Risk situations for AirPods theft

AirPods are small, discreet, and often left unattended. Here are the most common times when theft occurs:

On public transport

An AirPod falling out of one ear, a case lying on one's knee... On the subway or bus, pickpockets are quick to spot distractions.

In public places

Cafes, libraries, waiting rooms: placing your case on a table is a common reflex... but risky.

In the gym

Locker rooms are a prime location for theft, especially when your belongings are left unattended.

On a trip

In airports or train stations, loss or theft can occur in seconds.

What accessories should you use to secure your wireless headphones?

To avoid theft, you need to opt for discreet but effective accessories. Here are the ones to choose:

The case with carabiner

A hard case, equipped with a hook or carabiner, allows you to attach your AirPods to your bag or pants. This reduces the risk of forgetting them and opportunistic theft.

The anti-lost cord

These small links attach to the AirPods to form a sort of necklace. Ideal if you often remove your earbuds during the day.

The magnetic attachment

Some cases incorporate a magnetic closure system that prevents the case from opening on its own in your bag.

What are some tips to avoid AirPods theft?

Accessories are essential, but your habits matter too .

Here are some useful reflexes:

Never place your AirPods on a public surface

Even for a few seconds. Always store them in a closed pocket or secure bag .

Enable geolocation for your AirPods through Apple's Find My app. This allows you to find them or report them as lost.
