Embodiments of systems (400, 600) and methods related to the automatic adjustment of auto-darkening filter device parameters in response to settings of a welding system (400, 600) are disclosed. One embodiment includes a head-mounted device (100, 605) having a wireless receiver (130), an auto-darkening device (120, 620), and a selection device (124). The wireless receiver (130) is configured to receive wirelessly transmitted communication signals from an arc welding system (400, 600) which represent a present welding current setting and a present welding mode setting of the arc welding system (400, 600). The selection device (124) is configured to automatically select a shade and a sensitivity of the auto-darkening device (120, 620) in response to the present welding current setting and the present welding mode setting. The auto-darkening device (120, 620) is configured to sense the presence of an arc (A), transition from an un-darkened state to a darkened state in response to the arc (A), and transition from the darkened state to the un-darkened state when the arc (A) is no longer present.
