Meet your everyday noise cancelling headphones: the Volkano Odyssey Series ANC Headphones . Designed for commuters, students, and home-office heroes, these wireless over-ear headphones combine Active Noise Cancelling with plush ear cushions to help you focus on your music, podcasts, or calls. Bluetooth 5.4 delivers quick pairing and a steady connection, while powerful 40 mm drivers bring your playlists to life with dynamic sound.
Enjoy up to 20 hours of wireless playtime (ANC off at 50% volume), or 16 hours with ANC on - ideal for long days on campus or cross-city commutes. A built-in mic keeps your conversations crisp, and voice assistant support (Google & Siri) makes hands-free control effortless. When it's time to head out, the foldable design slips easily into your bag, and USB-C charging means fewer cables to worry about.
If you're comparing foldable ANC headphones, Odyssey hits the sweet spot of comfort, clarity, and battery life-without the premium price tag.

Troubleshooting Tips
Power & Charging Issues
- Ensure the USB-C cable is firmly plugged into the charging port and a 5V USB power source.
- Charge for 3-4 hours for a full battery.
- The headphones will not switch on if the battery is extremely low - allow a few minutes of charging before turning on.
- If the unit overheats during charging, unplug immediately and try a different USB port or charger.
- Hold the Power button for 2-3 seconds to switch on/off.
Bluetooth Not Connecting / Not Discoverable
- When powered on, the headphones automatically enter pairing mode (LED flashes red and blue).
- If not found, switch Bluetooth off/on on your phone and try again.
- Remove/"Forget" the device on your phone and re-pair as Odyssey.
- Keep the device within 1-2 meters during pairing and avoid other Bluetooth devices nearby.
Audio Issues - One Side Not Working / Weak Volume / Muffled Sound
- Ensure battery is above 20% - low power may cause audio imbalance.
- Reconnect Bluetooth to refresh stereo channels.
- Test AUX cable: if AUX works, the issue may be Bluetooth-related.
- Check that the earcups are fully extended and seated correctly. Loose extenders can affect sound.
- Inspect speaker grills for dirt or blockage.
Static, Crackling, Beeping & Interference
- Move away from WiFi routers, microwaves, or multiple Bluetooth devices - these can cause static.
- Reconnect Bluetooth and ensure a strong connection.
- Static when ANC is ON may be caused by environmental noise-switch ANC OFF and ON again.
- If static occurs only on Bluetooth but not AUX, the interference is wireless-related.
ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) Not Working / Buzzing Noise
- ANC reduces low-frequency sounds but does not completely block voices or sharp noises.
- If buzzing occurs: turn ANC OFF, wait 3 seconds, then turn ON again.
- Ensure the headphones are fully charged - ANC draws extra power and may behave incorrectly on low battery.
Buttons Not Responding / Works Only With AUX
- Buttons will not function while the AUX cable is connected.
- Remove the AUX cable to use Bluetooth and ANC features.
- For power or redial functions, press and hold the button slightly longer.
Loose Parts or Rattling Inside Ear Cup
- A rattling sound may be caused by impact or internal driver movement.
- Avoid shaking, dropping, or forcing the earcups open too wide.
Microphone & Call Quality Issues
- Ensure the built-in mic area is not covered by hair or clothing.
- Reconnect Bluetooth to refresh the call profile (HFP).
- Reduce background noise for clearer voice pickup.
