Pretty much every brand > Bose.
For both headphones and home-speakers.
They have some nice PA and Car speakers, but apart from that. Avoid it like your mother in law.
It's exactly like Sara says here: Beats aren't necessarily bad, but they cost at least four times what a comparable AKG or Beyerdynamic or certain Sony's cost. You pay for Dre. Not for soundqualité.
They're made for Dre-like music. Loads of low-end. Mix your **** on these things and you will end up with too much mid and a ****load of bass.
For me there's only one 'brand' and that's AKG. But if you are into acoustic/vocals, be sure to consider the Beyer DT100's and Sennheiser HD25. Real monitor headphones, very good for solo instruments or acoustic music. If you want to make a great mix of multiple instruments, have a look at a proper AKG Hifi headphones. They are really honest and uncoloured.
