"Take a listen" pretty much means the same as "listen", although it's often used to talk about listening to music or some other audio media, especially if you're listening to it for the first time.

@GabrielEnglish2020 "Take a listen" is a phrase that sounds more friendly than simply commanding: "Listen."
It means the same thing, but it comes across as very friendly. It's like an invitation to listen rather than a command.
Another similar phrase: "have a see", which means the same thing as "look", but is more of an invitation to look than a command.

It means the same thing as listen but it doesn't sound as aggressive or abrasive as saying 'listen'. It is usually used when you want someone to pay attention to the audio you are playing or handing someone headphones.

The visual equivalent is " have a look". "Have a see" is grammatically incorrect.
