HDTalking Shopping Review
The four replacement brush heads in this pack fit all Braun Oral-B electric toothbrushes. They have extra soft, rounded bristles in the center to protect the teeth from too-firm brushing. Long interdental tips on the edges clean deep between teeth and below the gum line and fade after prolonged use, indicating when a brush head needs replacing. The necks of the brush heads have removable color-code rings to identify individual brush heads for family members. --Fred Brack

DOESN'T FIT THE ORAL-B EXACTLY RIGHT
By George A. Butel

Braun must have changed manufacturers or something. The hole in the brush head that fits onto the toothbrush seems to be a fraction of a millimeter bigger because it barely stays on the brush. I have two identical Oral-B 3D excel toothbrushes purchased on 8/20/01. To make the batteries last, I use one unit for 6 months or so, then I switch to the other unit. I run the battery down to zero on the one I'm not using on my teeth by using it with an old brush head to scrub stuff in the bathroom or kitchen. Only after the battery is completely run down do I recharge it. All my old brush heads fit both units perfectly, but these new brush heads are loose on both.
I'll bet they are made in some distant corner of the globe where the inhabitants have no word for quality in their dictionary--either that, or they might be counterfeit, as other reviewers have suggested. If they are counterfeit, it's not obvious to me. It's hard for me to imagine that anyone would be counterfeiting something like this, and it is even harder to imagine that Amazon.com would be selling it.
There were 130-odd reviews when I did this one, and I notice that virtually all of the really bad reviews are relatively recent, and that the really good reviews are years and years old; taking my own observations into account, I am certain that the product has changed, and not for the better.
There is a reason they are less expensive

These brushes are definitely not the same replacement heads I buy at my local stores. I have uesd the Oral-B precision tooth brush for years and love it. First use of these new heads, I knew the quality was not the same. I would not recomment these, I would have rather spent the extra money to make the tooth brush as effective as it has been over the past few years. I can only hope I do not experience the breakage other customers have complained about. Bristles are soft, and brush is a little erratic. The packaging is not in English, and these are claerly substandard.
Can't be original product

I've been using my Oral-B electric toothbrush for a while now, and I love it. Seriously. Best money I've spent in a long time - no one likes pain in a dentist's chair, and my exams are always great now.
[...]. Unfortunately, though the head LOOKS like an Oral-B head and is branded identically, it is not the same product.
Luckily I have not had the destructive, painful experiences of some of the one-star raters, but was clear from the first use that it's not the same product. The plastic bristles aren't very flexible so they don't really get around a tooth; the texture is different, too -- like it should be squeaking in protest. They simply don't do the job the "real" product does.
I bought two packs - I will probably return the second, as I'm not sure they will accept the first one that I opened.
DON'T DO IT:

I had exactly the same experience as the last reviewer. All brushes came out of the box or in short order became defective. They were so loose that they would not stay put on the metal shaft of the toothbrush handle, constantly detaching. They can't be the real thing.
Not so good.

Not necessarily a reflection of the seller, but every single toothbrush head has broken. I have never had a problem with other store bought Oral-B products, but these have been awful. I have contacted Oral-B and they were more than happy to replace the broken toothbrush heads (which have been perfect so far).
