About Use of Find My and AirPods:

Was Find My enabled for these through a device? The location shown in Fin My is only the location of the device that these were synced with was itself connected to the Internet. This is because AirPods are not Assigned their own IP Address. Go Here: Keep track of personal items using Find My - Apple Support


Secure your Info:

If these were in Find My, but no longer are, then someone may have access to your account. So, (A)verify your devices, and (B)modify your credentials. Open a new eMail address and use that for your Apple ID.

1. Verify your Devices:
