wish they would come with plastic shields [SEP] these manage to be very generic looking which is fine but interesting that i could notice considering it is just a toothbrush head they just do not have the decorative banding on them that some of the others have they do have the color band for distinguishing between multiple users what i do not like is that they do not have the plastic shields with them although even the originals do not have that anymore as my remaining shield gets cracked further and further i wonder how i will continue to travel with my brushthese seem basically the same as the originals it is sort of hard to say if my perception that they are just a tad less good is based on something substantial or just aesthetics and packaging if the price is right they are worth a try
