See the 'What you need' section in:

If your AirPods won't connect - Apple Support

With iOS 10 (as your tag says), you can only use 1st generation AirPods. Which are Model numbers: A1523, and A1722. The model number is on the first line of the text printed on the underside of each AirPod. For more info, see:
