This is a buyer’s market for discontinued Sonos speakers, but the €600 asking price for the Sonos PLAY 5 is clearly overpriced. Based on the ground truth from 50 recent EUR used listings, the median is €135, with the 75th percentile at €249; the €600 price sits far above even the top 25% of the market, making it ambitious and not a fair deal.
The PLAY 5 (Gen 2) remains well-regarded for its powerful, standalone sound and rare line-in for turntables, a feature no other Sonos speaker offered. Its discontinuation in 2020 has created genuine scarcity, and original-owner units with accessories can be worthwhile buys. However, at €600, a buyer should only proceed if the condition is flawless, all cables are included, and there’s no risk of age-related failure—otherwise, it’s not a smart purchase.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
