Headphones for iPod Shuffle 3rd gen. Does anyone know if there are other headphones--with the mic and volume control--that will work with the new shuffle? I hate the iPod headphones.

Holy cow! The headphones cost more than the mp3 player! Maybe Apple expects us to insert this tiny new shuffle straight into our collective rectum--hey maybe gen 4 will have prostate interface. haha

The $70 apple in ear headphones are amazing and well worth the money, regardless of whether you are buying them for the new shuffle or something else. I've tried others that cost much more that were not nearly as good as these.

I bought the $70 in-ear headphones too and I really don't understand what it is people don't like. Whether they are over-priced is debatable but the quality is outstanding. I suspect that many people might be too used to listening to inferior audio quality products to appreciate the clarity and separation these earphones offer, particularly on the bass end where many listeners confuse "thumping" for bass notes. Either that or they can't get the earphones to fit properly in their ears. In my opinion, these headphones are better than the monitor quality over-the-ear headphones I had been using for many, many years.

To replace the generic and oh-so-uncheap Apple buds, I bought JVC Marshmallow Ear Buds for my huzzband. They are a proven quality product that is comfortable, jammin', and way under $40. In fact, I got em for under $30. Just check them out ... it will not be your usual frustrating experience.

Yeah, Don't bother getting one until those come out. I bought one but managed to find the rediculously priced $70 apple inear phones for $40 and they work great, but not worth the $70.

Not really, thats a drawback with the apple system, the earbuds does not last, and when the entire player is being controlled from the wire of the earbuds, its either get an other pair for an extra $80 bucks, or just throw the player in the garbage and get a new one altogether, cuz its gonna be the same amount.

Scosche is making two products that look pretty interesting and are for pre-order here on amazon, one is a case with controls built in for the new ipod shuffle, the other is a cable with the controls and an extension to allow you to use your own headphones (both allow the use of 3rd party headphones). I may buy one of these new shuffles when these get released as I am using a 2gb 2nd generation shuffle.

I drive a 2011 Honda CR-V and so far haven't been able to find a model that will work in it. I have the 5th generation Shuffle and when I tried to plug it in was told that my vehicle didn't support the format. I know this hasn't been much help as I'm not sure what year model car you drive. I'm assuming that my car would need a much older model iPod since none of the three MP3 players I've tried have worked. I hope you find something that works for you!

Hi Scott. Yes, IPad use minijack rigth? Headphones always have jack or minijack (converters are available everywhere). BR Niels

I put my ipod on shuffle and just hit next and it doesn't play the next song in order. You can still hit next when the head unit is in ipod control mode, so there's really no reason to put it in head unit control mode

The headphones are just like any other simple headphones with a 1/8" stereo jack. They are designed to work with apple products. I have never tried them with anything but apple products in terms of the mic. I would try a pair of cheap headphones with a built in mic as a test.

I am unsure about the question you are asking but I am the owner of an Apple iPod Touch 3rd Gen, Apple iPod Nano 4th Gen, and an Apple iPhone 4S and they all work with this set up. It is really nice. It was exactly what I was looking for without having to spend a ton of money. This item is just like the high end ones without the big price tag. It has worked on any generation Apple product that is associated with the (i believe its called) 30 Prong connector (which is the basic Apple (up until iphone 5) charging cord such as the adapter on this converter) it has the AUX cord for MP3 and other devices.

Idk I had huge problems with them and had to send them back twice! The pause button did not function at all and they "both" sounded horrid. Witch sucks cause I was expecting something just as good had headphones especially for the price. But to my shock they sounded Evan a lot cheaper than the Apple EarPods you can get for $20 idk if it was this weird batch I just happened to get or what but I certainly wouldn't go trying to get them again :/ hope this helps

What do you think? Yes I did. It says I-pod mini compatible but the I-pod mini ( shuffle?) does not have the receiver required for the for this fm transmitter device to connect via....- there isn't a 3.5mm jack anywhere on this itrip auto fm transmitter- maybe I have to buy a separate part? Who knows, there isn't any discussion related that I could find a quick answer, and you don't seem to help..

Yes, I have the same question, and will only purchase this item if there are speakers that can be used with it. I already have the CA portable digital speakers and use them with my (now full) 8GB ipod nano, doesn't look like the 2GB shuffle is compatible with these speakers.

Knowing Apple probably not. My guess is that while you may hear audio, the controls probably won't work.You are locked into the Apple eco-system which means everything will cost TWICE as much!

The second generation iPod touch supports audio in. No need to hack anything: any wired headset compatible with the iPhone will work on it. You can also get the Monster iMicrophone, the Griffin i-Talk or the Shure headphone adapter, they're cables with built-in microphones that allow you to use your existing headphones.The Skype compatible application Y. Su is looking for is Fring. It works very well.

Any earbuds with a 3.5 mm stereo jack will work with the iPod shuffle. I typically don't use the Apple earbuds because they do not fit my ear well. I use some Sony earbuds I purchased at Walmart.

Sorry, Zikar, I don't know. I don't use my Shuffle any more because it is inferior to other iPods.

These headphones connect via a wire and also via blutooth 3.0. You can check you equipment to see if it supports blutooth version 3.0. Some newer blutooth radios are backwards compatible with earlier versions, but check on your blutooth. So, yes the headphones are compatible, but that begs your question. What you wanted to ask is this: Will Apple iOS8 support the function buttons on these headphones? The headphones has buttons for pause, skip, fast forward, etc. That is what I don't actually know. Sorry, but since I don't use Apple products I am not qualified to answer your questions.

This only works for an ipod 5 and the headphones that I used came with the ipod. Any others, I'm not sure about but I hope this helps.

I use mine with an Ipod, not an Iphone, so I don't know if my results will be the same as yours. The volume control on my headphones will only allow volume to go as high as inputted on the Ipod and won't go higher unless I raise the volume physically on the Ipod. Easy fix, just have the volume turned up on your phone before you start and you can always adjust down with the headphones. This has never been a problem for me. I only need the volume to be at approximately 1/4 level on my Ipod to get enough out of the headphones, and even with that I have to adjust the volume down on the earphones, even while using them in noisy areas.
