AirPods 3rd Gen

Got my secondhand AirPods and when I paired them with my iPad using 16.1, I’m getting the cannot verify AirPod message, but in the info section I’m showing firmware 4C164 with model number A2564 and of course tried all methods of updating but cannot do.

Checked serial number in Apples main serial checker, and getting the message below, does anyone know if the new update as a design fault, cannot check on iPhone as it’s not delivered yet.
