However, it is important for you to know that it still relies on the iPad and iPhone which you are using, along with the Bluetooth so as to find your location and show the place where you last had them. "Find My iPhone" helps in locating the headphones within the Bluetooth range of any of the iOS devices which has been signed to iCloud. If your AirPods are somewhere near those devices, then the device’s location will show you the exact location where you need to start looking for the AirPods.
However, if your AirPods are nowhere within the Bluetooth range of any of the iOS devices which you use, then either they need to be recharged or they are in the closed AirPod case. "Find My iPhone" will show you the exact location where your AirPods were last connected with the iOS devices.
