I am not an expert in BT headphones. I had enough experience with phones.
However the process to connect is the same

[bluetooth]# default-agent
No agent is registered
[bluetooth]# agent on
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# default-agent
Default agent request successful
[bluetooth]# pair 40:98:4E:90:56:E3
Attempting to pair with 40:98:4E:90:56:E3
Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists
[bluetooth]# trust 40:98:4E:90:56:E3
[CHG] Device 40:98:4E:90:56:E3 Trusted: yes
Changing 40:98:4E:90:56:E3 trust succeeded
[bluetooth]# connect 40:98:4E:90:56:E3

On my new stretch I also do not see an option to use the audio services on
the phone and in jessie I can in fact connect and use them.

So I found this here
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/258074/error-when-trying-to-connect-to-bluetooth-speaker-org-bluez-error-failed

But when I try $ pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
Failure: Module initialization failed

is it loaded or fails loading?

pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio --start
pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
20
pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
Failure: Module initialization failed

So it looks it was loaded anyway.

Now I open the blueman-applet and run bluetooth devices. There I select
audio source and it works. Unfortunately I do not have a BT headphones to
test with

I hope you get there as well
