The Artpical Blue Planet is a planar wired IEM built around a single 12 mm aluminum-ribbon planar driver, rated 16 Ω and 98 dB/mW, in a 3D-printed shell inlaid with natural lapis lazuli. It suits collectors with a 4.4 mm balanced DAP or dongle who want Artpical's relaxed, natural planar tuning.
Who the Artpical Blue Planet is for
Planar-curious collectors: Artpical's self-developed 12 mm aluminum-ribbon planar diaphragm sits on dual-row magnets in a dual-cavity body, bringing planar speed and resolution to an in-ear.
Fans of a relaxed, natural tuning: Artpical spent 180 days on the tuning and chose a single large planar diaphragm to keep the presentation relaxed and natural.
Balanced DAP and DAC owners: The stock cable ends in a 4.4 mm balanced plug, so it pairs with a balanced DAP, DAC or dongle.
Art-piece collectors: Each pair inlays an undyed natural lapis lazuli stone, set into 3D-printed contour layers only 0.8 mm thick that trace a mountain's elevation lines.
Skip it if: your source only has a 3.5 mm output; the single included cable terminates in a 4.4 mm balanced plug.

Artpical Blue Planet vs similar options
vs Shanling ME900: A 2DD + 6BA hybrid on MMCX that includes 2.5, 3.5 and 4.4 mm plugs; pick it if you need a non-4.4 mm plug, the Blue Planet for a single 12 mm planar.
vs Shanling Moria: Also 0.78 mm 2-pin with a 4.4 mm plug, but runs one 10.2 mm titanium-diaphragm dynamic driver at 48 Ω; pick it if you prefer a dynamic driver, the Blue Planet for planar.
vs Shanling AE10: Ten balanced armatures per side at 12 Ω, also on a 0.78 mm 2-pin cable with a 4.4 mm plug; pick it for an all-BA design, the Blue Planet for one 12 mm planar.
