, the pictures show his Razer Kraken headset, which has two holes in the leather in the bracket.

He also presents a hole in the window in the photos.

The gamer also showed pictures of the hole in the wall and the ball on his bed.

In the comments he also explains in fragments what exactly happened.

Apparently, the gamer is 18 years old and lives in Torrance, a small town in California, south of Los Angeles.

According to his report, the incident happened at 10:30 a.m. local time on Wednesday morning.

The bullet went through his window and eventually ricocheted off the metal reinforcement in the Razer Kraken's headband.

The local police have now secured the bullet as evidence and the gamer's family is now considering moving.

Gun violence with guns is not uncommon in the United States.

Accidents happen again and again in this context.

The right to carry a firearm in the USA is therefore repeatedly criticized.

US President Biden recently called for gun laws to be tightened after six people died from firearms in Sacramento, California*.

The other users on Reddit are amazed.

Many are amazed.

However, the gamer who was allegedly saved by the Razer Kraken has only one request: he wants to thank Razer for the fact that his headset may have saved his life.

Many others would probably wish for so much luck in the current competition for the PS5 from Weider Germany*.

This is how Razer reacted:

Razer actually became aware of the case.

CEO Min-Liang Tan personally responded to the post, expressing relief that the gamer is doing well.

When asked, we were confirmed that Razer would replace the headset.

In addition, the gamer should receive an extensive peripheral package.

Razer did not reveal what exactly is included.

Here's the headset:

A stray bullet is an unparalleled stress test for a headset.

It's impressive that the Razer Kraken apparently passed it anyway.

If you want to grab the headset now, you can buy the Razer Kraken from Amazon**.
