I lost my Airpods 4(ANC) case , i was wearing the airpods at the time so i have them with me - i tried FindMy to locate them, but couldn't find them and the case eventually ran out of charge
now i know someone who has an old Airpods 4 case which doesn't have it's corresponding buds , can i use the case with my Buds so i can give them a second chance?

Hello,
Yes, you can use your Apple AirPods 4 (with Active Noise Cancellation) buds with a different Apple AirPods 4 charging case. However, there is a critical compatibility rule: the case must match the specific model of your buds.
If you misplace your AirPods 3, AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max, you can mark them as lost and create a message that provides your contact information.
If you have AirPods 4 (ANC), AirPods Pro 2, or AirPods Pro 3, you can also separately mark each of your AirPods and the case as lost, in the event that you lose just one or your AirPods are separated from the case.
