“If it wasn’t for good quality headphones, I’d be a dead teenager at 18. I can’t even imagine all the pain my family and friends would have had to go through,” the very lucky player said on the chat platform.
Razer sends him new headphones
After sharing the details of his incredible misadventure, Enough_Dance_956 has repeatedly reached out to join the folks at Razer in thanking them for making the Kraken headset that obviously saved his life.
By the magic of Reddit, and because he had recounted his incident in the group dedicated to the brand, the Internet user received comments from various members of the company under his publication, and even from its CEO, Min-Liang Tan. The latter then shared the story a few times on his twitter account.
Finalement, Enough_Dance_956 asserted having been contacted in due form by Razer on Tuesday morning, when the brand confirmed to him that it would send him a replacement headset.
In short, all’s well that ends well for a story that might otherwise have ended tragically. Like what there is to be lucky… and to be really lucky.
