At €300, the asking price for this used Sonos PLAY 5 is ambitious, clearly exceeding the 75th percentile of €248 from our 50 recent EUR comparable listings, where the median sits at €135 and the 25th percentile at €85. This is not a bargain; it’s a premium ask for a discontinued model, especially without clarity on condition or included accessories.
The PLAY 5 (Gen 2) remains well-regarded for its powerful, standalone sound and unique line-in for turntables—features the newer Sonos Five lacks. It’s a sought-after buy for analog enthusiasts, but paying €300 only makes sense if the unit is pristine, original-owner, and fully accessorized. Otherwise, it’s hard to justify over the strong market median.

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.
