Is £79 fair for a Sonos CONNECT in your system? Based on your recent comps, it’s bang on the median for the category, so this reads as a fair buy rather than a bargain or an overreach. At £79, you’re paying market rate for a piece that still has real utility if you want to feed a DAC, integrate a legacy amp, or add streaming to an older setup.
What makes it worthwhile is the CONNECT’s straightforward job: reliable network streaming, digital output for better external DACs, and easy whole-home integration if you’re already in the Sonos ecosystem. If it’s clean, fully working, and includes the power lead, that’s enough to make it attractive at this price. Just make sure the unit isn’t account-locked and that it connects properly, since at a fair price you want smooth setup, not a project.

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.
