I want to buy a world band radio for my son. I'm thinking of the Eaton 1 on

Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think it should hinge on the interests of your son. Is he interested
in Radio or does he just want something to listen music, news, etc.
on? If the idea is to spur his interest in Radio, then the choice is a
no-brainer: get the E1 (or other real, over-the-air radio). If he
wants easy and high quality access to a lot of radio/internet audio
content, especially music, then an "internet radio" or audio bridge
makes sense.
