Yes. You can pass it on.
Is the question still relevant?
My personal opinion: YES
Advantages(+) / disadvantages (-) of the Five vs Play 5 (2nd gen)::
+ More int. memory + More powerful CPU (according to SONOS).
+ White colour version now also has white front (matter of taste)
+ Longer system life expectancy and support
- Currently almost 30% more expensive
- Same sound technology, no noticeable improvement in sound quality (expert testimony)

No, you don't necessarily need Wi-Fi. The Play does not have to be online all the time. Setting it up once is enough. After that, you can play via AUX.
2) Yes, it is a one-time thing. But remember, the thing has no other control buttons or anything. If you want to increase the volume, for example, you still have to use the app, depending on the amplifier. But you can do that via your app.
3 I can't say anything about it. I have Android. But it is supposed to work. Set it up once and it's good. But I've never tried it myself.
I think this product is just the Play 5 in black, without the One with it, right?

Hello
Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything quickly. However, I would like to point out that the Play:5 is not designed for outdoor use. Sonos itself offers an outdoor package with an amp and speakers certified for outdoor use at https://www.sonos.com/de-ch/shop/amp-and-outdoor-set.html. With this solution, cables would of course have to be run from the amp to the speakers. Alternatively, you can get a Sonos Move and move it outdoors if necessary. With this solution, no cables would have to be pulled and you remain flexible.

I find them absolutely sufficient, as the sound is very good with very appealing bass. It's a top speaker.

It's a promotion from Sonos. You need to purchase from the Sonos website.

Hello, complicated answer it seems.
A piece of the answer here: https://support.sonos.com/s/article/4786?language=fr
So from May 2020 some hardware will no longer be supported by their software updates, depends on the date of manufacture (not the type of product).
My personal experience is very recent:
I just received a Sonos Connect as a replacement (Warranty). The new one received will not be supported, the one sent back (bought December 2018) would have still been supported after May 2020.....Bref it's not joy.
My Sonos Play 5 and two Sonos Play 1s (bought December 2018) will still be supported.
So most likely a purchase now will be supported, but given my problem above this is not guaranteed.

I have not had a repair yet. I would check with Digitec.
You can add as many additional Sonos speakers as you like, no matter how old your existing Sonos speakers are. Then you can use the app to control the new speaker individually or connect it to the others in sync. You never need an intermediate device, no matter how many speakers are connected.

They can be connected in parallel, but not as a stereo pair. Lg

I assume it is a Thorens turntable, see link https://support.sonos.com/s/article/1080?language=de, section "Input from a turntable" or https://blog.sonos.com/de/schallplatten-ueber-sonos-hoeren/ ... the Sonos PLAY5 has real power, sufficient bass experience for the size and and good stereo sound.
Yes, with the new firmware
You can't "connect" the PLAY5 that directly. Have a look on the net... I connected the Playbar to the TV (optical cable). The Playbar then builds up a network and can optionally be supplemented with a subwoofer and left/right speakers (3.1 or 5.1). The PLAY5 can be integrated as the left/right speaker. Personally, I don't think this makes sense because PLAY1s are perfectly adequate. But that's a matter of taste and money ;-)
Good evening
I cannot say anything about the power consumption. It is the second generation. The first generation looked quite different.
Unfortunately, the community cannot answer such a question.
Questions, answers and discussions must be explicitly related to the products and their functions. General questions about orders, delivery times or prices should be asked directly to the customer service.

It works, but in my experience it doesn't work very well. You definitely have a delay on the signal compared to the TV (=have to switch off the loudspeaker). Taking them into a group is possible. However, you have to switch Sonos on to the analogue input. Playbar is the path that runs for the TV.

Hello. Yes, this is the second generation.
First question: Yes, you can connect the speaker directly to the Wifi via the Sonos app.
It depends on what you want to connect with it. You can find suitable cables here (it is best to use the filter "Audio cable type"): https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/producttype/audio-kabel-296
