    The current Apple iPhone headphones ("EarPods") are not compatible with 3rd gen shuffle.  If you can find the previous version of replacement Apple headphones for iPhone, it has a microphone that is not used with the shuffle, but the buttons should work.

     

    Alternately, there are "adapters" with the control buttons.  For example

    I've never used it, but I pick this one as the example (for this question) because the description specifically says "Fully compatible with iPod shuffle (3rd generation)."  There are other similar products.  With this type of adapter, you can use any standard headphones, including the Apple EarPods.
