hi, i want to buy headphones that are compatible with my 3rd gen. shuffle. can you please recommend which to purchase? It appears that you do not sell the older headphones style.
iPod shuffle, Version 1.1
This is a user to user forum. Apple is not here.
for headphones, any 3.5mm headphones will work just fine.
Apple sells the Earpods which should work just fine with a shuffle. And there are also other brands available.
Make sure you choose the wired earphones. Wireless ones will not work with a shuffle.

Hi Phil, I am after ones specifically for 3rd gen shuffles. I know not all 3.5mm headphones work on these. I can't use my iphone 4s headphones as the remote mic won't play. So are you certain that if I purchase these it will be compatible, turn volume up and down and work correctly?

The functionality of the mic and volume buttons depends on the device you connect the earphones too. While the Earphone portion may work, if the device does not expect the type of input the volume controls and mic send, they won't be usable.
Which is why you can use the earphones from your iPhone, but cannot control the volume or use the mic in them with the iPod.
Any Earphones without the volume buttons, and mic will work normally. And Earphones with the mic and volume buttons will work for audio, but the buttons and mic will not.
