Not a good idea, as the fit is not anymore what it should be,

The last few pages mention it, they're fantastic. Just get a size smaller than you're used to.

I am using the Spirals and it does improve my IE80's sound, comfort and overall experience. (I'm not certain if it's the insertion depth or isolation or the angle of the fit, that makes it better)
 
But not everyone has been lucky though. I guess it depends on the person's ear canal. 
 
Regarding size, I used M from the stock tips and the Spiral Dots' M was right for me. Although I would like to try the ML sometime in the future.
 
I guess the only way to know is to buy it.
 
Hope this helps!

Another vote for Spiral Dots on IE80. Before they were delivered from Japan I used some large CX300 II earbuds and they work quite well too.

Are the tips included with CX300 different from the IE80s? I own 3 Sennheiser earbuds: CX275S, MM30 and IE80. The included silicone tips for all these are the same.

The same for CX300 as well (at least for CX300 II )

I have rebought the IE80s for two reasons.
1. M100 did not give enough isolation from plane noise. (Only on too high volume.)
2. I have already had custom tips for the IE80s..
So I bought my new IE80 £15 less for what I sold the old one.

And to be honest, it is a surprise how clean and more analytical sound they have compared to the M100s. I forgot how clean sounding they are. (Sold the old one a couple of months ago.) I was wondering if due to some slight improvement in the driver they do sound a bit cleaner/crispier? Or just my old one was too used? If such thing exists?
Anyway, they sound better than the M100. On M100 bass is less clear and the headphone is much darker sounding.
Obviously headphones are much more comfortable than having something in your ear, even if it is a custom made silicon tip.
And they are not miles away from each others sound quality. It is quite close actually. M100 has more (not better) bass by default. IE80s bass is adjustable, as we know. (I find turning 25% the knob is optimal for almost any music.)
So M100s are airier, but darker, sometimes bass heavier. IE80s are cleaner, more analytical, clearer, faster, tighter.

I can enjoy music on both of them. Hard to choose a winner on pure sq. Obviously they give completely different music experience. The music is "in you" or the music is "around your head":
The winner would be the IE80 sound as a headphone. But it is an IEM, so it is not really fair to compare.
I loved my HD600, but with my music bass was missed sometimes. I am wondering if the Fidelio X2 (arriving in a couple of days) will be any good for me. According to many reviews and head-fi advices they are pretty similar to the 600s, just X2 is bassier.
 I can not wait to try them on.
 I miss my HD600 open dynamic sound. But I need more and better bass. X2 seems to be the one. Will see.

I classify myself as basshead. I tune the bass knot to max. of 80. But I'm satisfy with HD600's bass quantity.

That is interesting I was not, however I loved my HD600s very much for several reasons. Must be music genre specific...

Few things to note before you even check about sound: 
 
-IE800 has so short cable that it's unbelievable, if you are like me 185 cm (~6 feet) you won't be able to wear cable under your shirt and change song from your pocket, it's frustrating.
-It has stiff cable and huge stuff where Y split of cable is, so if you don't wear it under shirt it will bounce and hit your clothes and since cable is stiff it will make extreme noise in your ears
-It cannot be worn with cable over the ear because Y split is too high and even if it wasn't, then cable would be too short even for gnomes, let alone humans
-Because it is worn "regular" way, with cable straight down they don't exactly stay most securely inside ears
 
In my opinion IE800 is complete disaster and I wouldn't trade my IE80 for them, ever, even if they were the same price, let alone 2 times more.
 
Sound is good tho, bit different but I'd sa better than IE80, no mid bass "veil" as much as IE80 and highs seems to be sharper, which I didn't find particularly good but they sound more clear than IE80 for sure, still, all the trouble and unacceptable physical form makes them extremely bad product in my opinion, let alone better from IE80.
