A look at the amazon listing indicates (down a bit on the page) that these are made in China. They may not be as good as the Japan made ones and are not the same as the eneloops.
The other forum has a couple of tests that you may find interesting:

I recently bought 8 white amazon basics aaa’s for $12.99 (Can) - about $10 Us on amazon.ca - they seem to be good batteries and may be made alongside eneloops. I did some discharge tests but haven’t tested to see how long they hold a charge. Results are here (see post 29):
I also bought some Energizer Power Plus aaa’s (4 for $12.99 Can - not a great deal even on sale). I did some discharge tests which can be seen here:
I plan to test them at 1 month and 2 months but that will be a while yet.
I would buy eneloops if they were available for a decent price but they are few and far between in my area so I’ve ended up buying mostly Japan made duraloops (and have been very happy with them). Unfortunately the only duraloops I can find now are the ion core and they don’t seem to go on sale so are quite pricey.
