A gamer has taken to Reddit to explain how his gaming headphones likely saved his life.
In a thread set up to discuss Razer gaming products, user Enough_Dance_956 shared a picture of his gaming headphones – with a bullet indent in the top.
The user went on to explain how they had likely saved his life when a stray bullet came in through his window.
Sharing a picture of his bullet-damaged headphones and a hole in his window, the Reddit user captioned the post 'Razer saved my life'.

They explained: "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 [sic]."
They also said that they are 'trying to get a hold of someone at Razer to thank them with all my heart' – and we'd be doing the same, because those headphones are clearly made of sturdy stuff, with the user adding that 'at first I didn't even know what hit my head'.
