Creative has introduced the XF1 desktop speakers, a new audio solution that brings high-resolution digital-to-analog conversion and modern wireless connectivity to the desktop market. The product appeals to users seeking improved audio quality from their computers without the need for external audio interfaces or a complete system overhaul. The XF1 serves as an upgrade to previous desktop speaker models by incorporating dedicated high-fidelity decoding hardware.
Hi-Res Audio certified desktop speakers with 72W RMS output
The device carries the model number MF1730 and features a bi-amplified design that drives two 3-inch woofers. Creative positions the XF1 as a versatile desktop audio component that connects to computers, phones, or other media sources. The system includes cork stands to stabilize the units on flat surfaces.
