Two families of SO(2n) Higgs models in $2n$ dimensional spacetime are presented. One family arises from the {\it dimensional reduction} of higher dimensional Yang-Mills systems while the construction of the other one is {\it ad hoc}, the $n=2$ member of each family coinciding with the usual SU(2) Yang-Mills--Higgs system without Higgs potential. All models support BPS 'monopole' solutions. The 'dyons' of the {\it dimensionally descended} models are also BPS, while the electrically charged solutions of the {\it ad hoc} models are not BPS.
