There is no built-in Bluetooth, obviously, but I suppose it is technically possible if you plug in a Bluetooth transmitter like this one

which works with anything that outputs audio through a mini-stereo jack. It might look somewhat rediculous with a tiny iPod shuffle connected. 🙂
It might be better to get something like this

where the shuffle becomes part of the headset, with no cord in between.
Do you know if i could use any bluetooth transmitter to my ipod shuffle 3g
so i could control it with my wireless headset ???
Thanks
For controlling the shuffle, I don't know of any that will relicated the remote control signal from the buttons on the headphones cord. The universal Bluetooth adapters that connect to any device with a headphones jack is only for the audio signal.
This is how my headset looks like

do u think that will work if i connect it with my shuffle
through the bluetooth transmitter ??
Thanks,
The thing is, the Bluetooth transmitter is a not designed to work specifically with a shuffle. It does not receive control signals from your headset and convert them into the signal the shuffle understands (which would normally come from the headphones cord buttons). While it may be possible to design such a specialized product, it does not exist (as far as I know).
