How the heck do you put a single flange tip OVER a double flange tip? Looks like it's no where close to fitting.
And do you mean the dark gray double flange tip or the black double flange tip?

You could actually use both. I generally used the black large double flange and put the large black single flange over the double flange tip. You can force the bottom tip piece into the opening of the large double flange tip and wrap the single flange over the double one so it is as one piece. Then just put the newly combined piece on the IE80. Should do the trick.

So I did manage to get them on because of the difference in circumference of the inner and outer rubber piece, there is a fold inside the inner tube which blocks the pathway. I did try to fit them on anyway and still doesn't seal well.
By the way, thanks for the links. I checked out but they still don't look big enough.
So hating my ears right now...

Personally I don't like deep seal (which is not the case with IE80). Deep seal makes me uncomfortable due to pressure generated from vibration of the dynamic drivers in airtight space. This is even more for long hrs of music. Also the airtight seal may cause boomy sound (if I have described it correctly).
 
To check if you have the proper seal you can press your fingers slightly against the IEM's, if you hear little change of bass then you have a good seal. This is from my experience.

I do have freakishly wide ear canals. I can fit almost 1/2 of my thumb into the ear canal so I have to go deep until the opening narrows but the IE80's housing won't let me...

Ok after 3 days of fiddling with tips I think I've cracked it for my own case. Double flange, barely pushing in creates a seal and FINALLY the bass I've been looking for. Pushing in any deeper causes a major loss of sub bass and mid bass. I'm quite happy with these now. Still contemplating some customs, but this is the sound I'm after. Thanks head-fiers!

This is why customs exist (or at least one of the reasons)

 

[Dougeefresh]

Sure, customs are for freaks...
Not ready to shell out so much dough for IEM yet.

just received my IE80 but they sound very muddy,how much burning do they need?

 

[Migou67]

For me their sounding well out of the box, no burning time with this IEM, what source and files are you using ? Check your fit, this is very important and try different tips.

There are many opinions floating around about burn in and we'd normally recommend a duration of approximately 24 hours (at a reasonable level, of course). And yes, do try on the various ear adapters to ensure the best personal fit for yourself.

Try removing the core from a Comply Foam tip and using it with a Large Sony Hybrid or the largest Senn Tip, the Comply will force the silicone tip to expand to it's Max size.  Another option would be Monster Super Tips.
 
If you need more length, the Triple Flange tips from Audiozone's eBay store might work also.

Received my pair today

Now trying to find the right fit and playing with the bass knob.

One bothering thing, I'm missing a small double flange silicone tip. For the rest it's complete.

Sound is very good. Nice bass (knob at 50%). Vocals stands loose of the music. Certainly worth the wait and money.

Edit:
Turned down the bass a notch (2nd notch now). Favorite tips thus far: Double flange sillicone (normal ones) and the foam also sounds nice.
BTW, is this the same foam as Shure uses? Looks much denser than Comply foams.

I have never owned the coppers but going off from others reviews even the IE8s were superior to them. So in that you'd be getting a nice upgrade in that regard. Just make sure to get them from an authorized dealer to protect yourself and haggle them down in the price.

 

[MuppetFace]

Aren't the Coppers supposed to be more fun / colored IEMs? The IE80 seems more on the analytic / reference side by comparison.
 
PS. "Let me know ASAP people" ...? Sheesh. A little manners go a long way.
