Creative unveiled the XF1 desktop speaker system (model MF1730) on July 16, targeting compact desk setups. Each unit houses a 3‑inch FEA‑optimized woofer and together they deliver 72 W across a 55 Hz‑40 kHz range. A built‑in Hi‑Res DAC accepts USB, Bluetooth and 3.5 mm aux, while the matte black chassis keeps the footprint small.

The DAC supports 24‑bit/96 kHz playback and is Hi‑Res Audio certified, ensuring lossless reproduction from high‑resolution sources. Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity uses A2DP and AVRCP profiles, handling SBC, AAC and LDAC codecs for high‑fidelity wireless streams. Creative also announced a future subwoofer expansion slot, allowing users to boost low‑end response.

Pricing places the XF1 at SGD $249, roughly USD $190, a competitive figure for a Hi‑Res certified desktop set. By bundling a DAC and modern Bluetooth 6.0 into a single enclosure, Creative targets audiophiles who want desktop‑grade sound without a separate receiver. At that price point, the XF1 undercuts many entry‑level audiophile speakers, potentially forcing competitors to bundle DACs or update wireless specs.

Consumers can order the XF1 starting July 16 through Creative’s online store and authorized retailers worldwide. Early reviewers note the combination of power and Bluetooth 6.0 latency improvements makes the pair suitable for both music production and casual listening at the workstation.
