Hey Eddie3875,


Unfortunately non-genuine AirPods can show on Find My network. I used to have a pair of fake 3rd Generation AirPods and they showed on Find My. (however did not have the features of playing a sound if lost)


What firmware update are you running on your AirPods Pro? You can check by going to Settings >> Bluetooth >> Click on the (i) icon next to your AirPods and scroll down to where it says "Version" under the About section. The most recent firmware update is 5E133.


You can identify whether or not your AirPods are real or not by using this Apple Support Document: Identify your AirPods - Apple Support (IE)


You can also learn about the latest AirPods firmware update, and how to update your AirPods if they are genuine here: About firmware updates for AirPods - Apple Support (IE)


I hope this helps man! :D
