Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for enhanced digital headsets are disclosed. An enhanced USB-C headset includes a USB-C connector, a cable extending from the USB-C connector, an inline control box coupled to the USB-C connector through the cable, and a first earphone and a second earphone. The cable includes conductors for transmitting DC bus power, power return, and differential digital signals and extends at least one foot in length. The control box includes a single circuit board, with circuitry for managing digital communications, converting audio data, and providing output signals to drive analog speaker elements of the earphones.

Claim (Index 20):
A method comprising:\n receiving, at a USB-C connector of a headset, an input digital audio signal; transmitting the input digital audio signal from the USB-C connector to a control box along a cable permanently fixed between the USB-C connector and the control box, the cable being configured to space apart the USB-C connector from the control box by one foot or more; converting, at the control box, the digital audio signal into analog audio signals using decoding circuitry mounted on a circuit board in the control box, the control box comprising only a single circuit board; amplifying the analog audio signals using power amplifier circuitry mounted to the circuit board in the control box, the power amplifier circuitry being powered by USB bus power received through the USB-C connector; and providing the amplified analog audio signals to earphones of the headset.
