How can I find out if my second hand bought AirPods are stolen?

Hi all,

I recently bought a second-hand pain or AirPod Pro 2nd generation online from BackM*****t,

when I connected them to my iPhone it showed that were associated with another email address, how do I know if this product has been stolen before or not? I do not want to have any problem with it and I thought the product was just refurbished and sold with an agreement from the previous buyer. I don't say that have been stolen as I don't know for sure. I do not want to sponsor this kind of market and I can technically return and get my refund in 30 days.

can you help and to have an answer and understand?


thank you

These AirPods must be removed from the previous owner’s Apple ID before you can use them. Have the previous owner do that as described here (in the last paragraph) or get a refund.
