Does it work with regular headphones? I've never had an ipod and want to know if it uses regular headphones. I HATE EAR BUDS!

Get either a pair of Sennheiser 100's or Koss Portapro's at about 35-40 bucks and you will be amazed with the sound that the shuffle produces.Dan

I use a pair of Bose TriPort headphone and the Shuffle puts out sound as good as the recording loaded into it. A 96 kbps and a 320 kbps recording will sound completely different. 190 kbps is the minimum quality you should go with for mp3 format. You can get away with 128 kbps with wma format.

try the sony mdr-w08l sold here for 8 bucks. they sound great but arent too durable. i bought 4 sets to get the free amazon shipping and i seem to go thru two headphones a year.

my cheapo (3 year old) sony headphones work with it just fine. just plug into the port and make sure it fully seats (you'll hear a click).

i don't have one but im sure the headphone port will work with any headphones and most likely improve the sound too lol. ya i hate earbuds too they hurt my ears

they work with any thing that has a 3.5mm jack; so ipod classic should be fine. I really like mine even though they are much bigger than ear buds.

I use rocketdog headphones with mine. It has volume control as well as skip and repeat buttons. All those buttons work for me. My guess would be that if it doesn't work, the problem lies with your headphones and not with the iPod or bluetooth thing plugged into the iPod.

You can also use it as normal headphones as well. I use it on my ipod and my 3ds.

It would work with the iPod but you wouldn't get the full sound quality it offers due to lack of proper amplification. These headphones are best used with stand alone amps. Also they are not very portable. The cans are huge. You would look weird wearing these on the go. But if that doesn't bother you then yes it is portable :)

This works with my iPod Shuffle and should work fine with all iPods. There's a picture of the jack posted if that helps.

Not sure where you are getting your information. According to Buy.com:"Audio portion works with any iPod featuring an iPod dock connector. " and in their product description:"Audio portion works with any iPod featuring an iPod dock connector. Charges all iPods except 4G Nano, 3G iPhone, 2G touch and 120GB Classic."According to this, any iPod with a dock connector will work, its just that a certain few won't *charge* while in use.

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. 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.

I use these with a waterproof iPod shuffle. The ear buds are not charged, the ipod is and the ear buds p,ugh into it. I'm not sure if I answered your question, but these are the most comfortable waterproof earbuds I've had and I tried a lot of them. They are well designed and don't get in the way if you use goggles or a swim mask.

I really like the shuffle, It makes swimming laps fun. The shuffle has not been a problem. The problem I had was getting the smaller rubber ear covers on the main buds. I never could do it. I use the Buds that came with shuffle without the little ear buds. They are uncomfortable. They need to make different sizes of the main buds. I have little ear holes to,but like I said, I cannot get the smaller rubber buds on the main buds. Hope this helps.....

I use mine with an ipod touch 5th gen. Anything that has a 3.5mm headphone or line port will work. The 3.5mm is sometimes listed as 1/8" ,these are common standard size for most electronics. The sound is terrible however all the other items are useful.

Hi, I would also like to know if I can pair them with the last version of the Ipod touch. Can anybody answer us? Cheers.

If you purchase a 3.5mm mini jack cord it can work with anything that can connect to head phones. That includes all ipod products. I even use my shuffle with it. The Bluetooth has worked with everything Bluetooth I own.

I don't know about this from personal experience. However, I bought this for my father a year back and he seems to have very little trouble with it. The ipod itself should be fine. I imagine that it would all be relative to factors besides the ipod such as choice of earbuds vs, headphones, how large the hearing aids are and how acute one's hearing loss is. Of, course I'd recommend headphones rather than earbuds simply because -depending on the quality of the headphones- they are much more comfortable and also have a more balanced sound quality than earbuds tend to have. I hope this helped.

no, because it's not a piece of electronics that is connecting to anything inside the phone/ipod, etc. so main sounds from normal speakers will still work accordingly. it's just a like a rubber plug for the headphone jack.

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.

I don't have an IPod. I only have an Archos MP3 player and it works fine with that.y only complaint about these headphones is that they're not comfortable to wear for long periods of time (1 hour maximum for me).
