how to switch apple ids for airpods

I no longer have an iPhone, and I gave my airpods to my mother, she wants to have them under Apple ID, is there a way to get rid of the airpods under my Apple ID?

Also they are not listed as a device under my account.

Generation 3 Airpods

Hey MarioGC224,


Hmm, I don't think that AirPods can be "under an Apple ID" until they are paired with the device. For instance, my old AirPods 3rd Generation were under my Apple ID simply because I had them paired with my device. Once I unpair them or "Forget Device" (Under Settings) It removes them from my iPhone. Therefore I don't think that you have to do anything but pair your mother's phone with the AirPods and you'll be good to go! :)


Hope this helps! :D
