Creative Launches Compact Hi‑Res XF1 Desktop Speakers

LDAC wireless with USB‑C high‑res playback plus an app‑controlled 10‑band parametric EQ deliver audiophile features for small desks.

Overview

  • Creative has released the XF1 desktop speaker system and the product is listed as available in the announced markets through the company and major outlets.
  • The XF1 uses a fully active 2‑way, bi‑amplified design with DSP control, bespoke 3‑inch woofers and a total 72W RMS output to aim for clearer sound and lower distortion than typical compact desktop speakers.
  • The speakers support Bluetooth 6.0 with LDAC for Hi‑Res Audio Wireless, USB‑C playback up to 24‑bit/96kHz, a 3.5mm line‑in and a dedicated subwoofer output for easy 2.1 expansion.
  • Creative’s Nexus app provides a 10‑band parametric EQ and more than 120 presets for music, games and movies, and the hardware is built for desks with a small footprint, detachable cork stands and black or white finishes.
  • Company pricing lists the XF1 at US$179.99 and €159.99 while some outlets report a different U.K. price, and coverage notes a staged global rollout with regional availability varying by market.
