5 of the best Beats alternatives

Focal Spirit One £200 focal.com
Focal's first ever cans look the business and they tread a fine line between 'cuddle' and 'squeeze' to give a snug fit. Leather, rubber and aircraft-grade aluminium keep material fetishists happy and they generate a spacious soundfield to boot. With tones that balance carefully between excitement and detail, they'll prefer the heftier end of your collection. Look, feel and sound – the Focals cover all the bases and they're Stuff's Beats alternative pick.
