Pairing AirPods:

How exactly did you "reset" the cellphone? Go here, and see if it is seen in your Apple Account. If so, then it is paired with a device of yours(whatever the device). The only way for AirPods to show up in Find My is if they are paired with a device. The location shown is the location of the device that they are paired with was itself last connected to the Internet. Where to go: https://www.icloud.com/find
