I could be wrong, but I think you are barking up the wrong tree.

A quick look at those seems to indicate the "USB" connection is used for charging the batteries in the headset.  In addition, there is an analog link which, like many other on the ear headsets, use the USB mini connector to bring out the headphones and mic.  This requires a cable that has a phone plug on one end and a USB shaped connector on the other (https://www.amazon.com/MCSPER-Adapter-H … ref=sr_1_2).  The headset can charge from the computer, but it will never enumerate on the USB bus.  It needs to plug into a phone jack for analog audio.

Edit:  Oh, welcome to the Arch Linux forums.
