Should you grab this €120 Sonos PLAY 5 before it vanishes? Yes, because €120 sits just below the median of €135 from your 50 recent EUR listings, making this a fair and solid deal rather than a bargain, yet still well under the 75th percentile of €248. It is not ambitious, and it respects the market reality that Gen 2 PLAY 5s remain highly sought after due to their discontinuation in 2020.
This speaker is a worthwhile buy because it was Sonos’s biggest and best-sounding standalone unit, uniquely featuring a line-in for turntables—a feature the newer Five lacks. Its enduring demand, original-owner credibility, and included accessories (if any) make this a genuine buying opportunity. With no red flags at this price and a clean listing, it’s a smart move for any music lover seeking timeless wireless performance.

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.
