Does the fm radio feature work? Even in the pool?

The unit I received did not have the fm option. When I inquired they simply said some of them did not have that option. It is also optional that it works at all, evidently. Don't bother with this product...seriously.

You got to be smarter than your equipment your using.. Just kidding I have the same problem trying to get the FM radio to work on it, Bad design but cheap price so you got to expect that. I would reccomend buying a IPOD lol

Yes. The tiny square one, 4th and 5th generation. I've had both and both worked in the X-1 Audio Player. Now I can't live without my audio player in the pool!!

No. Our FM generally works fine in our area...the radio on the Bose comes in good. Excellent sound.

Sorry, I haven't tried them in the pool. I bought them because they are small, and no wires. I like them. The sound is good, but they are hard to navigate while walking. I have to take them all to use the buttons. Still a great buy.

Yes, it has an FM radio function. Works outdoors best. I suggest setting up station pre-sets first.

it does have an FM radio in it, but I can't tell you how well it works because I don't have great reception where I live.

I just hooked mine up yesterday, and so far so good as far as tuning, static, signal strength etc... I'm interested in battery life because I have mine set up about 50 feet from the transmitter, on the back side of my pool where I have my grills and hammock. It used to be that I had to crank up the speakers on the patio in order to hear anything out past the pool. This naturally caused issues with my wife, especially when Saxon, Rush, Judas Priest etc. "shuffled" into play.I just hope that I don't have to replace batteries every week!

Hello Elise,The simple answer is yes. This true of most if not all swim MP3s. However I'm not sure I would write the same review today. This Diver lacks an important feature (for me) - random play. This means that every time you listen to the same string of songs in the exact same order and starting with the very same song. Other than that, my Diver stopped working, simply died on me after 3 weeks. There are other options out there that are a better choice.Good luck!

I was able to operate it , while playing music in the pool, so my guess is yes :) But that is with an Android, because you know how iPhones only react to your finger touch :(

No. I did not use it for radio but the buttons are like pin heads - so small - very hard to use while swimming. I would not recommend.

I do not know. I did not use that feature. I have not been pleased with the current one because the play back over the radio has been really poor. My guess is that it would still have that feature.

yes works well, just under the water. Works 10 ft plus if the ear phones are in perfectly.

According to my husband, FM reception is fine. Other than just to try it out, we haven't really used it.

It says it does but I have not figured out how to make it do it. The manual tells you what to do but it does but it doesn't seem to work. To be clear, picking up FM Broadcast is not a priority for me so I have not tried very hard to figure it out. The specs say it does and the manual is not very clear on how to make it happen.
