The difference in bobbins (all of the same class) is the quality of the plastic. The cheaper ones work just fine but over time they may crack. Not a big deal. I do like the ones I get from the Babylock/janome dealer but have several of the Joanns variety.

This is a true statement. My Janome dealer said just to be sure it has the hole to put the thread through and the bobbin will work just fine.
Oh, my goodness! I have a Janome 7700 and use bobbins from WalMart! They look just like my Janome bobbins and work just like my Janome bobbins. I use the same bobbins, in both my Janome 7700 and my Brother CS6000i. I've never had even the slightest problem with them.
When I bought my machine, the LQS dealer assured me these less expensive bobbins were just fine . . . and he was right.

your machine requires Class 15 bobbins.
generic class 15 will work just fine.
i've used them for years in three different janome machines with no issues at all.
as to the needle threader ...
try using Organ brand needles.
the 7700 is one of the Horizon series machines.
the eye in Organ brand needles lines up more reliably with the threader's wire than other brands i've tried.

This is interesting - my Janome 6600 is very picky about bobbins. I can't use the ones that came with my Brother CS6000i, nor the older ones that came with my 90's Kenmore, even though to me they look nearly identical. (Although the Brother & the Kenmore can share...)
It will work OK for a bit but then I get jams in the bobbin area. So I bit the bullet and bought the Janome brand bobbins from Amazon and no more bobbin jams. Hopefully you'll be lucky and your 7700 is less picky!
I should note - the bobbins I bought from Amazon were packaged in Janome packaging but did NOT have the "J" on them like the ones that came with my machine and are a slightly different shade of plastic. They work great, though.
