Isn't detecting pressure waves in air exactly what microphones do?

Yes. But they usually are not performing very good between 1-250Hz.

Sensirion is using a thermal flow-sensing principle method which is basically a heated plate that cools/heats up when air passes it - making it extremely sensitive in this range.
