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.
About Find My
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 need to set up Find My with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that you use with your AirPods.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth. Or go to Settings > [your AirPods]. If your AirPods appear there as connected, tap the More Info button next to your AirPods, tap Forget This Device, then tap again to confirm.
When using Bluetooth (through the ''Find My'' function's ''Play Sound'' feature on your iPhone), AirPods emit a ringing noise to signal their specific location. You will also be able to locate your AirPods if somebody else is connected to them.
Unfortunately, the answer is No. You cannot track your AirPods Pro once reset. Although Apple introduced the 'Find My AirPods' feature, it won't work when someone steals and resets your AirPods Pro.
Since AirPods cannot connect to the internet on their own, whoever got your AirPods won't know that you enabled Lost Mode. But there's nothing stopping the person from connecting it to his own Apple device. Once paired with another device, you will be immediately notified of their location.
Hello ~ The best thing to do is turn them in to your local law enforcement department. The owners are most likely to check there.
Open the Find My app, then tap the Items tab or Devices tab. Tap the item or device you want to remove, then swipe up on the handle. Tap Remove Item or Remove This Device, then tap Remove to confirm.
If your AirPods get stolen or disappear, you can use Apple's Find My app to locate them and possibly get them back.
If you have AirPods Pro (2nd generation), you can find the precise location of each of your AirPods and the charging case. Open the Find My app on an iPhone or iPad that you previously paired with your AirPods. Tap Devices, tap the name of your AirPods, then tap Find.
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 no way for you to track that down.
To remove your AirPods or Beats headphones from Find My, unpair it from Bluetooth settings on each of your devices, then remove it from your devices list.
What happens when you mark a device as lost? A confirmation email is sent to your Apple ID email address. You can create a message for the device that says it's lost and how to contact you.
Removing a device from your Apple account and signing out does not remove all your data or information. If you intend to sell your device, be sure to perform a factory reset.
