Creative XF1: Hi-Res Audio and 72W RMS for Your Desk
Special attention also paid to customization via the Creative Nexus app
Creative expands its audio offering with XF1, a new desktop system designed for those seeking superior sound quality without sacrificing compact dimensions. The European debut is set for August 6, 2026 with a list price of 159.99 euros.
The system adopts a fully active 2.0 configuration with dedicated amplification for woofer and tweeter. The total power reaches 72W RMS, while the frequency response extends from 55 Hz to 40 kHz, a value that allowed XF1 to obtain both Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification.
Compact System with Extensive Connectivity Options
Creative also focuses on versatility. In addition to the USB-C connection with audio support up to 24 bit/96 kHz, the system integrates Bluetooth 6.0 compatible with the LDAC codec and a 3.5 mm analog input. There is also a dedicated output for connecting a subwoofer, useful for transforming the setup into a 2.1 configuration.
Particular attention has been paid to customization. Through the Creative Nexus app, it is possible to adjust equalization using a 10-band parametric EQ or choose from over 120 presets developed by the company for music genres and video games.
Available in white and black colorways, XF1 adopts a minimalist design intended to integrate easily alongside monitors and notebooks. Removable cork stands also orient the speakers towards the listener, promoting more precise reproduction for close-range listening.
