Nope because aliexpress doesn't do returns and resends, it's stuck in chinese customs but i got my refund.
And I don't want to suffer through that again.

Oh especially given we know it's the beryllium 600 ohm driver

disregard what i said i cannot find the pic of the S600 ohm diaphragm and voice coil

it's stuck in chinese customs

This I am afraid of. After hearing in early December than the Chinese postal service quite literally went postal, worries about consumer postal exports considering.

I ordered some exotic drivers that I’m excited to tune, so I’m hoping all goes well.

And here is a metal budget set Final Metal. I don't see any porting on these though, so who knows what they might sound like:

I got a reply from Final about that Final Metal bud.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your inquiry.

Unfortunately, the item is indeed fake.
Aliexpress, while being very useful to reach a lot of products around the world, is also very weak against fake items because of lack of monitoring.

Becareful and final wish you all the best in 2023.

Best regards,
final​

So I got the TRN EMX today. Reports on this set are actually few and far between here. It looks like it got some negative feedback based on the ergonomics. They’re over ear, not cable down, so the shells want to sit at a specific angle. Luckily the angle they want to be at is perfect for my ears. I’m getting a pretty decent seal and the stock foams are relatively comfortable. The sound is not bad. It isn’t as bass focused as the Yincrow X6 (my only other buds right now) but it is certainly not lacking in bass. The signature is acceptable. Maybe a bit too upper-mid dialed for me, but I did JUST take them out of the box. More soon…

And my new drivers that I just ordered have already arrived in America.
