A Reddit user going by the name Enough_Dance_956 shared a strange tale where a headset, apparently the original Razer Kraken, turned guardian angel and blocked a bullet, saving their life.

A bullet came in through their bedroom window and was on course to hit the head of the OP but was deflected by the head strap of the headset, hitting the wall and landing on the user’s bed. The bullet allegedly came from a block away and was a stray, meaning it wasn’t meant to hit the user. The incident happened in California.

“hello to everyone who sees this. 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,” says the original post.

The post (via Windows Central) also includes photos showing the damage done to the headphones as well as the window, while another post shows where the bullet hit the wall and the bullet itself.

The Razer Kraken seems to come with a very solid build and has quite some padding in the head strap, with a metal band inside. It’s hard to say if the headset would’ve offered similar protection had it been of a plastic construction.

In another comment, the Reddit user stated that Razer had reached out and offered to replace their headset but they had declined the offer, saying they only meant to express their gratitude to Razer.
