Finally got the Vivo XE800.

Packaging: Plastic Bag...that's it.
Accessories: 6 silicone tips.
 
I bought from rilpac or whatever they are, so I'm pretty certain they're real..

I'd love to give you other impressions, but no matter how I swivel the nozzle, I can't seem to get them in far enough to get a decent seal. Cable down the strain relief and cable push on my anti-tragus. Cable over ear the strain relief pushes on the anti-helix. I have over 15 different pairs of IEMs and the only other time I've had this issue was with the TRNDLabs COAL Organic. https://www.trndlabs.com/product/coal-organic-earbuds/ 

I'm going to try some tip rolling with foamies and dual flanges later this evening to see if I can work out some sort of shallow seal. Otherwise, these may end up being a failed experiment for me.

adding some spacers to the nozzle, you can get a few milimeters deeper insertion, while keeping the shell shallower, so it does not push on your ear

I love my rock zircons, but does anyone know an IEM that is a step above the zircons while having as much bass as the zircons. I tried TFZ Series 1 but while it definitely has more mid-bass, I found that the sub-bass rumble on the zircons was much stronger. I also tried Maples but to me they lack bass.

Interesting, did you just find rubber bands or something that were the right size, or did you purchase that from somewhere?

got silicone/rubber o-rings of many sizes to have spares for vape gear (but found many applications afterwards).
found them cheap (at last, after months of research and trying in ebay and online stores) in fasttech.
you can find 1mm, 1.5mm tall o-rings there (suitable for acting as separators).
 
these are silicon 7.8(OD)x5.6(ID)x1(T)mm o-rings (too wide for XE800):
https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10006772/1886601-silicone-o-ring-seals-for-atomizers-50-pack
 
but you can access to every sizes from these links, for example:

https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10006430/4625003-rubber-o-ring-seals-for-e-cigarette-50-pack
 
Edit:
if diameter of the nozzle is 4mm, try o-rings with 3-4mm(ID) (5x3x1, for example). if they are tighter, they'll keep quieter when applying pressure from the tip, and they won't go beyond the lip.
some nozzles have a very narrow lip to mark the limit for the tip; in that cases, you can stack some o-rings from the shell to the lip, so they act like a tougher lip (whenever there are not vent holes in that part, like in the "noname").

Does anybody know about the wrz x6?

I am looking something that I can use at the gym. Maybe zircon sports?

You can also cut off a bit of the 'base' of an old tip. As long as the nozzle is the same size. 
 
Its unfortunate that they dont fit you in stock configuration, hopefully tip rolling will do the trick. 
Don't forget to give them a proper burn in.
