Find My can show your AirPods on a map, play a sound to help find them, and even help find their precise location when they're nearby.
On your iPhone, open Find My.
In Devices, choose your AirPods. If your AirPods are out of the case, you might have to pick the left bud or right bud. With AirPods Pro (2nd generation) or later, you can also pick the case.
Find your AirPods on the map.
If they aren't near you, tap Get Directions to open their location in Maps.

You might be able to get directions to their last known location — but you won't be able to play a sound or use Find Nearby.
If they come back online, you get a notification on your iPhone (or other Apple device that you use them with).
If you can't find your AirPods
In Find My, choose your AirPods and swipe up.
