Default brake noise

I just installed some cryo treated rotors, and the pads have only about 500 miles on them. I hear a terrible rubbing / dragging sound from both passenger and driver side while the car is rolling, brakes or coasting. everything is installed correctly ( I have done it dozens of times ) and I can't see anything that is rubbing the disk. is it possible that the old pads just need to wear into the disks? the new disks have crosshatching on the disk face which kinda makes sense if the sound im hearing is them cutting into the pad. the face of the disk now does not show any intense wear, just very minimal wear from the pad but all the crosshatching is still visible. I have only drove around about 20 miles with this sound, should I give them more time to " brake in " ? the sound is pretty loud and pretty embarrassing.
