And, while it’s noticeable, it’s also subtle. When switched to the “Studio” setting, the sound is supposed to flatten for a more neutral frequency response. This means that the bass is a bit louder and thumps a bit more, though you’re never going to get really low sub-bass with these, and the high end is slightly boosted. The sound quality itself is pleasant with a “Smile” type frequency range when toggled to the “HiFi” setting. Luckily, these speakers still sound great with an analog connection.

So, having a physical digital connection is preferred when connecting a computer when you want excellent sound without lag such as playing games and recording music. Though Bluetooth allows you to connect to just about any modern device, whether your smartphone, Mac or PC, Bluetooth still introduces a tiny bit of lag. The only thing that’s really missing to make these the perfect companion to a computer setup is USB connectivity. Essentially, by toggling this switch, or as Vigilant Audio calls it: “The Switch,” you can go between a more consumer-friendly sound (HiFi) and one more suited for music production (Studio).

The on/off switch is back here as well as the Studio to HiFi switch which gives these speakers their name. There are TRS Stereo balanced inputs for music production setups, RCA inputs for an analog connection, as well as a Bluetooth pairing button. On the back of the left speaker again, where the built-in amp is, you’ll find all the other inputs.
