Hey Tonymatta_23,

In order to associate the AirPods with a new Apple ID, the original owner would need to remove them from their account.

You can learn more about that here: If an item or device is connected to another Apple ID - Apple Support

"If you can't remove the device or item from an Apple ID

If you can't remove the device or item from an Apple ID, you should reset it.

When you reset your device or item, it won't provide its location information to the previous owner. However, you still won't be able to associate the device or item with a different Apple ID."

Thanks!
