Listen to a variety, if listening is important to your aims. . Emulate the ones that you want. . Many people obsess about accent, but unless you want to work in a call centre and sound as if you are just across town from a customer, accent is not always important. English has many accents, all acceptable. Similar to the cultural differences that have one person use "sir" every sentence, another never using it. Often sounding normal and intelligibility of meaning are the only real criteria. As others commented, many accents will sound the same to a beginner. Discrimination comes with familiarity. If you listen to several, you may also find the ones you find easiest to make the most progress, before diversifying later.

I think it's good to get accustomed to understanding different English accents. But in the beginning of learning English, I agree that you should studying learning in one accent first. And then as you begin to recognize the pronunciation of English words in that accent, then trying exploring other accents. Too many accents at once may confuse you. I understand this because I would practice listening to Spanish from native speakers in Spain and Mexico. And some words are pronounced differently at times between both countries. I wish you the best in your learning! If you love the American accent, that would be a great start for you!

As a beginner, it will take longer when you hear so many different accents, but ultimately, it may be better in the very long run. I recommend that you stick with one country, one accent and understand it well, until you are comfortable in the language. Then begin to branch out to your heart's content.
