Might be a little ambiguous as to 'which one do you think are good companies', and 'which one do you think produce good stuffs that you like'

 

As to the first one, almost all 'real' audio brand are good companies. Sennheiser, Audio Technica, Beyerdynamic, AKG, Sony, Philips, Shure, Audeze, Hifiman, the list goes on.

 

As to the second one, mine is the Hifiman and Audeze. Remember, not because I think the others are bad, but the ones' products that I like the most are those 2.

Most companies that wear the audio company or audiophile badge.

 

I'd raise some eyebrows on fashion audio and gamer audio companies.

I trust no company, take each product and situation individually. No other pragmatic option when money is involved.

In the CIEM world, corporate trust is a big deal since every product is custom made and unique. The a few of the best bets there are Jerry Harvey, 1964 Ears, and Creative Arts, but there are a lot of manufacturers to choose from so company research is key.

While I won't blindly trust a company just for making one or two good products that I like, I'm very impressed with my HifiMan HE-400's and RE-400's, Sennheiser HD 558's (newest addition and also my new favorite), and Ostry KC06A's. 

 

Not all that thrilled with the Audio Technica ATH-M50's, but I'd like to try some of the ATH-AD line, as they sound like they're more up my alley.

Beyerdynamics. I've had one of their cheapest model, and they were outstanding both in terms of sound and the materials were tank grade quality.

I'm telling the truth! I AM a 12 year old girl!
