Guess my friend.
A tail and mouths comprise me,
for shy I am
my hands fight continuously,
But give others jam.
Hint
Alone I am weak, with a friend I am powerful.
I do not create, but propagate.
Nowadays, they cut my tail and hands,
It does not bother me much as I can speak as much.
You might be
earbuds.
A tail and mouths comprise me,
tail is the single cord that plugs into a device, like a phone.
mouths are the two speakers in the earbuds proper.
for shy I am
You hide inside people's ears
my hands fight continuously,
hands are the two cords that lead to the earbuds themselves, linking them with the "tail".
They "fight" because they're always getting tangled with each other.
But give others jam.
As in music.
Hint

Earbuds by themselves do nothing. Plug them into something and they can now function.
I do not create, but propagate.
Earbuds only play back what others have said or recorded.

The microphone is passed around to people eager to show they are the best.
But give others jam.
People sing not just for the purpose of competition, but having fun and rocking out to good music.

A microphone by itself is useless. You need a sound system to convert the electrical signal to an amplified sound.
Not really sure but let's try:
Wind Instrument, especially brass wind instrument

Without someone to play sound through it, a speaker is silent
I do not create, but propagate.
A speaker propagates sound

Many speakers are wireless now
