There’re a few things that can cause this. The headphones themselves may have a feature that enables it which you should be able to disable. Otherwise, you may have it configured in your os.
Did you install anything to use them? If so, perhaps the turtle beach software has a setting for this. If not, which OS are you on? Windows 10? 11? Linux?
I see in the other comments that you have sidetone disabled in the OS. Are you certain you didn’t install any software when using the headset? If so, could you try using the headset with another pc or your phone and see if it still happens?

Is there an application on your PC that controls the headset?
Sounds like sidetone.
Nope, straight through windows
Plus, it only comes through one ear, the left one, mostly though you get a little through the right one.
Sounds like there’s faulty wiring. Does it work on a different PC?
When you go to your sound settings and then playback and then your current speaker: is the volume off the Microphone setting zero or is ihr muted?

Is it a USB headset? If so I’m guessing there’s some proprietary software for it with those options
If it’s analog (two aux plugs), then you might be getting bleed over…though I think that’s less likely since the mic signal hasn’t been amplified yet
Analog
