Find My is the only way that you can track or locate a lost or missing device. There is no other Apple service that can find, track or otherwise flag your device for you. To find your AirPods, you'll need to set up Find My with your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch that you use with your AirPods.
Generally, your AirPods can be tracked as long as there is an active connection between your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch and the AirPods.
No, there is currently no way to block lost or stolen AirPods from being used by someone else. You can track and locate them using the Apple 'Find My' service, and even attach a message to the AirPods using Lost Mode, but you can't lock them.

In fact, losing AirPods (and their charging cases) is so common that people spend about $700 million replacing them each year, with replacements making up between 5% to 7% of all AirPod sales. What is this? But there's an easy fix for this: just use some waterproof first-aid tape!

If you have lost or misplaced your AirPods, they can be tracked down with Bluetooth through your iPhone. The downside of losing your AirPods in their charging case is that you will not be able to use “Find My” to locate them as they will not emit their locator signal.
