If you using an audio interface this could be “direct monitoring” which just passes through the microphone audio to the headphones. Each interface is different but just searching by the interface model should have a general user guide for it.
Otherwise it could be a Windows setting (Assuming your on Windows 10) under the sound control panel which can be accessed by: Searching for “Sound settings” from the Windows menu, Sound Control Panel on the right, Recording tab, Right click your microphone and choose properties, Listen tab, Make sure the “Listen to this device” box is unchecked and apply.
Only if you have the “listen to this device” option ticked on in the microphone settings. If that’s not enabled in the OS or any apps you’re using should they have their own option for it, something fucky is going on.
On my Rode usb mic, pressing the headphone volume knob toggles whether or not I hear my own voice though the attached headphones. It’s possibly a setting on your device itself, not the computer.
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?
