Apr 12, 2015 1:54 PM in response to creazizby Curt Wiederhoeft,Your headset probably uses some of the newer circuits, which are not supported by the shuffle. An Even within Apple-branded products, there are still incompatibilities. See
Compatibility of Apple wired headset models with iPhone, iPad, and iPod models - Apple Support
Your options, from least to most expensive, would be:
- Buy and install an in-line remote control that *is* compatible with the shuffle. I've used this: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Headphone-Adaptor-Control-Shuffle/dp/B002J1SCRQ/ . I can't say I recommend it, because they fail regularly. I wait until they're on sale for $6, and buy four at a time. If you go to Amazon.com and search "iPod headphone remote," you'll see several. they all have the same issues.
- Buy a different headset, that is compatible with the shuffle
- Buy another iPod, like a nano.
Sorry that there isn't a "fix" with the equipment you already own.
