At £40, this sits well below the £75 median and even under the £43 25th percentile for recent comparable GBP listings, so it reads as a strong deal rather than just a fair buy. Against that market, you’re getting in at the low end of the range, and that’s exactly where a used Sonos component becomes attractive.
The CONNECT is still a useful little box if you want to bring a legacy amp or DAC into the Sonos ecosystem, with solid multiroom streaming and a reputation for being easy to live with. At this price, the upside is straightforward: if it’s fully working and not missing anything important, it’s a tidy way to add Sonos control without paying near the typical £75 level; I’d just confirm power supply, digital output function, and that it’s been factory-reset before handing over cash.

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.
