According to one player, Razer’s headphones saved his life
A shot from a 9 mm bullet is certainly not the most pleasant to experience. Especially if it flies through the window and goes straight in the head. Fortunately, one of the Redditors had headphones on his head that absorbed the impact and probably changed the angle of the bullet.
He told this story on Reddit and showed some evidence that the incident did occur. The service involved in the incident informed him that it was a stray bullet from a recent shooting not too far away.
Słuchawki
Raczej nikt podczas popołudniowego odpoczynku w swoim pokoju nie spodziewa się, że za chwilę jego słuchawki staną się osłoną przed przelatującym z ogromną prędkością pociskiem. Taką historię opowiedział jeden z użytkowników Reddita pochodzący z Torrance – miasta w Stanach Zjednoczonych w stanie Kalifornia.
Mający 18 lat Gonzales siedział w swoim pokoju, gdy nagle usłyszał głośny huk. Jak relacjonuje dla jednego z portali, na początku sam nie wiedział, co się dokładnie stało.
At first I didn’t know what happened until I looked at the window. Haven’t seen the bullet hole yet, but I noticed that my curtains had been torn off the wall (the bullet that passed was so powerful), I thought “wtf what happened” and noticed that I was wearing headphones. So I grab the headphones to take them off and noticed a hole in the top of the headset. I thought “wtf” again and put them away.
Then he turned towards the window, and there he saw a large hole made by the bullet.
After that, he called his parents and told the whole story, and they informed the relevant services. It soon turned out that it was a stray bullet from a nearby shootout.
Never in my life thought I would’ve been killed in my own room… Never.
Additionally, to prove to the still unbelievers in this incident, he later published a photo of the bullet.
I’m trying to get a hold of someone at razer to thank them with all my heart. Wednesday morning at 10:30am a stray bullet went through my window and hit the razer headphones on top of my head. If it wasn’t for the headphones made with good quality i would’ve been a dead kid at the age of 18. I couldn’t even imagine all the pain my family and friends would’ve been through.
Fortunately, he was wearing the $ 50 Razer Kraken headphones that saved his life. Now he only has a headache, and interestingly enough, the Kraken headset is still working. He informed the manufacturer about this fact, who promised to send him a “care package”.
Fortunately, Enough_Dance_956’s story has a happy ending and he is fine.
