Looking for a 4.4mm balanced cable at or around 100 bucks. Lots of different cables available, so curious to hear what you think the best bang for buck might be. I had a budget end Arctic Cables for my 660s, but it was just okay. Stiff and a bit unruly. After a manageable 4-5 footer that doesn't kink and twist.

Look at Audiophile Ninja. I pretty happy with the one I got for my 650s. It's well behaved and sounds good.

Looks like a nice cable. Maybe a bit thick. Does it hang freely, or like to kink and curl?

It hangs very nicely, no kinks or curls.

If you'd like to get a really slinky and light cable that's not microphonic at all, I'd suggest checking out Forza AudioWorks products, especially their Noir range. We've been using these cables for years and we think they're great for their price. Noir cables are above your budget, but worth the extra expense.

I am very happy with my forza cables where I have them, although on my hd650s I have audio sensibility cables. Also very pleased with those. Can't go wrong with either but as the previous poster said, above your budget.

Hart Audio or Corpse Cable is my usual recommendation. I've got a couple of both and am happy with them.

Indeed. Matt's Claire is a bit closer to the budget but doesn't fit as well. I think that years ago he had a budget series (Color, was it?), but not available now.
