I’m trying to get Kodi to play audio over some Bluetooth headphones, however am not having any luck.

@conoral11

I am using a Pi3 with the internal bluetooth module.

@conoral11

Have I missed anything critical?

1. Using the internal bluetooth module (especially if you use wifi) is known to be troublesome. But still might work see my next two points
2. Did you change the Audio Output under Settings → System → Audio (ALSA: Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound driver)? If you done that HDMI audio will go away as soon as the Speaker/Headphone connects
3. If your Headphone register as Headset there might be another step needed as explained here
