If someone stole my AirPods and connected to them can they see my address?

I believe TheLittles has the visibility reversed. The lawful owner would be able to see the location of the stolen AirPods. The thief would see warnings when trying to pair with their iPhone. I just tried setting up my AirPods Pro with my work iPhone (different Apple ID) and there is are multiple warnings for not my device, then finally

a warning the AirPods belong to someone with a different (concealed) Apple ID. So in simple terms a thief can't see anything sensitive but you as the legitimate owner might be able to locate the thief.

I also believe you should keep the stolen AirPods marked as lost and locked on your Apple ID. DO NOT remove the stolen item from your Apple ID, because this releases it and enables the thief to take full control and ownership to their dishonest Apple ID.

No. For that they would need access to your account.

What Type of Address?:

email address? OR Mailing address? OR something else?

For reference…

Secure your Account:

If you are concerned for information and data breaches, then secure your account, starting with a new password. I recommend you change the password once every two or three months. Someone may have your credentials every-so-often —you never know.

Securing your Account can be Performed Much More in Depth:

Do four things…

A. Re-Associate All Devices:

Disassociate all devices from your Apple Account, first.  Sign out of iCloud on all of your devices. Go here to check the devices associated to your account: Check your Apple ID Device list to See where you're Signed in - Apple Support. Then, log in to your Apple iCloud Account on each device.

B. Verify Your Devices:

Verify that your the devices logged in to your account or officially yours, by using this link: Check your Apple ID Device List to See where you're Signed in - Apple Support

C. Consider Modifying your Credentials:

By all means, consider modifying your credentials, starting with a new password.

• Modify: your login credentials (Using Both a New eMail and a New Password for each and all sites)
• Associate: a different method of payment to your account
• Enable: Two-Factor Authentication for Apple ID and for all other accounts that have such an applicable option.

D. Change the Password and Passcode:

• Mac: Change or Reset the Password of a macOS User Account in macOS Mojave or Earlier - Apple Support
• iPhone: Change your Passcode or Passcode Settings - Apple Support

Getting Location form AirPods:

If these were synced to your Apple Account, then they would see the location of your device. AirPods are not assigned their own IP Address. So, remove these from your account, if lost, as it would be a privacy issue.

To Clarify:

Seeing “address” it seems they are talking about a “Mailing address”. But, that would only be a concern if someone else already has access to their info.

None of this has anything to do with stolen AirPods. I won’t go over it step by step, but everything in your post is just wrong.

Oh I see. Thanks for clarifying you post.

There’s nothing evil about it.
