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 13):
A Universal Serial Bus Type C (USB-C) headset comprising:\n a USB-C connector; a cable extending from the USB-C connector, the cable comprising a power conductor for transmitting DC bus power, a ground conductor for power return, and a differential signaling pair of conductors for transmitting digital signals; a control box coupled to the USB-C connector through the cable, the cable arranged to enable digital signals to be transmitted from the USB-C connector to the control box through the cable with the control box being spaced apart from the USB-C connector by one foot or more, the control box comprising a circuit board having associated circuitry mounted on the circuit board, wherein the associated circuitry comprises (i) a USB interface integrated circuit, (ii) a codec integrated circuit to convert digital audio data into analog audio signals, and (iii) at least one audio power amplifier, the circuit board and associated circuitry being electromagnetically shielded by one or more metal elements extending around the circuit board and associated circuitry; and earphones configured to receive outputs of the at least one audio power amplifier.
