At US$45, this is a strong bargain versus the recent used market: it sits well below the US$58 25th percentile and far under the US$100 median for comparable listings. For a CONNECT, that’s the kind of pricing that usually leaves room for a quick, low-risk pickup if the unit is functional and complete.
The CONNECT has long been valued as a clean, reliable way to add Sonos streaming to an existing hi-fi, especially if you want digital output into a DAC or AVR rather than another powered speaker. At this price, the upside is straightforward: easy integration, solid app-based streaming, and a useful bridge for a system that needs network audio without much fuss. Given the age of the platform, I’d just confirm it boots properly, joins the Sonos system, and includes any needed power/adapter details.

Sonos emerged from Santa Barbara, California, in 2002 as Rincon Audio, Inc., founded by John MacFarlane, Craig Shelburne, Tom Cullen, and Trung Mai. MacFarlane's success with Software.com provided crucial seed funding for their audacious goal: a wireless multi-room music system free from the wires and complexity plaguing home audio at the time. Renamed Sonos in 2004, the company debuted its pioneering ZonePlayer and controller in 2005, cementing its roots in innovative, user-centric sound technology.
The brand specializes in wireless speakers, soundbars, and home theater systems designed for seamless multi-room playback and integration with streaming services. Sonos offers everything from portable Bluetooth options like the Roam to high-fidelity architectural speakers and subwoofers, alongside recent forays into headphones and whole-home audio solutions. Amplifiers, turntables, DACs, and cables fall outside their core focus, which prioritizes app-controlled ecosystems over traditional hi-fi components.
Sonos holds a commanding mid-to-premium position in the consumer audio market, renowned for inventing wireless HiFi and setting the standard for effortless, high-quality sound. Trusted by audiophiles and casual listeners alike, it blends accessibility with sonic excellence, dominating the smart speaker segment while appealing to discerning buyers seeking scalable, future-proof systems.
