When you wrote the question I was going to joke you forgot to include @Golov17.  I knew he would be the one with the answer.

I'm a bit late in responding, but thanks to @chinmie
, @flamesofarctica
, @golov17
, @Saoshyant
, and @luedriver
 for your all-rounder earbud help! And special shoutouts to @CharlesRievone
 for testing with my music :)

At this point it's a toss-up between the DIY EMX500 and the TP16. I'm convinced that the TP16 can handle my ambient, electronic, & rock music well without an amp, but the EMX500 looks particularly enticing with bass extension and clear highs. 

Is there anything that the MusicMaker TP16 does better than the EMX500? Or should I go with the latter, or just get them both? (I mean... the EMX500 + TP16 combined are cheaper than $40 Tomahawk earbuds. So that's a possibility!) Any thoughts?

Well, NiceHCK will sell VIDO, but at the request of Aliexpress they must remove the logo. There will be noname, but with VIDO drivers.
 


So the images will have Vido removed, but when you get the actual earbud, it will say Vido, correct? 

Do you know when they will start selling and the price?

They DID mention Deep and Tight Bass but even Edifier guy told me that he will prefer 180 over 190. May be 180 is with really huge Bass and Sub Bass so cannot be compared with P190. SHE3800 I found good on bass side and warm too but not detailed. Have you even listened to P190? If it is having Bass and Warmness exactly same as SHE3800 level, I can go for this. 
just buy VIDO with mic :sunglasses:

I guess the only thing that TP16 has against the EMX500 is that it has a mic :) lol.
 
Yeah I suggest you get both, since they're both relatively very cheap anyway, and you might actually like one earbud for a specific genre than the other.

How does the PIY PK2 compare to the Shozy Cygnus overall? Is there a significant difference between the DIY PK2 and other budget earbuds?
 
I have the Blox B160. There is an unambiguous difference -- for the better, between that and our favorite budget earbuds. It would be great if the DIY PK2 was in the same "mid" category. The B160 isn't an all rounder, but is much closer to the TY HP 650 in overall quality than budget buds.

I don't think the diy pk2 is a carbon copy of the cygnus yet its very close, compared to monk and hp32, I guess they are more neutral, couldn't say for sure
 
I have the b320, its different to my cygnus and hp-650 but equally as good, perhaps better if not a bit bright
 
this diy pk2 is definitely a wild card, I was not expecting it to sound as good as it does, but it's too similar to the cyngus for me
 
I'm not audiophile, so I can't go into detail on how they sound in comparison
 
still happy that I bought them I can use them for when I go out, I haven't used my cygnus outside after I had to return them for repairs

 
OK you convinced me! Just ordered a NICEHCK DIY PK2  - white with silver-ish cable.
