can I track my beats based on the serial number if they are not registered to my phone

Hey there sdanahey,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. To get started, we do want to let you know that if your Beats were not set up with Find My before they went missing, then it would not be possible to track or locate your missing Beats.

For the best steps on what to do if your Beats are lost, check out this link here: If your Powerbeats Pro, Beats Studio Buds, or Beats Fit Pro are lost - Apple Support

If you lose your Powerbeats Pro, Beats Studio Buds, or Beats Fit Pro earbuds or charging case, you can use Find My to find them.

If your Powerbeats Pro, Beats Studio Buds, or Beats Fit Pro earbuds or charging case are lost or damaged, you can find your serial number, then contact Apple Support. If you have the original packaging for your Beats product, you might see the serial number next to the barcode. You might also find the serial number on the original product receipt or invoice.

Learn about pricing and service options.

If using an Android device then you would have had to add the Beats to the Beats app and give the app location permission, before the Beats were lost. Check out this next link for more details: Find a device using Locate My Beats in the Beats app for Android - Apple Support

We hope that's able to help.

Best regards.
