Creative XF1 desktop speakers offer high-quality hi-res audio for under $180
TechRadar reviewed the Creative XF1 active desktop speaker system priced at just under $180.
System specifications and power output
The speakers feature an active bi-amped arrangement that requires one unit to connect to mains power. The total onboard power output is 72 watts, which TechRadar describes as ample for likely use cases. Bluetooth connectivity is included with codec support.
Physical design and stand features
The system includes cork wedge stands that elevate the speakers to fire at the listener's ears rather than their torso. TechRadar notes the dimensions are compact and the stands provide useful elevation for the audio experience.
Sound quality assessment
Reviewers found the sound to be open, focused, and informative while delivering high-quality hi-res audio. The system is not considered a complete solution but gets close to that goal for the price.
