I'd like to but I can't, I've never listened to IE80.
To be nasty and go a bit off-topic, I should say I never bothered trying IE80 after having briefly auditioned IE8, I couldn't simply put with their lack of highs and bloated mid-bass. In my mind I had written off Sennheiser IEMs for a long time, and that's why IE800 truly took me by surprise when I finally tried them.
IE80 sounds amazing to me, after burn-in it is very balanced.
The bass is only bloated if you tune it to the max - otherwise very well controlled and impactful.
