I recently bought a gen 3 AirPods. I am trying to redeem my 6 months of free Apple Music, but i keep getting this message. If I click transfer, what will happen? Does this mean my AirPods are connected to someone else’s Apple ID?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 15

Based on the screen shot, it appears the your AirPods are connected to another Apple ID. If you click transfer, you should be able to connect the AirPods to your Apple ID, which will allow you to redeem your 6 months of free Apple Music.
