Are they good bands that are hard to break?

We haven't used any yet. Some were thicker, like the light blue; some were thinner like the pink. There were no broken ones that I saw in the package although a few were misshapen. Sorry I can't help further!

Nope. My 80 year old grandfather has been breaking Body by Jake bands for 20 years. He can no longer find them @ Sears.

I play mostly light rock/jazz stuff and the A's kind of have a medium thickness good for pretty much anything though I've heard they crack easier with heavier rock. You might want to mix and match or go K's.

My two children play with them all the time and we haven't had a problem with them. One or two were on stands. I think one did break, but I am not surprised with the way they play, most things do break.

These head phones do break easily. My kids broke them within two day of receiving them. I had to take them apart and super glue the hinge back together. Ever since, they have been fine. I don't know if that is because my kids have been careful with them since breaking them.

Yes, they snap like a twig under normal usage because the band is all plastic. I personally experienced this. The comments are true.

they are pretty good. and yes they can take a beating as long as you don't use them as a hammer.they are pretty huge, I am 5 11 and they stick out of my ears like a car's side mirrors!

The band is really clever. The coupling threads over the opposite end like a nut onto a bolt. It goes inside the coupling pretty far which ensures its not going to easily come apart. And of course, you can torque it down some if you like.

They are fairly low profile compared to other earphones. Can't say they won't break. Mine have been pulled pretty hard during ski season and still work ok.

The regulars are notorious for breaking after a few months...the Pros are pretty good but still break...these are indestructible...remember, if they even break once, the pain in the ass of getting replacements warrants the extra few bucks to get the Elites the first time around...I've dropped mine hundreds of times and they still look brand new.

I would just buy whatever is good for you. You might want to buy 2 bands and then you can use an easier and harder, as you like. There is no requirement for how difficult the band is, but you want something you can do repetitive exercises with without burning out your arms and legs right away.

YES - But I'm not a fan of the Quality of these bands. Probably would not purchase them again.

No they pretty good at lasting long. I have dropped them a lot and they still work like they are brand new. To note these are really loud even if you don't have it on the volume all the way up too

They do not have an indentation for breaking them. I don't think they would break cleanly.

They are not easily broken, but everything will bread if handled by rough hands. My grandson is autistic and has not broken them yet.

With this new formula, go with the heavier blue or black band. The lighter ones are more slippery than the heavier bands. Also the heavier bands don't break as easily
