Hey y'all! I'm EnemySpider!
Before I start this review, I want to say that this is not a traditional review. My review style is just me talking about what I think of the IEM. I do not recommend things.
I am a high-volume listener.
I listen to a wide range of music. I listen to uptempo hardcore (example: Enemy Of The State - Deadly Guns & Elite Enemy Remix) and older Latin pop (example: El Triste - Jose Jose) the most. I use Spotify for my listening.
Enemy of the State El Triste
This will be a two-part review. A "Stock Review" and an "Upgrade Review."
My goal is to see if I like the IEM with no extra gear and if I can make the IEM sound more enjoyable with different ear tips and an external DAC/amp (dongles).
For the stock review, I use the stock ear tips, stock cable, and no external DAC/amp. The IEMs are connected straight into my workstation laptop.
For the upgrade review, I use different ear tips, a modular cable, and most of my external DAC/amps.

Channel matching is ok!
I will be reviewing the ND Planet today!
It came with a basic cable and some short, wide bore tips. The wide bore tips are a rare sight to see as stock tips. Massive points from me.
Stock Tips on Top - Whizzer SS20 on Bottom
Fit and comfort were fine. I wore it for hours with no problem. The planet did not build up pressure for me.
Let's start with the Stock Review!
I found it to be an easy IEM to drive with no dongle on my laptop.
Sounds like a high Pinna IEM with a focus on the mids.
This IEM has smooth details with the below detail retrieval. Some of the microdetails were lost.
Imaging and separation are quite good. Just that everything sounds warm/dark. The sound stage is wider than usual due to the stock wide bore tips.
It has a warm/dark tonality to it.
Overall Technicalities Rating is a good 7/10.
The Rating for Driver Configuration is a very solid 8/10.
My Preference Rating for the ND Planet fully stocked is a 7/10.
So this is a good iem but it's too dark/warm for me. The microdetails are kind of lost. The bass is good quality but lacks some of the punch I prefer. Also, it has a high pinna gain. I don't like that. I love how it comes with wide bore tips.
Did I enjoy this set? Yes. It was a unique listen.
Moving on to the Upgrade Review!
So I found that Wide Bore (Stock Tips & INfiter IE45 PRO) and Medium Bore tips worked best with the Planet. So the small bore tips make for a congested and very muffled listening. Medium bore makes for very intense/sharp listening, BUT it brings out micro details more. Wide bore is the most open and refined listening.
Stock Tips on Top - INfiter IE45 PRO on Bottom
I tested most of my dongles with the song Koi wa Explosion from "Love After World Domination." That song is great. The most refined-sounding dongles were the DawnPro and M12i. The best budget dongle was the Tangzu Yin. I noticed that none of the dongles sounded really warm. No dongle was the warmest way to hear the planet.
^Dongles I tested^ ^Koi wa Explosion^
Did I change the stock cable? Yes. I changed to the QKZ Q1. Mainly because it's modular, and I wanted to use 4.4.
How does the Planet sound now? Now the planet sounds rather neutral, leaning bright. The high pinna gain makes for a very mid-focused listening. It is now leaning bright in tonality. Detail retrieval is still smooth. ISSS has improved, but only by a little. It was great stock.
Overall Technicalities Rating is a good 7/10.
The Rating for Driver Configuration is 6/10.
My Preference Rating for the ND Planet fully upgraded is a 6/10.
Final Set Up: DawnPro (4.4) + QKZ Q1 Cable + Stock Tips 6/10
Budget Set Up: No Dongle + Stock Cable + Stock Tips 7/10
Did I enjoy the Planet? Yes, but I enjoyed it more fully stocked.
Did I enjoy it more than Stock? No. The warmth it had in stock is gone with every dongle.
That's it!
I found the ND Planet to be an okay IEM. I liked it more fully stocked.
I prefer CCA Polaris and KZ Castor over the ND Planet.

This is not a 1 star! I was supposed to put 3/5!
