Sonos has just unveiled an all-in-one sound system with a great price; we rejoice

Ladies and gentlemen, Sonos just got better. Hard to believe we know, but the Sonos Zoneplayer S5 takes everything we loved about the previous incarnations of Sonos Zoneplayers and stuffs it into an all-in-one wireless sound box… complete with speaker!

Want to stream music from your PC over Wi-Fi? The Sonos Zoneplayer S5’s got it covered. Want to playback tunes from an iPod? The S5 says “no problemo”, thanks to the analog audio input. Want to do all this without hooking it up to your sound system? Natch. The S5 has a five-driver speaker system built in to encelop you in the glorious tunes it throws out (obviously we’re not talking about Lady Gaga).

And that’s not even the best bit. Sonos equipment has always been notoriously expensive. Sonos has aimed to bring multi-room music to the masses with the Zoneplayer S5. It’s out on November 10 and will cost £349, but for that you get everything built-in. And don’t forget that if you own an iPhone you can download the Sonos app and it’ll convert your Messiah Mobile into an awesome Sonos remote. They’ve thought of everything these clever, clever Sonos guys!
