iPod Shuffle 3rd Generation Earphone Problem?
Just got an iPod Shuffle 3rd Gen, I like that it’s very portable, small, and weighs almost nothing. However, I can’t seem to find earphones that work correctly with it. Are there any earphones you would recommend that work with the 3rd Gen iPod Shuffle?

That iPod was introduced 11 years ago, so being that old it might have a worn out earphone port, or other issues. It came with the standard Apple earbud earphones back when those had a 3.5mm 1/8" adapter. You might try to find a friend who has a pair of those older Apple earbud earphones and try them. If it has BT you might try a few BT headphones to see if they will connect.

Anything with a headphone jack should work. It doesn’t have to be Apple but as stated the headphone plug could be damaged.

I've had problems with the headphone jack on my iphones in the past; I sometimes carry my phone in my pants pocket, and lint would get in the headphone hole. I was sometimes able to clear it myself, and I also brought it into an Apple store and let them do it.
