When you first associate AirPods with your iPhone, they are automatically associated with your Apple account that is authenticated on that device. In this tutorial you see step by step, how to remove Airpods from your Apple ID account if you want to sell or give them to another person.
When you first open a pair of Airpods Pro from their charging casing and they are near an iPhone, a request on the phone screen appears, asking if you want to connect them to the device. Once you allow the AirPods to connect, they become associated with the Apple account of that iPhone and are added automatically to the Find My Network. In the situation where you own a MacBook, IMAC or iPad with the same Apple ID, airpods that are previously connected to the iPhone will also be automatically synchronized with these devices.
It is well known that AirPods can be used by other people, even if they are not associated with the Apple IPhone account to which they are connected. However, there are some aspects to consider. The person who initially authenticated them and is considered their owner will have the opportunity to locate them through the Find My application, issue sound alerts (Play Sound) or block them using the "Mark As Lost" function.
