is this good or not?

I had found some old headphones in a box full of chargers and whatnot while cleaning out my room. They were dusty as hell but I decided to give them a clean and see if they still worked.

I got rid of all the dust and marks with a cloth, I was amazed at the fact I would just leave them aside in a box. They were in good condition, there were no small wires poking out, no sellotaped together pieces. I brought them downstairs and decided to test them by starting up skype.

I could hear the usual jingle but an odd hissing noise, incredibly subtle.

'No big deal' I thought to myself. I went into speaker settings and changed the mic audio.

I tested the sound again, the hissing noise will still there, but slightly louder and softer, almost like a wave.

'What the hell?' I thought to myself. I decided to try something, I took out the mic (it's one of those detachable mics) and tried again. The hissing noise continued, only louder, increasing in volume quickly.

Frustrated I pulled my headset off violently to discover something that made my heart stop.

I never plugged the headset into the laptop.

Then the hissing was coming from above my head.
