New usb headset is making a beeping noise.

I got a new pair of these: http://www.ozonegaming.com/product/rage-7hx/ and if i turn my mic on then i hear this loud beeping noise. Even if i take the mic off and don't mute it it will just keep beeping. I've searched for an answer for so long and don't know what to do.

That's a "headset" you bought, not headphones (headphones have no microphone).

Now, the beeping issue is common I've learned on headsets connected via USB. Doesn't happen with headsets designed for connecting to a computer's sound input/output jacks so the easiest fix is to exchange your existing headset for one of those if you can.
