Are AirPods locked to my account upon pairing?

I lost my AirPods at the gym. I'm hoping these AirPods are locked to my account, similar to Find my iPhone. Because if I can't use them, then at least the thief who took them can't use them either.

AirPods, iOS 11.0.3

No, AirPods do not have Activation Lock like the iPhone does. A finder could pair them to their iPhone, unfortunately.
