    Which model is the shuffle?  This document shows the four types of iPod shuffle

     

    Identify your iPod model - Apple Support

     

    If the iPod is the current model (4th gen), do you want headphones with remote control buttons on the cord?

     

    When you say "charger," to you mean a USB docking cable?  Or do you mean a USB power adapter that charges the iPod?

    It's 4th generation.

     

    I don't mind if it does or does not have controls on the cord.

     

    Am I correct in assuming that the shuffle comes with something that can charge it.

     

    The basic headphones that it comes with are like earbuds but what I'm after are the big headsets, can you but the big headsets for the shuffle (Idc if it does or does not have buttons on the cords.

    The 4th gen shuffle comes with a short USB docking cable that connects to your computer's USB port.  The USB port provides the power to change the shuffle.  You can also connect that USB docking cable to a USB power adapter (that plugs into power outlet); the shuffle does not come with a USB power adapter.

     

    NOTE:  If you buy an extra USB docking cable, and it's not from Apple, make sure the third-party cable is made for 4th gen shuffle.  A cable made for the older 2nd gen shuffle does not work with 4th gen shuffle; the connector is different.

     

    You can use any headphones with the standard mini-stereo plug with a shuffle.  REALLY big headsets need more power to play REALLY loud, because the speakers are much larger and further way from your ears, compared to "earbuds."  I just tried my 4th gen shuffle with my over-the-ear headset by Sony; they are not the largest headsets you can find these days.  Full volume is pretty loud (too loud for me).  Other large headsets may be less "efficient," but that would be a consideration with sound output from any mobile device.

    So in summary headsets work with the shuffle (the big head things not the buds), if not where can I get pair of big head things that do work.

    Not clear on what you just summarized...   4th gen iPod shuffle works with any standard headphones - Yes.  What's are "big head things"?

    I meant that the type of headphones included with the shuffle can work just as well as the big headsets which cover your entire ears.
