Using the Find My App:

The first way, strongly recommended by Apple’s official website, is to use the Find My App and search for your list offline Airpods. It doesn’t mean that the app could help you find the current location of your dead Airpods, but there you will find the last place you used it, and it can be a helpful sign to start the search process.

Using this trick is easy, and you should only open the Find My App on your iPhone or iPad, then click on the Devices tab and choose your AirPods to see its last place.

Use the “Offline” or “No Location Found” option:

When your AirPods are offline or dead, and you try to find them by Find My App, you will see “No Location Found” displayed, which means the app couldn’t find your AirPods’ current location. But if you click on this option, you can still find a valuable clue by finding the last known location.

Activating Lost Mode:

To use this solution, you should always use Find My App. Also, I should mention that it only works if you have AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro (1st and 2nd generation), and AirPods Max.

1. Open Find My on your phone, or if you are using a computer, you should visit icloud.com.
2. Choose the Devices option from the bottom of the screen to see a list of connected devices.
3. Tap on the name of your AirPods. 
4. Now, if you just swipe it up, you will see more details and three options: Directions, Notifications, and Mark As Lost.
5. Click on the Activate option below “Mark As Lost”.
6. On the next page, you will see Lost Mode details, and you should choose Continue to keep up the process.
7. Type your 
8. Enter your phone number, and others can use it to contact you if they find it.
9. Finally, choose Next and Activate.

Using Bluetooth Range:

This solution is helpful when you think your AirPods are lost in the 150-foot Bluetooth range and probably not dead. Applications like Wunderfund help you find your lost AirPods using a radar.

1. Open the Wunderfund.
2. Choose the device you want to find.
3. Now, you should move until you see the Distance Score increase.
4. And it means your device is somewhere close to you.

Use your AirPods Serial Number:

To use this method, you should find your Airpods’ serial number on the original box, the receipt, or in your Apple account. Then you should announce Support or local authorities and give this serial number to them to identify and return your AirPods if they are found.

Also, having serial numbers will be helpful if the wrong person finds your AirPods and wants to pair them with his device because you can use them to trace him and recover your AirPods.

Remember the last place you charged them:

If this is the trick you want to use to find your dead or offline AirPods, it is good to know the battery life of second-generation AirPods (24 hours) and third-generation AirPods (30 hours). Now, based on these data and depending on your memory, you should find where and when was the last time you charged them to search for the best places.

Retracing Steps:

It should be the last option when none of the above-mentioned solutions worked. You can start the process of the retracing step by thinking about the last location you used your AirPods or what you were doing. For example, when you were exercising in the gym, or when you were in your friend’s home, walking, driving, or like this. Then, you should go and visit these places, asking people and searching by yourself to see if you can find them.
