These are genuine Brother SA156 bobbins and you pay a premium for that "genuine" adjective. I have purchased other, less expensive bobbins that are supposedly "just like" these Brother bobbins but have not had very good luck with the knock-offs. Some of them have produced tension problems or skipped stitches but others seem to work OK. It's a real crap shoot. I'm tight with a buck but it's not saving anything to buy something less expensive if it doesn't work properly.
Comparing these to some of the substitutes I've noticed a few things.
1. These tend to feel and look higher quality than the knock-offs. The plastic has a slight bluish tint to it but it is clear and generally flawless — the mold marks are not very obvious. The substitutes are usually colorless, feel thinner, and often have noticeable molding flaws.
2. The genuine article has a number on the center cylinder or hub when looked at from the side — possibly identifying the date or location where it was made — there's no obvious reason for it to be there. The knock-offs may have numbers in other places but I did not see any on the hub on any of the ones I purchased.
3. Looking down through the hole in the center of the bobbin, there is a notch on one side of the opening — both top and bottom. The notches line up — they're located in the same vertical line through the bobbin. The knock-offs have the notches located on opposite sides of the center hole. If one is on the lefthand side looking down at the top, if you feel underneath the other will be on the righthand side — with the genuine bobbins they'd both be on the same side of the opening.
4. At first glance, the bobbins appear to have 4 holes to push the first bit of thread through when winding the bobbin — two on the top and two on the bottom. Closer inspection of the genuine bobbins show that each side has only one hole, not two. The second mark looks very much like a hole but it does not penetrate the side of the bobbin. The holes, like the notches, are located directly above and below each other. The knock-offs often actually have two holes on each side — one larger than the other. The larger holes come close to the size in the genuine bobbin but, like the notches on the knock-offs, are located diagonally on each side. Someone in China apparently decided providing a similar appearance was good enough — function wasn't important.
I hate paying a premium price for something as inexpensive to produce as plastic bobbins but that seems to be the only way to guarantee they'll perform properly. I've just run across another website called SewingPartsOnline dot Com which guarantees that their generic equivalents of genuine parts will perform as well. I'm going to try ordering some of their SA156-equivalent bobbins and will try to remember to come back here and update this review with the results.

Eine Spule war zwar zerbrochen, hatte keine Lust deswegen zu reklamieren, aber daher bei Qualität 4 Sterne.
Ich bin zufrieden, dass ich hier Originalspulen bekommen habe, nachdem ich bei einem anderen Verkäufer ( der inzwischen aus dem Store geschmissen wurde, schlechte Fälschungen erhielt - siehe andere Rezensionen )
