Yes, Josephie is right; it doesn't make sense without the "being" in the second part of the sentence.
You could also say, "Sometimes a good listener is better than a speaker."

No, without it, it doesn't make sense. But you can say:
Sometimes, it is better to be a good listener than speaker.
Hope this help,
Josephie
